If you’re not getting good sleep, you may be at risk for serious health problems. We know that proper sleep allows the body to repair and the mind to renew. We also know that heart attack, stroke, and depression occur frequently in people with sleep disorders. But there’s more!
Research shows that sleep disorders might contribute to the frequency of epileptic seizures, low immunity, growth and development problems, mental disorders like depression and schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease.
There may also be a link between sleep problems and asthma attacks, which, like strokes, often occur in the early morning or during the night.
Another interesting fact—patients with sleep disorders tend to complain of more pain and request a higher level of pain medication.
