A sleeping disorder is a serious medical condition

Many people think their sleep problem is just an annoyance, but people with sleep disorders are at risk for developing other conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes or heart problems. Sleep apnea, a disorder in which there are repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, can prevent the body from getting enough oxygen, cause excessive daytime fatigue and moodiness, and lead to stroke or heart failure if left untreated. Thankfully, the help provided by sleep specialists has very high rates of success.
