Sleep Facts
Sleep isn’t just time out from life. It’s an active state that’s important for renewing our mental and physical health every day. Adequate sleep is essential for our overall well-being and good health. It can affect every aspect of our life. More than 100 million Americans of all ages, however, regularly fail to get a good night’s sleep.
Symptoms
At least 84 sleeping disorders lead to a lower quality of life and diminished health. They endanger public safety by contributing to traffic and industrial accidents. These disorders can lead to difficulties in falling and staying asleep, staying awake or maintaining a regular sleep/wake cycle. Sleepwalking, bed-wetting, nightmares and other problems also can interfere with sleep. If left untreated, they can lead to more-severe health risks, such as hypertension and heart problems, and can even be life-threatening.
Signs and symptoms of a sleep disorder include morning headaches and nausea, memory loss, frequent nighttime urination, depression and high blood pressure.
