Sleep is essential for our health and well-being. It helps us recover and recharge after a long day and is necessary for our physical and mental health. However, for some people getting a good night’s sleep can be a challenge. Sleep disorders are common and can affect people of all ages, genders and lifestyles. With the help of Seer Medical, we can know the different types of sleep disorders and their symptoms.
Insomnia
Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder affecting about 30% of adults worldwide. People with insomnia have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep and they may wake up too early and feel tired during the day. Insomnia can be acute lasting a few days or weeks or chronic lasting for months or even years. The symptoms of insomnia include difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently during the night, waking up too early, feeling tired upon waking, feeling irritable or moody and having difficulty concentrating.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. The two types of sleep apnea are obstructive sleep apnea which is caused by a blockage in the airway and central sleep apnea which is caused by a problem with the brain’s signals to the muscles that control breathing. The symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat and having difficulty concentrating.
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

The symptoms of RLS include aching, burning or crawling sensations in the legs, an uncontrollable urge to move the legs and difficulty sleeping due to the symptoms.
