Healthcare professionals, mental health professionals, and influencers have been shouting from the rooftops about the importance of getting 8 hours of sleep. Well, there has been enough, and more study was done on the importance of sleep, quality sleep, and sleep in the day and age we live.

Lancet conducted a study in India, which concluded that 5.4% of the population in the age bracket 30-69 face a moderate risk of sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder. However, the awareness around sleep challenges and disorders is disheartening; therefore, the importance of good sleep is also not taken seriously.

Another survey looked at the overall sleeping habits and the impact of various sleep patterns on the respondents’ well-being. Again, 81% agreed that poor sleeping habits can have a direct and adverse effect on the overall quality of life and that getting enough and more sleep is crucial to maintain one’s immunity. Those who struggled with sleep also said they experienced mood swings and difficulty concentrating.

TYPES OF SLEEP DISORDERS

The two most common sleep disorders are insomnia and sleep apnea, contributing to 90%-92% of overall sleep issues.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can make it difficult to fall back to sleep or stay asleep, affecting your mood and quality of life the following day. This can be due to stress or a traumatic event, and our experienced team of specialists are geared up to help you combat this problem with ease through comprehensive care and treatment. 

Sleep Apnea, or obstructive sleep apnea, is another sleep disorder where snoring is the main symptom. Snoring is considered a good sign but could also be a symptom of an underlying condition. For example, feeling extremely sleepy during the daytime, fatigue, and inability to concentrate all indicate poor sleep quality.
