Do You Have A Sleep Disorder?

Look over this list of common signs of a sleep disorder, and talk to your doctor if you have any of them:
  • It takes you more than 30 minutes to fall asleep at night.
  • You wake up often during the night and then have trouble falling back to sleep again.
  • You wake up too early in the morning.
  • You spend 7 or 8 hours or more sleep at night but often don't feel well rested.
  • You are sleepy during the day and fall asleep within 5 minutes if you have a chance to nap, or you fall asleep at inappropriate times during the day.
  • Your bed partner claims you snore loudly, snort, gasp, or make choking sounds while you sleep, or your partner notices your breathing stops for short periods.
  • You have creeping, tingling, or crawling feelings in your legs that are relieved by moving or massaging them, especially in the evening and when you try to fall asleep.
  • You have vivid, dreamlike experiences while falling asleep or dozing.
  • You have episodes of sudden muscle weakness when you are angry, fearful, or when you laugh.
  • You feel like you can't move when you first wake up.
  • Your bed partner tells you that your legs or arms jerk often during sleep.
  • You regularly need to use stimulants to stay awake during the day.


Also keep in mind that, although children can show some of these same signs of a sleep disorder, they often don't show signs of excessive daytime sleepiness.Instead, they may seem overactive and have difficulty focusing and concentrating. They also may have problems in school.
