Sleep Disorders
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Sleep disorders cover various disturbances in the ability to sleep well, whether due to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restful sleep. They influence energy, mood, and concentration during the day.
How they show up: insomnia, excessive daytime drowsiness, frequent awakenings, snoring, or a feeling of not having rested.
Associated factors: stress, habits before sleeping, certain health conditions, and breathing disturbances during sleep.
Which specialist evaluates them? The neurologist, the psychiatrist, and the physician specialized in sleep medicine can evaluate the case; for children the pediatrician is involved. If poor sleep becomes constant and affects your day, it is worth consulting about it.
