Experts recommend a minimum\nof seven to eight hours of sleep per night for most adults; a lack of sleep can\naffect your hormone levels, mood, weight and work or school performance and may\nresult in physical, mental, social and emotional problems. Reaching that goal\nis difficult for many, thanks to the growing prevalence of sleep disorders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s a Sleep Disorder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep disorders are conditions that prevent you from\nsleeping well on a regular basis. They are very common, affecting an estimated\n75 percent of Americans on a regular basis. There are more than 100 different\ntypes of sleep disorders; the most common are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Snoring.<\/li><li>Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).<\/li><li>Central sleep apnea (CSA).<\/li><li>Insomnia.<\/li><li>Narcolepsy.<\/li><li>Parasomnia (abnormal movements and behavior\nduring sleep).<\/li><li>Hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness).<\/li><li>Restless leg syndrome.<\/li><li>Circadian rhythm disorders.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms vary depending on the type of sleep disorder and\nhow severe its impact. A majority of patients report difficulty falling or\nstaying asleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, lack of concentration,\nmemory loss, and depression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep apnea is the most\ncommon sleep disorder that affects one in 15 Americans, with most cases\nundiagnosed. It occurs when a person experiences one or more pauses in\nbreathing or shallow breathing while asleep. These pauses can last a few\nseconds to a few minutes. Generally, breathing begins again and is sometimes\naccompanied by snorting or choking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diagnosis &amp; Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnosing and treating a sleep disorder is important in\npreventing more serious health problems from occurring. Most patients will need\nto undergo a polysomnography (sleep study), conducted in a sleep lab or at\nhome. Other tests, such as an electroencephalogram and genetic blood testing,\ncan be useful in a diagnosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With such a large number of recognized sleep disorders,\nthere are many different causes. These include allergies and colds, chronic\ndiseases, pain, stress and anxiety, work schedule and more. Treatment depends\non the condition itself, but typically involves a combination of medications\nand lifestyle changes. Surgery may be an option for certain breathing-related\ndisorders, such as snoring or OSA. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Oregon Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Center<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+15417797331\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(541) 779-7331<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sleep is vital for good health.
