WHAT IS SLEEP?
• Sleep is a transient state of altered consciousness and perceptual disengagement from one’s environment.
• It is a basic physiologic need state like hunger or thirst that is vital to human survival. Deprivation of sleep causes sleepiness, and as eating and drinking satisfies hunger or thirst, sleeping reverses sleepiness.
• Sleep is not merely “Time Out”. It is an active state essential for mental and physical restoration. Although we spend approximately 1/3 of our lives in sleeping state, little is known about sleep.
SLEEP DISORDERS
• Insomnia
• Snoring
• Restless Leg Syndrome
• Periodic Leg Movement Syndrome
• Night Terrors
• Cessation of Breathing during Sleep (Sleep Apnea)
• Baffling Sleep Disorder – Sleep Sex known as Sexomia The role of snoring as a potential medical problem should be taken seriously even when it is asymptomatic. Sleep changes occur from cradle to grave.
