Most people occasionally experience sleeping problems due to stress, hectic schedules, and other outside influences. However, when these issues begin to occur on a regular basis and interfere with daily life, they may indicate a sleeping disorder.
Between 50 and 70 million people in the United States have a sleep disorder, which ranges from insomnia to excessive daytime sleepiness. One third of adult Americans report sleeping less than 7 hours.
When sleep disorders aren’t caused by another condition, treatment normally involves a combination of medical treatment and lifestyle changes.
