Symptoms of Sleep Disorders

5 Common Symptoms of Sleep Disorders

Occasionally, everyone has a bad night’s sleep, but recurring symptoms could point to a more serious underlying condition.

Common symptoms of sleep disorders include:

  • Snoring: While snoring can be caused by various factors, such as obesity or certain medications, it’s also a hallmark symptom of sleep apnea. This treatable yet serious condition disrupts breathing during sleep.
  • Difficulty Falling Asleep: Struggling to fall asleep within 30 minutes is one of the most common indicators of sleep disorders, including insomnia and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders.
  • Frequent Nighttime Awakenings: Waking up multiple times during the night can signal conditions like sleep apnea or anxiety-related disorders such as insomnia.
  • Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: Persistent tiredness during the day may indicate that you’re not getting the restorative sleep you need, often linked to sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or idiopathic hypersomnia.
  • Depression: Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and insomnia are also commonly associated with depression, which can also disrupt healthy sleep patterns.

Not sure if your snoring or tiredness could be something more serious? Try the STOP-BANG quiz on our Sleep Center webpage. This short questionnaire can help flag possible signs of obstructive sleep apnea, a first step toward better sleep and better health.

If these symptoms sound familiar, it may be time to consider a sleep study at Haskell Memorial Hospital.

“Even symptoms that might seem minor could signal a deeper issue,” said Heather Waters, BSRC, CRT, Director of the Haskell Memorial Hospital Sleep Center. “Our goal is to provide everyone in our community with the answers they need to achieve healthy sleep and lead healthier lives.”

At Haskell Memorial Hospital, our advanced sleep study can diagnose over 80 sleep disorders. Identifying and addressing these conditions can help you reclaim restful sleep and avoid serious health complications that often arise from untreated sleep disorders.

 Ask your primary care provider about a sleep study and schedule an appointment with Haskell Memorial Hospital’s Sleep Center.
