A sleep disorder is defined as any problem with sleep that causes problems in one's waking hours. A sleep disorder may include difficulties in falling asleep, staying asleep or remaining awake. The most serious symptoms of sleep disorders are daytime sleepiness, excessive use of sleeping pills, nighttime chest pains, morning headaches, heavy snoring and breathing irregularities during sleep.

It is estimated that as many as 20-50 percent of the general population may suffer from a form of sleep disorder. Fortunately, once properly diagnosed, most sleep disorders are treatable.

Most sleep disorders can be effectively treated once they have been accurately diagnosed. Some conditions require medication. Others may require a change in daily habits and work schedules.
