Sleep Disorders — When Rest Becomes a Struggle
Sleep is as essential as food and water. When sleep is consistently disturbed, the entire body suffers — mood, memory, immunity, and physical health all deteriorate. Sleep disorders are very common in India and very treatable, yet most people suffer in silence for years.
Poor sleep is one of the most common causes of brain fog🔍 Types of Sleep Disorders
- Insomnia — difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Sleep apnoea — breathing stops during sleep, causing loud snoring and daytime fatigue
- Hypersomnia — sleeping excessively even after adequate rest
- Circadian rhythm disorder — disrupted sleep-wake cycle
- Nightmares/Night terrors — recurring frightening dreams
- Sleepwalking — moving during sleep without awareness
- RLS — restless legs syndrome, uncomfortable urge to move legs at night
