Sleep disorders are conditions that prevent you from getting good quality, restful sleep. There are many types of sleep problems which may affect the quality, timing or duration of your sleep.
Sleep is essential for overall physical and mental wellbeing. It allows your body to repair and regenerate, helps consolidate memory, supports learning and problem-solving and plays a vital role in regulating mood and emotions.
Studies show that sleep deprivation can increase the risk for chronic disease, injuries, loss of productivity, poor mood and an increased risk of death. If you experience problems with your sleep, it’s important to seek help.
