In the 2013 National Sleep Foundation’s Bedroom Poll, 53
percent of Americans polled said they slept less than seven hours a night. 44
percent of those polled said they do not regularly get a good night’s sleep, even
on weekends, and a shocking 25 percent claim to never get a full night’s rest.
While anxiety or stress can keep even the most sound sleeper
awake every once in a while, chronic sleeping problems are often the result of
something more sinister. Some of these sleep disturbances may be caused by a
spouse or partner’s loud snoring,
others may be a result of disorders such as sleep apnea. No
matter what the cause, failure to get a good night’s sleep over a long period
of time can have a profound impact on your mental and physical wellbeing.
Fortunately, there are a number of options for people who
suffer from chronic sleeping disorders. Talking to your doctor about your sleep
problems is the first step in finding a solution that is tailored to meet your
specific needs and help restore a full and restful night’s sleep.
