Common Sleep Disturbances
- Insomnia – Difficulty falling or staying asleep. Insomnia is considered one of the most common sleep disorders, affecting daily functioning and overall health.
Symptoms:
- Trouble falling asleep at night
- Waking up frequently during the night
- Feeling tired or unrested after sleep
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
Insomnia disorders disrupt the sleep-wake cycle, making it hard to get enough quality sleep. A sleep diary can help track patterns and diagnose insomnia effectively.
- Sleep Apnea – A serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway obstruction or other issues, such as when you stop breathing or gasp for air.
Symptoms:
- Loud snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Frequent pauses in breathing
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
Sleep apnea is often diagnosed through a sleep study and can be treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, which helps maintain a superior quality of sleep by keeping airways open.
- Restless Legs Syndrome – A neurological condition and another common sleep disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, typically due to uncomfortable sensations.
Symptoms:
- Tingling or crawling sensations in the legs
- Relief through movement, such as walking or stretching
- Symptoms worsen in the evening or at night
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep due to discomfort
Restless legs syndrome can significantly affect sleep and requires treatment to improve both physical and mental health.
How Sleep Disorders Affect Overall Health and Mental Well-being
Sleep disorders diagnosed in patients can significantly affect physical and mental health. Poor sleep quality is linked to chronic medical conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease due to disruptions in hormone regulation and metabolic balance.
Mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression, often worsen with sleep deprivation, as the brain struggles to process emotions and retain information. Without enough sleep, individuals may experience difficulty waking, impaired memory, and reduced daily functioning. Restorative sleep is vital for disease control, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
Personalized Treatment Options
- Lifestyle Modifications
For many, lifestyle changes can help treat insomnia and improve sleep problems. Stick to a consistent schedule, reduce screen time before bed, and avoid naps during the day. Managing stress with mindfulness, yoga, or deep breathing can enhance sleep quality and mental health. A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains supports both physical and mental health.
- Medication Options
Medications may be helpful for short periods when lifestyle changes aren’t enough to treat insomnia or other sleep disorders. These should always be used under a doctor’s guidance to avoid habit-forming behaviors or side effects. Medications are often prescribed for insomnia symptoms, but primary care physicians will monitor treatment to ensure it’s part of a comprehensive health journey.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an evidence-based treatment that helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors disrupting their sleep. It focuses on creating healthier sleep habits and improving overall sleep quality without relying on medication.
Patient-Centered Care
At Revamed, we prioritize patient-centered care, focusing on the individual needs of all our patients to deliver personalized and effective healthcare solutions.

Along with internal medicine expertise, we strive to make healthcare accessible and empower patients to stay awake and alert during the day by improving their sleep quality at night.
Our primary care providers collaborate with patients to determine how much sleep is appropriate, understanding that most adults require 7-9 hours, whereas older adults may need slightly less sleep to feel rejuvenated.
