The primary sleep disorders include disturbance of breathing, frequent limb movements, difficulty getting to sleep (or staying asleep), and problems with chronic daytime sleepiness. In our busy lives, sleep is often treated as an inconvenient necessity, something that can be borrowed from to make room for increasing activities.
The treatment of sleep disorders requires a systematic, multidisciplinary approach to address all potential problems. The ideal solution begins with sleep becoming a higher priority in a person’s life, followed by a study and diagnosis of the problems affecting sleep, and finally by incorporating any treatments that improve sleep quality. Each person’s sleep problem may require a different set of therapeutic approaches, but the common elements for success include a client determined to find a solution, and a clinical team dedicated to making it happen. |
