Sleep Disorders

Good sleep is necessary for optimal health and can affect hormone levels, mood and weight.

Common sleep problems, including snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, sleep deprivation, and restless legs syndrome. The most important sleep disorder that often (not always) presents with snoring is sleep apnoea, which if left undiagnosed and untreated can be life threatening.

The other prominent sleep related condition is narcolepsy which consists of the triad of catalepsy (sudden loss of muscle tone), excessive daytime drowsiness and sleep paralysis).

The most common sleep related problem in clinical practice is stress induced sleep dysfunction, people with mental health symptoms having difficulty in getting to sleep or staying asleep.

More complex problems of sleep include REM sleep behaviour disorder (seen in Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions), in which there is florid acting out of dreams, epilepsy and/or panic disorder in sleep, hypnagogic & hypnopompic hallucinations and vivid dreams.

Sleep difficulties are linked to both physical and emotional problems. Sleep problems can both contribute to or exacerbate mental health conditions and can be a symptom of other mental health conditions. About one-third of adults report insomnia symptoms and around 8% percent meet the criteria for insomnia disorder.

Signs & Symptoms

There are many ways to help diagnose sleep disorders. Doctors can usually treat most sleep disorders effectively once they’re correctly diagnosed. Symptoms of sleep disorders include:
  • Initial insomnia (inability to get off to sleep, lying awake for long periods)
  • Middle insomnia (going off to sleep but awakening after a 2-3 hours and staying awake for a long period before there is some return to sleep again)
  • Terminal insomnia (early awakening after a few hours of sleep with inability to go back to sleep)
  • Excessive snoring
  • Walking and/or talking in sleep
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness

Diagnosis

While the diagnosis is clinical, at Buddhi Clinic we use a combination of brain imaging, electrophysiology and blood tests to rule out reversible causes or other contributing factors. We also prescribe a thorough pre-rehabilitation assessment including an evaluation for co-morbidities (associated conditions) which will be required in all instances. At Buddhi Clinic our assessment includes standard outcome indicators for activities of daily life, quality of life, neuro-disability and mental health.
