Sleep disorders may take on many forms. Some disorders keep you from falling asleep. Others make you overly tired and fatigued during the day. Sleep disorders can also cause symptoms such as morning headaches, high blood pressure, memory problems, or even depression. A good night's sleep is important to your health and well being. While the majority of sleep problems are not life threatening, some can result in serious medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and even death. Successful treatment of a sleep disorder can give you a better quality of life. The Sleep Center of Southern Colorado can help seniors, adults and children in diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
