Center of somnology

Sleep is one of the most important functions of the body. It is during quality sleep that the body and brain recover, allowing a person to remain healthy and capable.

Sleep disorders are any conditions that disrupt the normal sleep pattern. Today, there are over 80 identified. The most common among them are insomnia and apnea. It is also important to distinguish between true disorders and insufficient sleep time, i.e., sleep deprivation. Only a specialist—a somnologist—can diagnose the cause and determine the treatment.

When to consult a Sleep Quality Center

Signs of sleep disorders may include the following:

• you often find it difficult to fall asleep, and sleep does not come for a long time
• you wake up several times each night, cannot fall back asleep, and find it hard to wake up in the morning
• you frequently feel drowsy during the day and tire easily
• you experience an unmotivated depressed mood and morning headaches
• your relatives say that you snore
• your family observes short pauses in your breathing during sleep
• you wake up feeling a lack of air, having shortness of breath
• you feel twitching in your legs, tingling, or "pins and needles"
