Common Signs of a Sleep Disorder

Look over this list of common signs of a sleep disorders, and
talk to your doctor if you have any of them:

1: It takes you more than 30 minutes to fall asleep at night.

2: You awaken frequently in the night and then have trouble falling back to sleep again.

3: You awaken too early in the morning.

4: You frequently don’t feel well rested despite spending 7–8hours or more asleep at night.

5: You feel sleepy during the day and fall asleep within 5 minutes if you have an
opportunity to nap, or you fall asleep at inappropriate times during the day.

6: Your bed partner claims you snore loudly, snort, gasp, or make choking sounds while you
sleep, or your partner notices your breathing stops for short periods.

7: You have creeping, tingling, or crawling feelings in your legsthat are relieved by moving
or massaging them, especially in the evening and when you try to fall asleep.

8: You have vivid, dreamlike experiences while falling asleep or dozing.

9: You have episodes of sudden muscle weakness when youare angry, fearful, or when you laugh.

10: You feel as though you cannot move when you first wake up.

11: Your bed partner notes that your legs or arms jerk often during sleep.

12: You regularly need to use stimulants to stay awake during the day.

13: Also keep in mind that, although children can show some of these same signs of a sleep
disorder, they often do not show signs of excessive daytime sleepiness. Instead, they may
seem overactive and have difficulty focusing and concentrating. They also may not do their
best in school.

Potentially life-saving tips for avoiding drowsy driving

1: Be well rested before hitting the road. If you have several
nights in a row of fewer than 7–8 hours of sleep, your reaction
time slows. Restoring that reaction time to normal often takes
more than 1 night of good sleep, because your sleep debt
accumulates after each night you lose sleep. It may take
several nights of being well rested to repay that sleep debt
and ensure that you are ready for driving on a long road trip.

2: Avoid driving between midnight and 7 a.m. Unless you are
accustomed to being awake then, this period of time is when
we are naturally the most tired.

3: Don’t drive alone. A companion who can keep you engaged
in conversation might help you stay awake while driving.

4: Schedule frequent breaks on long road trips. If you feel
sleepy while driving, pull off the road and take a nap for
15–20 minutes.

5: Don’t drink alcohol. Just one beer when you are sleep
deprived will affect you as much as two or three beers
when you are well rested.

6: Don’t count on caffeine. Although drinking a cola or a cup
of coffee might help keep you awake for a short time, it won’t
overcome excessive sleepiness or relieve a sleep debt.

7: Opening a window or turning up the radio won’t help you stay
awake while driving. Be aware of these warning signs that you
are too sleepy to drive safely: trouble keeping your eyes
focused, continual yawning, or being unable to recall driving the
last few miles. Remember, if you are short on sleep, stay out of
the driver’s seat!
