ABC13 is helping you recognize symptoms of the most recognized sleep disorders and how to treat them so you can get a better night's rest.
Insomnia is the most commonly recognized sleep disorder, and ABC13 is helping you recognize its symptoms and how to treat them.Millions of Americans are living with a sleep disorder and don't even know it, according to a sleep expert.
That's great since Dr. Candice Alfano, a sleep expert and clinician at UH, says that while some folks can run on six to nine hours of sleep, the average adult needs seven. That can be tough, though, if you experience things like difficulty going to sleep, trouble staying asleep or waking up feeling as if you didn't get enough sleep."What happens in insomnia is that over time, people begin to do the wrong things to compensate for lack of sleep.
While there are medications for a "short-term" fix, Alfano says the best way to treat insomnia is by teaching the person how to sleep again. It's called "cognitive behavioral intervention," and you can start by limiting the time you spend in bed, awake.
