Why is Quality Sleep Vital? Sleep Disorders and Solutions

We spend about a third of our lives asleep. Sleep, which we often see as a passive rest phase just to relieve the tiredness of the day, is actually an extremely active process in which our body renews itself at the cellular level, repairs the immune system and the brain processes information during the day.

Not getting enough and quality sleep doesn't just cause you to wake up tired in the morning; At the same time, it invites many health problems in the long term, from heart diseases to chronic fatigue, from focus problems to slowing metabolism.

Hidden Dangers That Reduce Your Sleep Quality

Insomnia and sleep apnea are among the most common sleep disorders in society. Sleep apnea, known as breathing arrest, especially during sleep, can pose life-threatening risks by reducing the amount of oxygen flowing to the brain.

If you wake up unrested no matter how much you sleep in the morning or if you experience constant drowsiness during the day, this may be a sign of an underlying neurological or respiratory problem.

Improving the physical conditions of your bedroom is the first step to creating a quality sleep routine. It is critical for the healthy secretion of melatonin hormone that the room is at the ideal dark and cool level, and that blue light (phone, tablet screen) contact is cut off at least one hour before bedtime.

However, if your sleep problems persist despite these environmental regulations, you may need to undergo a medical evaluation.

Definitive Diagnosis with Sleep Test (Polysomnography)

The definitive diagnosis of sleep disorders is made by sleep tests (Polysomnography) performed in fully equipped sleep laboratories. During this test, the brain's electrical activity, heart rhythm, respiratory functions, and muscle movements are recorded and examined in detail throughout the night.

• It is determined at which stage your sleep cycles are interrupted.
• Oxygen drop rates are detected in patients with suspected sleep apnea.
• With the correct diagnosis, a treatment plan is created to improve the patient's quality of life.

Don't let insomnia or poor quality sleep steal your life energy.
