What is sleep disorder, how to solve
sleep problem
What is Sleep Disorder?
Sleep is a biological process that every person must live every day in order to rest and
regenerate for their mental and physical health. Its main purpose is to provide rest for the body
and brain after tiring daily life. The fact that people start the day in a fit and rested state
indicates that they have a healthy sleep process.
In this process, if the body could not rest enough and the person starts the day tired, it is
necessary to suspect sleep disorders. Disorders that cause people to experience various
problems during the day due to not getting enough sleep and/or physiological events during
sleep are generally classified as "sleep disorders".
What Causes Sleep Disorder?
The causes of sleep disturbance can be very diverse. The inability of people to get enough
sleep or to spend the sleep process efficiently can be caused by many physiological or
psychological problems. These may be of genetic origin, due to the result of other underlying
diseases, due to inappropriate habits or due to causes called "idiopathic", that is, the cause of
which is unknown. Correct detection and treatment of these problems is of great importance.
What Are the Types of Sleep Disorders?
Insomnia:
Inability to fall asleep or stay asleep – is a sleep disorder characterized by frequent waking and
inability to fall back asleep. It may be due to genetics, improper sleep behavior disorder or
habits. It negatively affects the performance and quality of life of the person the next day, and
may cause problems in business and social life.
As it can be seen in all age groups, it is more common in adolescence and young ages. If it
continues for a long time and negatively affects daily life, not being able to sleep at night can be
defined as a sleep disorder.
Excessive Sleepiness - Hypersomnia:
As its name indicates, it is a disorder that manifests itself in the form of excessive need for sleep
and involuntary sleep states. The person needs more than 10-12 hours of sleep a day, and as a
result, his social and work life can be damaged. The further dimension of this disorder is called
Narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder with genetic origins, which is seen as sudden and
uncontrollable sleep attacks. In situations such as excitement, anxiety, fear, and laughter,
muscle discharge as if the knees are loosened, dreaming while awake, nightmares, waking up
from sleep as if paralyzed, can be counted among the common symptoms. Individuals can fall
asleep wherever they are, even in the most inopportune situations.
Serious academic problems in school-age children and teenagers,
Sleep Respiratory Disorders:
In addition to snoring, cessation of breathing during sleep, night sweats, frequent awakenings
(mostly for toilet needs), people complain of meaningless fatigue and sleepiness during the day.
Under these conditions, there are pauses in breathing during sleep and the surface of breathing.
It is also known as apnea disease.
They create problems in social and business life, as well as cause fatal accidents and
life-threatening diseases. For this reason, it is a group of diseases that must be diagnosed and
treated when necessary.
Periodic Limb Movement Disorder During Sleep:
The discomfort that occurs as a gradually increasing discomfort, restlessness, withdrawal,
contraction, and desire to move, especially in the legs and less frequently in the arms, towards
the hospitalization time is called "restless legs syndrome".
Another sleep limb movement disorder is a disorder that manifests itself with involuntary
periodic contractions of the feet during the night. No matter how long the patients sleep, when
they wake up in the morning, they still wake up feeling restless and sluggish. In this group,
almost all complaints of insomnia patients can be observed.
Sleep Phase Shift:
It is a disorder related to the timing of sleep. It occurs when the biological sleep-wake clock
setting within us is incompatible with our social life clock setting. Individuals with a sleep phase
shift are sleepy during the hours they should be awake (such as school, work) and awake
during the hours they should sleep (midnight), disrupting the needs of social life.
This discomfort is generally defined by the expression "does not go to bed in the evening - does
not get up in the morning". Sometimes it can be hereditary. It is a common condition in shift
workers, individuals with irregular sleep habits, and the elderly who sleep a lot during the day.
Periodic Limb Movement Disorder During Sleep:
It is a disorder that manifests itself with involuntary periodic contractions in the feet, sometimes
during the night, which is called "restless legs syndrome", which manifests itself as an
increasing discomfort, restlessness, withdrawal, contraction, and desire to move, especially in
the legs and less frequently in the arms, towards the bedtime. No matter how long the patients
sleep, when they wake up in the morning, they still feel restless and sluggish. In this group,
almost all complaints of insomnia patients can be observed.
What are the Symptoms of Sleep Disorder?
● The main sleep disorder symptoms are listed as follows:
● inability to sleep
● excessive sleepiness
● Snore
● breathing pauses during sleep
● night sweats
● Don't go to the toilet often
● Dry mouth and nasal congestion during sleep
● Reflux – bitter and sour stomach liquids coming to the mouth during sleep
● Waking up tired, daytime tiredness and drowsiness
● Forgetfulness, malaise, lack of concentration, irritability, sexual reluctance
How is Sleep Disorder Diagnosed and Treated?
Sleep disorder treatment begins with determining the correct diagnosis and the underlying
cause of this disorder. Making the correct diagnosis is the basis of an effective treatment. In
some cases, it is sufficient to question the history of the person's complaints, which we call
"anamnesis", to make the diagnosis, while in some cases laboratory tests and / or sleep tests
should be applied.
As a treatment, the first thing to do is to reconsider the health sleep behaviors and correct the
mistakes in this regard. Apart from this, it may be possible to sleep with respirators that provide
drug therapy and / or compressed air therapy.
What is Polysomnography (Sleep Test)?
Polysomnography (Sleep Test), which is the gold standard in the diagnosis of sleep disorders, is
routinely applied in the Sleep Laboratory of our hospital.
Polysomnography is the name of the test that makes it possible to measure various activities of
the brain and body during sleep. With this method, it is possible to determine whether there are
many sleep problems and if there is a disorder,
it is possible to determine the degree. During polysomnography, the patient's brain waves,
heartbeat, eye movements, chest and abdominal breathing movements, the sounds he makes
while sleeping, the oxygen rate in the blood and the lying position are monitored and recorded
by special devices along with video images. Patients do not feel any pain during this test. The
sensors (electrodes) placed on the body do not prevent changing the lying position, getting out
of bed, or going to the toilet.
Sleep technician and/or nurses who monitor patients through the night on monitors in the
adjacent laboratory control room, helps patients in case of need and ensures that the test is
carried out in a healthy way. Information about the test results and necessary guidance are
given within 24-72 hours.
