Sleep Deprivation Presents a Serious Health Risk

Sleep deprivation is a very serious health problem. Most of us think that if we don’t sleep well one night, we’ll make it up by sleeping in the next morning, or catch up the next night. But if you are repeatedly deprived of sleep, the situation can be far more serious than you realize.

Sleep deprivation can cause confusion and a reduction in your ability to focus and perform tasks. Much like driving under the influence, trying to function while deprived of sleep can be dangerous. Up to 20% of accidents on the roads are related to sleep disorders. Studies have also shown increased incidence of Diabetes, Hypertension (high blood pressure) Heart Disease and Stroke related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Not only does sleep deprivation affect your ability to focus and stay on task, it also affects your body’s functions.  Problems with sleep can disrupt hormone production and change your body’s chemical balance.

If you suspect that you may be experiencing sleep deprivation, you should take action to determine the cause of your sleep problems and seek treatment. The first step is to consult your physician. He/She may then refer you to have a sleep study. During a sleep study, you’ll check into a clinic that uses state-of-the-art equipment to help study your sleep cycles.

Sleep centers, such as our Beverly Hills / Century City CA sleep center, offer patients comfortable rooms with quiet surroundings. Our goal is for you to have a “typical” night sleep. During your stay at our Beverly Hills CA sleep center, our technicians will monitor your sleep cycles through a series of electronic monitoring devices. During the night, your breathing patterns, brain waves, muscle movement, and body movements are tracked.

The information gathered helps your physician determine whether you are experiencing sleep problems. People experience a variety of sleep disorders that prevent them from sleeping well each night, including: sleep apnea, snoring, restless leg syndrome, periodic leg  movements disorder and insomnia. Some patients experience more than one sleep disorder.

At our Beverly Hills / Century City CA sleep center, we’ll work with you to find out what is contributing to your sleep or lack of it.   There are a number of treatments that a qualified physician can recommend to help you resolve your sleep disorders. You’ll be amazed at the difference a healthy and restorative sleep makes in your life. Good sleep can make a difference to your health, your disposition, and your lifestyle.
