Sleep disorders

When people talk about sleep disorders, they tend to only think about not being able to fall asleep or being very tired during the day. But did you know that there are many more sleep disorders?

Restless legs at night, short-term breathing stops or heavy snoring are common sleep complaints that are not always considered. Reduced concentration, fatigue, irritation, tension complaints and gloominess are also symptoms that occur with sleeping problems.
Sleep problems occur at any age. Sleep complaints occur relatively frequently in the elderly, but it is also a major problem for young people. At least one in five young people suffers from sleeping problems. Young people can be moody, depressed, listless and suffer from mood swings.

Snoring

Snoring is a harsh or hoarse sound made while breathing. During normal breathing, air passes through the nasal cavity, pharynx and windpipe to the lungs. Snoring is caused by a narrowing in the airway between the entrance to the nose and the vocal cords.
