Always tired or sleepy? You are not alone!
According to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders, 20 to 30 million Americans are plagued by excessive daytime sleepiness as a direct result of sleep apnea.
Sleep disorders have a far greater impact than just making you feel tired during the day. You may experience impaired concentration, loss of memory and coping skills; resentment from loved ones who are kept awake by your snoring and other sleep-related problems. If you have a sleep disorder, you may frequently fall asleep while driving, risking death and injury to yourself and others. Sleep disorders are known to increase the risk of many physical, emotional and social difficulties.
If you are experiencing signs or symptoms of a sleep disorder, Inova Health System offers Sleep Disorders Centers at both Inova Alexandria and Inova Fair Oaks Hospitals. These centers are dedicated to preventing and evaluating sleep-related disorders.
