Most American adults don't get the recommended eight hours of sleep a night.
Lack of sleep can have short-term and long-term consequences.
If you're experiencing more than just lack of sleep, see a sleep doctor.
If you're unable to fall asleep at night, you might have insomnia. You might also have problems staying asleep, causing you to wake up frequently throughout the night. Occasional insomnia can be frustrating, but it is mostly not a health concern.
If you have to manage insomnia regularly, it may be time to see a sleep doctor.
If you are experiencing discomfort in your lower legs at night, it may be an indication of restless legs syndrome (RLS).
RLS is a condition that can cause discomfort anywhere in the body, but is most commonly associated with symptoms in the lower legs.
The goal of The Center for Sleep Medicine’s Fatigue Management Program is to: mitigate human fatigue caused by sleep disorders thereby reducing the probability of human-error caused incidents and accidents in an operational environment. Sleep disorders are common, but if they bring significant changes into your life, visit a sleep doctor in Chicago to diagnose your condition and get relief from your symptoms.
