According to the National Sleep Foundation, quality sleep is critical for a person’s overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, most people are not getting the sleep that they need due to a variety of sleep disorders.
In fact, research shows that more than 40 million Americans suffer from a sleep disorder and most of those go undiagnosed and untreated. Quality Sleep Solutions can diagnose and treat a multitude of sleep disorders.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing while sleeping. The only way to get a true diagnosis is with a sleep study.
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. Most adults experience acute insomnia, lasting for a few days or weeks, due to stress, trauma, or other factors. However, in some cases, insomnia is chronic- lasting for a month or more.
Symptoms of insomnia include:
Insomnia may be a primary issue, a symptom of another issue, or the result of another medical condition or medication.

The most common symptoms of night terrors include:
