If you think you're getting enough rest at night but feel tired during the day, it is advisable to visit your doctor. Excessive tiredness can be caused by many health problems, not only by difficulties with sleep.
If the doctor suspects that you suffer from a sleep disorder, we will test and analyze your overall health sleep habits. Besides the physical examination, the doctor will make a history or medical history: I ask about other concerns and symptoms you have, a condition that you had in the past, your family medical history, medications you are taking, any allergies you have and other issues. You may also ask you tests and studies to diagnose medical conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, which may be interfering with your sleep.
Different sleep problems are treated differently. Some disorders can be treated with medication while others are treated with special techniques such as light therapy (the patient sits in front of a light box for a certain period of time every day), or other practices that can help correct the internal clock of each person.
Doctors also encourage teens to adopt changes in their lifestyles to promote good sleep habits. Surely you know that caffeine keeps you awake, but did you know that playing video games or watching TV before going to sleep may have the same effect?
