What are the causes of sleep disorders?

There are different causes of sleep disorders, including:

Sometimes, the cause is unknown.

How are sleep problems diagnosed?

First of all, you can fill in this health questionnaire, which will support the diagnosis provided to our patients by our specialists.

The study of patients with possible sleep disorders includes a medical history with a complete general physical examination, the administration of questionnaires and sleep diaries and the performance of a sleep study (respiratory polygraphy).

At Turó Park Clinics we offer a circuit of diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders through the study 24h with a portable monitor (ambulatory respiratory polygraphy). This is a test that is performed during the night at the patient's home, with a device that records nasal flow, snoring, thoracic-abdominal movements and blood oxygen concentration.

Design

For whom is a sleep study indicated?

Ambulatory polysomnography is indicated in people who present:

  • Insufficient or poor restorative sleep

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions about sleep disorders

When to worry about insomnia?

Insomnia becomes severe when the repercussions on the day are incapacitating: reduced vigilance with an increased risk of accidents, lack of concentration, reduced performance, drowsiness, lack of energy, fatigue and, often, a certain sadness.

Which plant to take for better sleep?

Chamomile is perhaps the plant with the best-known virtues for sleep. In particular, it calms the nervous agitation that affects falling asleep. Linden is the other star of the natural sleep aid because it has soothing and sedative properties.

What foods should be avoided in case of sleep disorders?

If you suffer from sleep disorders, reduce your consumption of tea and coffee, sodas and other sweet drinks, spicy food in the evening, but also alcohol and food that is too heavy to digest.
