WHAT TYPES OF SYMPTOMS ARE RELATED TO SLEEP DISORDERS?

Symptoms vary by sleep disorder. Most sleep disorders include one or more of the following symptoms:

• Fatigue
  
  
• Inability to fall asleep at night
  
  
• Inability to stay asleep at night
  
  
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
  
  
• Loud snoring or gasping sounds when you sleep
  
  
• “Sleep attacks,” loss of muscle control, or inability to move
  
  
• Unusual behaviours such as sleepwalking or sleep terrors

It is important to discuss any signs with your neurologist, because sometimes symptoms are caused by another medical condition.
