Sleep Disorders

At Mind Scan, we recognize that sleep issues are often deeply connected to mental health. Whether you're struggling with insomnia, oversleeping, or disturbed sleep due to stress or anxiety, we provide compassionate, science-backed solutions to help you restore your natural sleep rhythm.

Common Types of Sleep Disorders

• Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and feeling unrefreshed.
• Sleep Apnea: Interrupted breathing during sleep, leading to frequent awakenings and daytime fatigue.
• Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): An urge to move the legs, usually in the evening, making it hard to fall asleep.
• Narcolepsy: Sudden, uncontrollable episodes of daytime sleepiness, often with muscle weakness.
• Parasomnias: Unusual behaviors during sleep like sleepwalking, nightmares, or night terrors.
• Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Sleep-wake cycles that are misaligned with natural day-night patterns (e.g., shift work disorder, delayed sleep phase).

Symptoms to Watch For

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Feeling tired even after a full night’s sleep
• Loud snoring or gasping during sleep
• Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
• Poor focus or memory problems
• Falling asleep during the day without warning
• Headaches upon waking

Sleep disorders are not just about tiredness-they can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, and overall health.

Causes of Sleep Disturbances

Sleep disorders can be triggered by:

• Stress and anxiety
• Depression or trauma
• Chronic pain or medical conditions
• Poor sleep habits (screen time, caffeine, irregular schedule)
• Medications or substance use
• Neurological imbalances

Identifying the root cause is key to effective, long-term treatment.
