The Dangers of Unhealthy Sleep

For individuals whose sleep patterns are constantly interrupted, the brain doesn’t have a chance to complete its full rest cycle. This creates issues with fatigue, concentration and memory loss during the day. In addition, interrupted sleep due to conditions like sleep apnea can impact breathing and heart rate. Patients who have sleep conditions such as narcolepsy may be at risk for falling asleep or becoming excessively drowsy during times when being awake is vital, such as while driving.
