Other signs you may notice include falling asleep during the day and not feeling rested when you wake up in the morning. Treatment of sleep apnea involves keeping the airway open during sleep. This may include: Having a sleep study to check how your breathing changes during sleep Weight loss Avoiding alcohol Using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine to open the airway during sleep Narcolepsy Narcolepsy is having a hard time staying awake during the day. A person with narcolepsy may suddenly fall asleep during an activity. Treatment involves taking medicine to help you stay awake during the daytime.

Sleepwalking Sleepwalking is any activity like walking that is done while a person is asleep. The person often does not remember the activity.

Talk to a doctor if there are safety concerns with sleepwalking or if it occurs often. Restless Leg Syndrome Restless leg syndrome is leg discomfort often felt at night. The discomfort may feel like a creeping sensation, which only gets better by moving the legs. Restless leg syndrome may cause insomnia and daytime sleepiness.

You can also try reducing stress, taking warm baths, massage and stretching exercises to help your muscles relax. Medicine may be prescribed to help discomfort if sleep is greatly disturbed. Talk to your doctor if you have signs of a sleep problem. Your doctor may talk to you about ways to manage your problem or order a sleep study.

Sonambulismo El sonambulismo es cualquier actividad, como caminar, que se realiza mientras una persona está dormida. Generalmente, la persona no recuerda la actividad. Despertar a un sonámbulo no es peligroso, pero mientras este deambula puede lesionarse. Evite que un sonámbulo se lesione, por ejemplo, bloqueando las escaleras con una puerta y quitando objetos para prevenir tropiezos. Si está preocupado por la seguridad durante el sonambulismo o si este ocurre con frecuencia, hable con un médico. Síndrome de las piernas inquietas El síndrome de las piernas inquietas es una molestia en las piernas que generalmente se siente en la noche. La molestia puede sentirse como una sensación de escalofríos, que solo se alivia moviendo las piernas. Este síndrome puede provocar insomnio y somnolencia durante el día. No existe una causa o cura conocida para el síndrome de las piernas inquietas. Hable con su médico sobre las maneras de controlar el problema. También puede intentar reducir el estrés, tomar baños calientes, recibir masajes y hacer ejercicios de estiramiento para ayudar a que sus músculos se relajen. Se pueden recetar medicamentos para aliviar las molestias si estas perturban mucho el sueño. Hable con su médico si tiene signos de un problema del sueño. Su médico puede hablarle sobre las formas de controlar su problema o indicarle un estudio del sueño. Un estudio del sueño es un registro de 6 a 8 horas de su actividad cerebral, frecuencia cardíaca, movimientos de las piernas, niveles de oxígeno y respiración mientras duerme durante la noche. 2008 1/2012 Health Information Translations Unless otherwise stated, user may print or download information from www.healthinfotranslations.org for personal, non-commercial use only.
