Sleep Problem — Which Doctor Should I See?

Common sleep disorders include insomnia (difficulty falling/staying asleep), sleep apnea (breathing interruptions), restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy (excessive daytime sleepiness). Each requires different treatment approaches.

Consult a doctor if sleep issues persist for more than a few weeks, significantly affect your daily functioning, or are accompanied by other symptoms like loud snoring, gasping, or sudden weakness.

Maintain consistent sleep schedules, avoid caffeine/alcohol before bed, create a dark quiet bedroom, exercise regularly, and limit screen time. These lifestyle changes often help resolve mild sleep problems.
