Sleep Disorders can be Contargious

As far as married couples are concerned, seeing that your partner is suffering from a sleep disorder may lead to you having the same problem as well. Just picture the image of you having to live with your partner’s snoring or being awake at the improper times of the night. Normally, couples would want their partners by their side so that they can sleep soundly. Now if the case comes that they are not for one reason or another, chances are they will not be able to sleep.

This is only one scenario. Now consider a health-related one when your partner has breathing problems that deprive them sleep. Altogether, you will find an indirect reason for a couple to have a sleep disorder and once that happens, sleep becomes much longed for and becomes utterly contagious.

For those whose severe sleep disorders cause them health problems and may even be putting their lives at risk, a visit to a specialist sleep clinic could be their only hope of a cure. Lack of sleep has serious effects on the body and the brain. It impedes concentration, causes mood swings and over time inhibits the immune system.

Justin Chambers

Being in the showbiz industry can take its toll on you and such is the problem that Grey’s Anatomy star Justin Chambers confessed. Apparently, this was the result of his battle with exhaustion, something that he described as a biological sleep disorder.

It is safe to say that a lot of us suffer from the same problem even though we are not aware of it. In our minds, we feel we can go the distance without sleep. As they say, you can sleep a lot when you grow old. But while you are in the prime of your life make the most of it.

But the matter of health is also a matter to be considered. Remember that we are not robots. We are humans and our internal organs need sufficient rest in the form of sleep to be able to withstand the various rigors of a competitive life.

Chambers tells People magazine, “I suffer from a biological sleep disorder. Your body is tired but your mind keeps racing. You lie down and then you get up and pace, and then you lie down but you can’t fall asleep.

“It’s like a dog chasing its tail. You get to your wits’ end. I went a good two months without really sleeping.

“So a specialist I had been working with referred me to UCLA. They gave me (medication) in a private room with a connection to the outside, and I slept. Two days there was perfect.”

Lack of Sleep

Some may call it weird or others because of their jobs. But there are people who may be awake at times when the rest of the world is sleeping. Why is this so? A lot is caused by the fact that they have to or because they have accustomed themselves to sleep in different time zones. Some relate it to work while others just have difficulty regulating the proper time to sleep.

People are often too proud to acknowledge that they have a sleep disorder. They believe that they can get through it by conditioning themselves to sleep in the right hours of sleeping. But for other people, even if when they are in bed, they cannot immediately sleep. Chances are they have to find a good position to lull themselves to doze off. If that isn’t a sleeping disorder then perhaps all people will be suffering the same thing.

But the thing is we are not professionals who can conclude anything. The need for sleep specialists has to be solicited. Some may have apprehensions but if you truly value sleep, then it would be best to eat our pride and get the help we really need.


How are sleep disorders diagnosed?
If a sleep disorder is suspected, your healthcare provider may refer you to our sleep clinic for an evaluation by our sleep specialists. Our doctors will perform a medical examination, carefully review your medical history, and may order other tests to determine any physical problems that may be causing a sleep disorder. You may also be asked to keep a sleep diary.

Sleep Disorders

We often find ourselves having to stay up late due to parties, work and worries. But while we do not value them that much, does it follow that sleep disorders are not far behind?

Apparently, one of the hard problems we have to deal with today is properly. Unless you are a sleep expert, chances are you may already have a serious sleep disorder but are still in denial. Sleep problems exist today and it really does not hurt to find out if you are indeed suffering from a sleep disorder. Improper diagnosis may eventually lead you to serious problems that you think.

Just bear these things in mind:

Do you . . .

  • feel irritable or sleepy during the day?
  • have difficulty staying awake when sitting still, such as when watching television or reading?
  • fall asleep sometimes while driving?
  • have difficulty paying attention or concentrating at work, school, or home?
  • perform below your potential in work, school, or sports?
  • often get told by others that you look tired?
  • have difficulty with your memory?
  • react slowly?
  • have emotional outbursts?
  • feel like taking a nap almost every day?
  • require caffeinated beverages to keep yourself going?

    GLOtoSleep Masks

    The Oscars may have been finished and not all favorite actors or actresses came home as the winner. But as a form of consolation, most of the actors didn’t go home empty-handed. Most of them were given a special sleeping mask, the GLOtoSleep masks, to help assist them in sleep disorder problems that most may be suffering from.

    It is a fact that most of these celebrities has had to deal with the said sleeping problems, bulk of which were caused by the excitement of possibly winning in the 2008 Oscars. While many had sleepless nights, for the celebrities with recurring sleep problems, this gift is indeed something worthy to help get back to their normal courses of sleep.

    Recipients of an ongoing good nights sleep, courtesy of the GLOtoSLEEP™ mask, were Best Actor Nominees: George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Tommy Lee Jones, and Viggo Mortensen; Best Supporting Actor Nominees: Casey Affleck, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Hal Holbrook and Tom Wilkinson; Best Supporting Actress Nominees: Cate Blanchett, Julie Christie, Laura Linney and Ellen Page and Best Actress Nominees: Ruby Dee, Saoirse Ronan and Amy Ryan. Cate Blanchett will get a ‘doubly’ good night’s rest, as she received two masks for being nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Directors Julian Schnabel, Jason Reitman, Tony Gilroy and Paul Thomas Anderson, as well as host Jon Stewart, are also in for a season of restful mellowness as recipients of GLOtoSLEEP™.
