If you are spending enough time in bed and still wake up tired or feel very sleepy during the day, you may be one of the estimated 40 million Americans with a sleep disorder. The most common sleep disorders are insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep), sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep), restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy (extreme daytime sleepiness). Although sleep disorders can significantly affect your health, safety, and well-being, they can be treated. Talk to your doctor if you have any of these signs of a sleep disorder. You consistently take more than 30 minutes each night to fall asleep. You consistently awaken several times each night and then have trouble falling back to sleep, or you awaken too early in the morning.

You often feel sleepy during the day, you take frequent naps, or you fall asleep at inappropriate times during the day. Your bed partner says that when you sleep, you snore loudly, snort, gasp, make choking sounds, or stop breathing for short periods. You have creeping, tingling, or crawling feelings in your legs or arms that are relieved by moving or massaging them, especially in the evening and when trying to fall asleep.

Your bed partner notices that your legs or arms jerk often during sleep. You have vivid, dreamlike experiences while falling asleep or dozing. You have episodes of sudden muscle weakness when you are angry or fearful, or when you laugh.

Some things a person can do to improve sleep quality are:

- Avoid sleeping in when you have had enough sleep.
- Going to bed around the same time each night.
- Spending more time outside and being more active during the day.
- Reducing stress through exercise, therapy, or other means.
