Sleep problems negatively impact quality of life.

Productivity suffers, and the body cannot recover overnight. There may be problems with attention, mood, and even weight.

Insomnia can be caused by various factors.

For example, stress, anxiety or depression.

This statement was made by somnologist Irina Zavalko in a conversation with representatives of the publication “ Gazeta.Ru ”.

In addition, as the specialist explained, the problem can be caused by restless legs syndrome. In this case, unpleasant sensations appear in the lower extremities before sleep.

“Since the discomfort is reduced by active movements, patients are forced to either walk or simply move their legs in bed, which disrupts sleep,” the specialist explained.

Also, normal sleep physiology is disrupted by apnea syndrome, which can cause short pauses in breathing.

Previously, we talked about how sleep affects weight loss.
