When Sleep Problems Affect Your Day
Ongoing difficulty sleeping can affect how you feel and function during the day. If problems falling asleep or staying asleep are interfering with your ability to get the rest you need, a sleep evaluation may help determine whether an underlying sleep disorder is contributing to the problem.
