Estimates suggest that 90% of those with sleep disorders are not diagnosed or treated. Some of the reasons for this include -

Most of us, do not know anything about the value of sleep and its implication for our health.

If we do have a sleep problem, we discount it (everybody’s busy, everybody’s tired).

Or you may be like the person who has been treating symptoms for 25 years, but has never been diagnosed to determine the root of the sleep problem.

More importantly, we don’t tell our physicians about our sleep problems.

If you don’t tell, it’s likely that your physician won’t ask either. The ‘sleep question’ has yet to become a regular part of a medical evaluation.

As a result, people remain undiagnosed and untreated.
