The movements are involuntary and usually occur when you’re asleep.
PLMD is another disorder that affects your limbs and your ability to sleep. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, talk with his or her doctor. Older children may be sluggish, have trouble in school or even fall asleep in class. If your child snores, squeaks, has trouble breathing or is very restless during sleep, understand this is not normal and may be a sign of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea isn’t just a problem for adults.
Untreated sleep apnea can have serious effects, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, strokes and mortality. If you are experiencing these symptoms, don’t downplay them–make an appointment with your doctor. These problems can appear suddenly or over time. If you have sleep apnea it’s not uncommon to wake up with a headache and a dry mouth, to lose interest in sex or for men to experience erectile dysfunction. You may have sleep apnea if you experience trouble sleeping, awake frequently during the night, thrash about or be told you gasp for air during the night. In fact, people with sleep apnea are two to five times more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle accident than those who don't suffer from this disorder. Sometimes they fall asleep at inappropriate times, such as during work or while driving. They may have trouble concentrating, or become unusually forgetful, irritable, depressed or anxious. People with sleep apnea often complain of feeling very tired during the day. An estimated 18 million Americans have sleep apnea, a pause in breathing that’s 10 seconds or longer.
