Good sleep should be effective, meaning sufficient sleep for both body and mind. You should wake up feeling refreshed and alert, with your body relaxed because various muscles have been unwinded during sleep. However, if you feel you haven't rested enough, are tired, and drowsy during the day, you may be experiencing these symptoms while you're sleeping. Let's look at what those symptoms are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleepwalking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleepwalking occurs when the brain undergoes sudden changes during deep sleep; in other words, the person is in a semi-wakeful state, leading to reduced sleep quality. Other factors can also contribute to sleepwalking, including physical illness, stress, and certain diseases that disrupt sleep patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic troubleshooting steps<\/strong> In cases of severe sleepwalking, including those that negatively affect the person experiencing it, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leg twitching during sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Restless leg muscles during sleep are a condition in which the leg muscles twitch repeatedly in a rhythmic manner, often occurring during the night. NON-REM<\/a> Or, during the light to deep sleep phase, those with sleep apnea may wake up in the middle of the night, disrupting sleep flow and balancing the sleep cycle. This condition can occur at any age, but is most common in middle-aged and elderly individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic troubleshooting steps<\/strong> This includes eating healthy foods, avoiding caffeinated beverages, and using medication in cases of severe symptoms (but only after consulting a doctor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep apnea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleep apnea<\/a> Severe snoring is caused by a narrowing of the upper airway, sometimes so severe that it completely obstructs breathing. The brain senses this and signals the brain to increase breathing effort. This wakes the brain, causing the throat muscles to tense up and reopen the airway. This cycle repeats throughout the night, resulting in ineffective sleep, insufficient oxygen to the brain, and potentially life-threatening conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic troubleshooting steps <\/strong>Initially, modify your lifestyle and avoid sleep deprivation, or use a CPAP machine to help treat moderate to severe symptoms (consult a doctor first).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Good sleep should be effective, meaning sufficient sleep for both body and mind. You should wake up feeling refreshed and alert, with your body relaxed due to muscle relaxation during sleep. However, if you feel insufficiently rested, fatigued, and sleepy during the day, you may experience these symptoms while sleeping. Let's look at some of them: Sleepwalking: Sleepwalking occurs during deep sleep and involves sudden changes in the brain. During sleepwalking, the brain is in a semi-conscious state, reducing sleep quality. Other factors can also cause sleepwalking, including physical illness, stress, and certain diseases that disrupt sleep. For severe sleepwalking that negatively affects the sufferer, consult a doctor for further treatment. Restless leg muscles during sleep: Restless leg muscles are characterized by repetitive, rhythmic twitching of the leg muscles. This usually occurs during the non-REM sleep stage (light to deep sleep). This can cause sufferers to wake up in the middle of the night and disrupt sleep cycles, leading to an imbalance. This can occur in people of all ages, but is more common in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Initial solutions include eating a healthy diet, avoiding caffeinated beverages, and using medication in severe cases. (Medical consultation required) Sleep apnea is a condition caused by severe snoring resulting in narrowing of the upper airway, sometimes so severe that it completely obstructs breathing. The brain senses this and signals the brain to increase breathing effort, which wakes the brain to cause the throat muscles to tense up and reopen the airway. This cycle repeats throughout the night, leading to inefficient sleep, insufficient oxygen to the brain, and potentially life-threatening risks. Initial solutions include lifestyle changes and avoiding sleep deprivation, or using a CPAP machine for moderate to severe cases (medical consultation required).<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192700,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1352],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleeping"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1352,"label":"\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e02\u0e20\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sleep-disorder-behavior.jpg",1200,628,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"\u0e19\u0e1e.\u0e27\u0e23\u0e27\u0e31\u0e12\u0e19\u0e4c \u0e2a\u0e38\u0e27\u0e23\u0e23\u0e13\u0e23\u0e31\u0e01\u0e29\u0e4c","author_link":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/author\/dr-worawat-suwannaruxa\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":1352,"name":"\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e02\u0e20\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19","slug":"sleeping","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1352,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":34,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1352,"category_count":34,"category_description":"","cat_name":"\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e02\u0e20\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19","category_nicename":"sleeping","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17882"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":192920,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17882\/revisions\/192920"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nksleepcare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
