Common Causes and Risk Factors of Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders can lead to chronic fatigue, poor concentration, and other health complications. Understanding the causes can help with early intervention and treatment.
- Chronic stress or anxiety: Mental health conditions can disrupt sleep patterns and cause insomnia.
- Poor sleep hygiene: Irregular bedtimes, late-night screen use, and inconsistent routines can negatively affect sleep.
- Caffeine and alcohol consumption: Stimulants and depressants can interfere with the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
- Underlying medical conditions: Chronic pain, respiratory issues, and neurological disorders can contribute to sleep disturbances.
- Medication side effects: Certain prescriptions can cause drowsiness or insomnia.
- Excessive screen time before bed: Blue light from electronic devices suppresses melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep.
- Genetic predisposition: A family history of sleep disorders may increase the risk of developing them.

How can I tell if I have a sleep disorder or just occasional poor sleep?
It’s normal to have occasional nights of poor sleep, but a sleep disorder is characterized by persistent difficulties in falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested despite getting enough sleep. Signs of a sleep disorder may include excessive daytime sleepiness, frequent waking during the night, loud snoring or gasping for air, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes.
If sleep problems occur at least three times per week for an extended period and interfere with daily life, it may be a sign of a sleep disorder that requires medical evaluation.
