Risks of Poor Sleep

Sleep Center"It is estimated that 30 to 40 million Americans suffer from serious sleep disorders. If gone untreated sleep disorders can significantly increase a person's risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and accidents," says Robert Cox, MD, board-certified sleep sepcialist. "Also, sleep loss is known to affect mood and concentration levels to the point where performing daily tasks can be extremely stressful and possibly lead to depression."

"Unfortunately, many sleep disorders go undiagnosed, and people suffer needlessly from sleep loss because they don't know they need medical attention," he says.
