If you have trouble getting a good night’s sleep, you are not alone. Millions of people have sleep problems.
Sleep issues may affect quality of life, causing fatigue and irritability. They may harm job performance, driving ability and marital relationships. Some sleep problems can be life-threatening. An example is sleep apnea, which may trigger high blood pressure, heart failure, heart attack and stroke.
