Sleep Issues

Meaning

Sleep issues, a broad clinical category, encompass a spectrum of disturbances in the quantity, quality, timing, or efficiency of sleep, including conditions like insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, and circadian rhythm disorders. These disturbances are not merely lifestyle inconveniences; they represent a significant disruption to the neuroendocrine axes, profoundly impacting hormonal health, metabolic regulation, and cognitive function. Chronic sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality is a potent stressor that drives systemic inflammation and compromises the body’s restorative processes.
