Do you understand sleep disorders?

Sleep disorders are a very common yet often overlooked clinical problem. 2006, a general population survey conducted by the Asia Pacific Sleep Society (APSS) in six cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu and Hangzhou, showed that the prevalence of sleep disorders was as high as 57%, with more than half of the symptoms lasting more than one year. Only 13% had ever talked to a doctor about sleep problems. Even if they feel that their daily functioning has been significantly affected, only 21% of them have ever sought medical attention for the problem. Doctors often neglect to learn about sleep when dealing with patients who suffer from headaches, dizziness, gastrointestinal distress, chest tightness, fatigue, high blood pressure, and so on. Patients do not tell, doctors do not ask. The World Health Organization survey shows that doctors fail to recognize half of the patients with insomnia. The recognition rate, correct diagnosis rate, and treatment rate of sleep disorders are all low.
