Quality sleep is a critical component of health and well-being, yet it often takes a backseat. Surprisingly, sleep disorders, including snoring and sleep apnea, affect about 1 in 3 people, leading to various health complications.

Sleep is essential for memory consolidation, immune function, and emotional regulation. Lack of sleep can impair cognitive abilities, making learning and concentration difficult. It also weakens the immune system, increasing susceptibility to illness. Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea, a condition often signaled by snoring and characterized by breathing interruptions during sleep, disrupt sleep patterns and overall health.

At Bumrungrad International Hospital, we recognize the profound impact of sleep disorders. Our Sleep Clinic offers comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans, utilizing cutting-edge technology and expert care.

To improve your sleep health, consider these tips:

Establish a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends.
Create a restful environment – dark, quiet, and cool.
Limit screen time and avoid caffeine before bedtime.
Practice relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing.
