Not getting a good night’s sleep can leave you feeling moody or irritable the next day. But what happens if you experience sleep problems for several nights in a row? Being constantly fatigued may not be the only change you notice –– you may also start to feel an impact on your mental health.
Sleep issues may be a sign of a psychotic disorder, such as bipolar disorder. Mental health issues, however, can also lead to or be made worse by poor sleep patterns. Some of the more common mental health disorders that have been linked to sleep include:

We all hit that 2 p.m. wall from time to time –– your coffee wears off or that big lunch kicks in and you’re fighting the urge to nap. Now imagine that feeling all the time, regardless of your caffeine or food intake. Hypersomnia is a condition that results in excessive daytime sleepiness (or EDS). This means that almost regardless of what you are doing, such as working or driving, you may find it nearly impossible to avoid falling asleep.
This won’t just affect your work output. Hypersomnia can also wreak havoc on your critical thinking abilities, as well as your overall energy levels.
Many factors can contribute to hypersomnia, including:
If your doctor has cited sleep apnea as the root cause behind your hypersomnia, My CPAP Club can help. Sleep apnea is a condition that refers to difficulty breathing while you are asleep. This can lead to interruptions in your sleep patterns that you may not even remember, leaving you feeling tired during the day.
Even if you’re tired and ready to go to sleep for the night, your body may not cooperate by showing signs of restless legs syndrome (RLS) or periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD). RLS is a neurological disorder that causes your legs and other limbs to feel the need to move. Some patients describe it as pins and needles, which can be made worse when you are sitting or lying down. Even though it can come and go, RLS is often the most disruptive at night –– and can result in so much sleep deprivation that it starts to drastically impact your quality of life.
On the other hand, PLMD is movement or cramping in your legs while you are asleep. It is referred to as periodic because it generally occurs one to three times every minute. PLMD has been linked to RLS, and has also resulted in the loss of sleep.
It is not known what causes either disorder, although PLMD and RLS have been linked to the following:
If other sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, are to blame for your PLMD or RLS, My CPAP Club can help.
