How do we know when to seek professional help for insomnia?
We need to consult a sleep specialist from the first moment we detect symptoms such as:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness.
- Fatigue.
- Lack of concentration.
- Decreased sleep hours or excessive nighttime awakenings.
These symptoms, among others, may lead us to believe that we have a sleep disorder, so we should consult either sleep specialists or our primary care professionals for an initial consultation.
