General Information

Sleep is an integral component of daily life. It is useful for rest, repair, and growth of the body. Disturbances in sleep can lead to restlessness, anxiety, and associated mental and physical problems. Problems of sleep can arise from psychological (e.g., stress) or physical (e.g., apnea) causes. Other related problems include nightmares, sleep walking, and restless leg syndrome.
