Sleep Disorders

Did you know that your thyroid gland may be responsible for sleep disturbances. I have found a very interesting post on www.medicalonly.com entitled “Can’t Get a Good Night’s Sleep?” which explains how this can be possible. An underactive thyroid slows down many of the body’s functions and results in a lack of energy, drowsiness and general weakness.

Sufferers could also experience obstructive sleep apnea which is another common side effect of thyroid problems. This informative article explains why this happens and how you can overcome the problem. If you do experience symptoms of tiredness and lack of energy that don’t seem to go away visit your doctor to rule out the possibility of an underactive thyroid
