Sleep Disorders

Diagnosis and treatment for neurological sleep issues like insomnia, restless leg syndrome, REM sleep behavior disorder, and sleep apnea-related fatigue and cognitive issues.

Sleep: The Brain’s Recovery Time

Quality sleep is essential for brain health, emotional stability, and physical well-being. But for many people, getting a restful night’s sleep is a daily struggle. Sleep disorders are more than just occasional sleeplessness—they are medical conditions that can deeply affect your mood, memory, focus, and overall quality of life.

As a senior neurologist, Dr. Sushma Sharma specializes in the diagnosis and management of neurological sleep disorders, helping patients regain restful sleep and restore cognitive function.

Common Neurological Sleep Disorders Treated:

🛌 Insomnia

  • Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early
  • Often linked to anxiety, stress, depression, or underlying neurological conditions

🦵 Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

  • An uncontrollable urge to move the legs, especially at night
  • Often worsens during periods of rest and interferes with sleep

🧠 REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD)

  • Acting out dreams during REM sleep—may include shouting, kicking, or sudden movements
  • Often seen in neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s

😴 Sleep Apnea (Neurological-Linked Fatigue)

  • Though often diagnosed by pulmonologists, neurological effects of untreated apnea include daytime fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, and reduced alertness

🌀 Circadian Rhythm Disorders

  • Disruption in the body’s internal clock, leading to irregular sleep-wake patterns (e.g., shift work disorder, delayed sleep phase syndrome)

🌙 Hypersomnia & Narcolepsy

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden sleep attacks, or inability to stay awake even after adequate rest

When Should You See a Neurologist for Sleep Issues?

  • If you experience persistent insomnia
  • Unexplained daytime fatigue or brain fog
  • Involuntary leg movements or body jerks during sleep
  • Acting out dreams or unusual nighttime behaviors
  • Poor memory, attention, or mood changes related to sleep loss

Evaluation by Dr. Sushma Sharma:

Dr. Sharma offers a detailed assessment to uncover the root neurological cause behind sleep issues, which may include:

  • Detailed sleep history and symptom tracking
  • Neurological examination
  • Sleep diaries or actigraphy (wearable monitoring)
  • Referrals for polysomnography (sleep study) if needed
  • Brain imaging or blood tests to rule out related conditions
