Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Poor Sleep Could Be Caused By These Health Problems
Caption: Your Poor Sleep Could Be Caused By These Health Problems. According to the American Psychological Association, one-third of adults in the United States sleep less than they should. Sleep experts recommend 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Even those who get optimal amounts of sleep may be plagued by daytime fatigue. If you're feeling tired even after a long night of sleep, you might be suffering from one of these conditions. 1. Anxiety. Sufferers of anxiety have increased chances of experiencing a disturbance in their sleep. In many cases, the problem isn't falling asleep, but rather waking up in distress. 2. Arthritis. More than 80% of people with arthritis suffer from fatigue. Lack of sleep can make it difficult for patients to manage pain due to increased levels of stress hormones. 3. Bipolar Disorder. Depression in people diagnosed with bipolar disorder may result in too much sleep. A period of mania might make a bipolar person feel like they don't need much sleep. 4. Diabetes. Sleep deprivation is likely to lead to less insulin and more cortisol. Lack of sleep leads to higher blood sugar levels. Higher levels of sugar in a person's blood can cause issues like insomnia and sleep apnea. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
