Your snoring may be a symptom of a sleep disorder that could cause health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and stroke. Do you:

• fall asleep or feel sleepy during dinner, while entertaining friends, at work, or while driving?
• snore loudly at night?
• have morning headaches?
• have trouble concentrating?
• have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep?
• have a creepy, crawly, tingly, or burning feeling in your legs at night?
• wake up in the middle of the night with heartburn?
• feel anxious or depressed at times?

If you have answered "yes" to any one of these questions, you might not be sleeping as well as you think you are. For more information about sleep disorders or to schedule a sleep evaluation, call the Northern New Jersey Center for Sleep Medicine at Holy Name Medical Center at 201-833-7260.
