The Connection Between Sleep and Overall Health

Untreated sleep disorders don’t just make you feel tired—they can contribute to serious health conditions, including:

• High blood pressure – Sleep apnea is linked to an increased risk of hypertension due to repeated oxygen deprivation during the night.
• Heart disease and stroke – Poor sleep has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Diabetes and weight gain – Sleep deprivation affects metabolism and increases the risk of obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
• Cognitive decline and memory loss – Lack of restorative sleep can lead to brain fog, memory issues, and increased dementia risk.

By addressing sleep apnea and other sleep disorders, Dr. Park helps improve overall health and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Solutions
