Sleep deprivation and sleep disruptions

Sleep deprivation and sleep disruptions can occur at any time and to anybody, making this the most neglected sign of the disease. Asthmatic patients frequently have poor sleep quality, trouble falling asleep, waking up early, frequent sleep interruptions, and excessive daytime drowsiness. More than 1/3 of people with asthma have sleeplessness and are predisposed to anxiety and depression. In particular, people with insomnia are 2,4 times more likely to have asthma than the average person.

Asthmatic patients frequently say that frequent sleep interruptions during the night prevent them from obtaining adequate sleep and leave them weary all day. Chronic sleep deprivation can raise the risk of obesity in the long run, diabetes, cancer, and other severe health issues. It is preferable to get frequent health check-ups for early detection rather than waiting for symptoms.
