When Insomnia Affects Your Health By MedPark Hospital

Sleep is essential to both physical and mental health, yet many people underestimate the impact of chronic insomnia. According to sleep medicine specialist Dr. Jirayos Chintanadilok, persistent sleep problems affect all ages and can quietly damage overall well-being.

Conditions like insomnia and sleep apnea do more than cause fatigue. Interrupted breathing during sleep strains the heart and increases the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and depression. Poor-quality sleep also impairs concentration, weakens cellular repair, affects mood, and reduces work performance, sometimes with serious consequences.

While coffee, melatonin, or sleeping pills may seem helpful, they are not long-term solutions and can come with side effects. True restorative sleep depends on both duration and quality.

If you regularly sleep 6–8 hours but still wake up tired, feel drowsy during the day, or notice

mood changes, an underlying sleep disorder may be the cause. Early diagnosis through proper evaluation can significantly improve health and quality of life.
