Sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, restless legs syndrome/periodic limb movement, and insomnia are common in the United States with an estimated 60 million Americans experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, decreased memory and concentration, and pervasive malaise each year. Sleep disorders have a significant negative impact on work, physical, and social performance and overall quality of life and contribute to more than 50,000 unnecessary deaths each year. The total direct, indirect, and related costs of sleep disorders are conservatively estimated at as much as $107.5 billion annually. |
