Restless Leg Syndrome
Tingling or numbness in the legs can make it very difficult to fall asleep. Periodic Leg Movement Disorder is a similar affliction that also leads to leg cramps and restlessness.
In addition to these disorders, sleep problems like snoring, sleepwalking, nightmares, and teeth grinding (bruxism) can cause a variety of problems for patients who suffer from them.
How Can a Neurologist Help?
By examining the relationship between your brain and nervous system, a neurologist tracks down the cause of your sleep issues. Sleep medicine and disorder treatment begin with a sleep study where you will be monitored to determine what sleep disorder you suffer from. Then, a neurologist develops an appropriate treatment plan.
