Sleep disorders affect a substantial number of people worldwide and may be increasing in prevalence. Unfortunately, many of these disorders can go unrecognized and untreated in clinical practice. Although physicians understand that good sleep is essential to patient health, approaching the issue is often glossed over in the primary care setting. Importantly, recent data also suggest that sleep disorders are becoming increasingly recognized in developing nations. Here, we review the pertinent features and treatment of some of the major sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, insomnia, and others, that affect patient health. We aim to promote clinician and public awareness of various sleep disorders with the intent of increasing rates of recognition and treatment.
睡眠障碍影响着全球大量人口，其患病率可能还在上升。不幸的是，在临床实践中，许多此类障碍可能未被识别和治疗。尽管医生明白良好睡眠对患者健康至关重要，但在初级保健环境中，这个问题常常被忽视。重要的是，最近的数据还表明，睡眠障碍在发展中国家也越来越受到关注。在此，我们回顾一些主要睡眠障碍（包括阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停、中枢性睡眠呼吸暂停、失眠等）影响患者健康的相关特征及治疗方法。我们旨在提高临床医生和公众对各种睡眠障碍的认识，以提高识别率和治疗率。
