Understanding Sleep Problems
This week we are tackling sleep problems. Sleep is essential to our well-being, yet so many of us deal with issues that affect it, from snoring partners to frequent nighttime urination.
Common Questions About Sleep
Q: What can I do if my partner snores?
A: Snoring can be disruptive. Consider using earplugs or a white noise machine. Encourage your partner to sleep on their side or seek medical advice if the snoring is severe.
Q: How can I reduce nighttime urination?
A: Limit fluid intake in the evening and avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. If the problem persists, consult a healthcare provider.
