- Difficulty falling asleep

Understanding care
Clinical care may include assessment of sleep habits, contributing conditions and suitable behavioral or clinical care. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
Arrange sleep assessment for witnessed breathing pauses or persistent daytime sleepiness. Avoid driving when dangerously sleepy; severe breathing difficulty while awake needs emergency help.
For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
