Sleep Disorders

اضطرابات النوم

Poor sleep is a medical problem with medical answers — and sometimes the first visible sign of a treatable neurological condition.

When to See a Neurologist

Difficulty falling or staying asleep most nights
Creeping leg discomfort at night relieved by movement (restless legs)
Acting out dreams — kicking, shouting (REM behaviour disorder)
Loud snoring with witnessed breathing pauses
Unexplained night-time events: confusion, tongue-biting, wandering

How It Is Diagnosed at the Clinic

Structured sleep history and diary, iron studies for restless legs, EEG when nocturnal epilepsy is suspected, and sleep-study referral for apnea or complex parasomnias.

Treatment Options

  1. 1CBT-I-based insomnia treatment before hypnotics
  2. 2Restless legs: iron correction and targeted medication
  3. 3REM behaviour disorder treatment and safety measures
  4. 4Nocturnal epilepsy management
  5. 5Sleep-hygiene and shift-work counselling

Why Dr. Ebied for This Condition

Night-time events often need a neurologist's eye: distinguishing parasomnia from nocturnal epilepsy changes everything — and EEG is available in-house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rarely long-term. Behavioural treatment (CBT-I) outperforms hypnotics for chronic insomnia; medication has a role, but as a bridge, not a destination.
