ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to another episode of the Hidden Sleep Disorders Show. Today, host and sleep specialist Dr. Saini will shed light on the surprisingly common reality that many sleep disorders go undiagnosed for years, even decades. He explores why so many people, from high-achieving professionals to everyday individuals, ignore chronic fatigue, poor sleep, or unexplained exhaustion, often mistaking these symptoms for depression, anxiety, or simply the stress of daily life. Together, they break down the most commonly overlooked sleep disorders, discuss the pitfalls of misdiagnosis, and look at how sleep studies can finally provide answers. If you’ve ever wondered whether your tiredness is more than “just life,” or you’re curious about the hidden world of sleep medicine, this episode is for you.
