It's very common to overlook sleep disorder signs. But have you ever called them cute? Parents and baby admirers alike are guilty of this crime. But we get it. It's not a subject that people understand.
What comes to mind when you hear these words: snoring, breathing with your mouth open, drooling, talking in your sleep, and sleep walking? Jokes? Cartoons? Nostalgic stories from your childhood? Yep. We've gotten so used to these behaviors that we don't think anything of them. But unfortunately, they are sleep disorder signs. Anyone who has one or more should discuss them with a medical professional.
