12. You Have Sleep Disturbances

HelpGuide

Another common sign of thyroid problems is having sleep disturbances. One reason for this is the possibility of an overactive thyroid that causes hyperthyroidism. When this happens, patients experience anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, and insomnia, all because they can’t seem to get the proper rest. Add to this the aftereffects of a lack of sleep and patients then need to deal with fatigue, exhaustion, an inability to think properly and worse, depression. If you feel that you aren’t getting enough rest and you often wake up after a night of sleep feeling like you haven’t slept a wink, be sure to see a doctor to get diagnosed for a possible thyroid problem. Even if it’s not that, you’ll still be closer to figuring out what could be causing your sleep disturbances.
