10. Sleep Disturbances – The Elusive Slumber

Quality sleep is a complex process governed by various brain regions, including the pineal gland, which regulates sleep-wake cycles. When cavernomas intrude on these areas, sleep disturbances can ensue.
The disturbances can vary—trouble falling asleep, frequently waking up during the night, or even experiencing sleep-related disorders like sleepwalking. Some may also grapple with daytime drowsiness, despite spending long hours in bed.
Poor sleep doesn’t just leave one feeling tired; it can exacerbate other symptoms. Cognitive difficulties, mood swings, and even seizures can become more frequent with persistent sleep deprivation.(10)
