Sleep Disorders

Information on sleep disorders

Sleep disorders cover a broad range of different conditions that range from problems during sleep and problems that prevent sleep. There's even a disorder that cause spontaneous sleep when it's unwanted. Most sleep disorders can be diagnosed at sleep disorders centers.

Common Sleep Disorders

In one of the most common disorders, sleep won't come at all. Insomnia affects a great many people, and some people will suffer from this disorder many times through their lives. Insomnia is almost always caused by other problems, like stress or an underlying illness. It's marked by the inability to fall asleep, even when tired, and the inability to stay asleep for very long. People with insomnia are typically tired and worn-down from lack of sleep, but aren't in any real danger of falling asleep at inappropriate times like while watching children or driving. Despite their fatigue, they remain awake.

[what's this?]

Sleep apnea is another common sleep disorder. People with this problem may be exhausted during the day and feel like they haven't slept nearly enough. But unlike people with insomnia, there's nothing keeping people with sleep apnea from falling asleep at various times through the day. That's because they're not being prevented from sleeping, but their sleep is disturbed throughout the night because they stop breathing for short periods, and never really get into the deeper, restful stages of sleep. Sleep apnea can become dangerous if left untreated.

Narcolepsy is a symptom in which a person will feel excessively sleepy and may need to nap frequently. In some cases, narcoleptics spontaneously fall asleep during periods of excitement or strong emotions. Restless legs syndrome is another sleep disorder that can leave a person tired during the day. With this disorder, people must continually move their legs when trying to fall asleep, making sleep slow in coming.

Child Sleep Disorders

Infant sleep disorders are usually recognizable when the child is not sleeping in a regular pattern by the age of six months. Toddler sleep disorders can include things like restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea, but are more likely to be caused by things such as bedwetting, night terrors and sleepwalking.
