Information on Sleep Disorders
A Sleep Disorder is a medical problem that occurs during sleep.
Are you sleepy? Are you having a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep? Do you do 'weird' things in the night?
If you answered 'Yes' to any of these, you might be suffering from a sleep disorder, also called as somnipathy. It is a medical disorder relating to sleep and wake patterns. While there are some common disorders that usually don't interfere with general health, there are also those that can significantly affect physical, social, emotional, economic, and mental functioning of an individual. There are many types of sleep disorders. Here, we will just touch the surface of sleep heath and sleep disorders that can cause daytime sleepiness.
Types of sleep disorders
Dyssomnias
This category of sleep disorder is characterized either by insomnia or hypersomnia. The major factors involved are environmental conditions, internal body mechanism and disruptions in the circadian rhythm. Also, it includes Sleep Disordered Breathing such as snoring, sleep apnea, restless leg, upper airway syndrome, restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder.
Parasomnias
This category entails abnormal behaviors, movements, perceptions, dreams and emotions that are associated with sleep. Examples include bedwetting, bruxism, exploding head syndrome, sleep terror, sleep walking and sleep talking.

also includes sleeping sickness, a parasitic sleep disease which can be caused by Tsetse flies.
