What is a sleep disorder?
A sleep disorder, also known as a sleep disturbance or sleep-wake disorder, is a condition that affects the quality, timing, or duration of a person's sleep. Sleep disorders can interfere with normal sleep patterns, leading to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. They can negatively impact a person's overall health, well-being, and daily functioning.
There are various types of sleep disorders, including:
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, often resulting in non-restorative sleep and daytime fatigue.
- Sleep apnea: A potentially serious disorder characterised by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, causing disrupted sleep and lower oxygen levels in the blood.
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS): A neurological disorder that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, particularly at night, making it difficult to fall asleep.
- Narcolepsy: A chronic neurological condition characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden episodes of muscle weakness (cataplexy), sleep paralysis, and hallucinations during sleep-wake transitions.
- Circadian rhythm sleep disorders: Disruptions in the body's internal clock, leading to sleep-wake schedule disturbances, such as delayed sleep phase syndrome, advanced sleep phase syndrome, and jet lag.
- Parasomnias: Unusual behaviours that occur during sleep, such as sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors, and sleep-related eating disorder.
Diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders typically involve a thorough evaluation of the individual's sleep patterns, medical history, and symptoms. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, behavioural therapy, medication, or the use of medical devices, depending on the specific disorder and its severity.
