Sleep disorders are a group of conditions that
affect how a person sleeps, how long they sleep, and how refreshed they feel
after sleep. Common types include insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy,
restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythm disorders, and parasomnias
such as sleepwalking or night terrors. People with these disorders may struggle
to fall asleep, wake up many times at night, snore loudly, gasp for air, or
feel sleepy during the day even after spending enough time in bed. Some sleep
disorders are linked to breathing problems, while others are related to the
body’s internal clock, nerve activity, or abnormal behavior during sleep.
Poor sleep can reduce concentration, mood, and energy, and it may
increase the risk of accidents, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
if left untreated. Treatment depends on the cause and may include better sleep
habits, stress management, medicines, devices for breathing problems,
or specialist care. Early evaluation is important because many sleep
disorders improve when the underlying problem is identified and treated
properly.
