Sleep & Insomnia Disorders

Sleep and Insomnia Disorders involve disruptions in the quality, timing, and amount of sleep, leading to daytime distress and impairment in functioning. These conditions can affect mood, memory, focus, and overall health.

• Insomnia Disorder

Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early, despite adequate opportunity for rest. It leads to fatigue, irritability, and poor concentration during the day.

• Hypersomnolence Disorder

Excessive sleepiness during the day, even after a full night's sleep. Individuals may fall asleep multiple times during the day or sleep for prolonged periods.

• Narcolepsy

A neurological disorder marked by sudden, uncontrollable episodes of sleep during the day, often accompanied by muscle weakness (cataplexy), hallucinations, and sleep paralysis.

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea

Repeated episodes of blocked airflow during sleep, causing loud snoring, gasping, and frequent awakenings. It results in poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue.

•  Central Sleep Apnea

A disorder where the brain temporarily stops sending signals to the muscles that control breathing, leading to disrupted sleep and reduced oxygen levels.

•  Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders

Disruptions in the body’s internal clock, leading to sleep timing problems (e.g., delayed sleep phase, shift work disorder, jet lag disorder).

•  Parasomnias

Unusual behaviors during sleep such as sleepwalking, night terrors, talking in sleep, or acting out dreams (REM sleep behavior disorder).

•  Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

An uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often accompanied by unpleasant sensations, typically worsening at night and interfering with sleep onset.
