Insomnia
Insomnia is a very common sleep disorder where a person has extreme difficulty in getting to sleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, and then not being able to fall back to sleep again afterwards.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious condition marked by disruptions in breathing while you sleep. If you find yourself snoring loudly and feel tired despite getting a full night’s rest, you could have sleep apnea.
Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition in which you grind or clench your teeth unconsciously when you’re awake or while you’re sleeping. It’s often linked to stress anxiety and is common in children and teenagers.
Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that hinders the brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles, resulting in sudden and unpredictable episodes of daytime sleepiness and difficulty concentrating.
Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless legs syndrome primarily manifests as a strong urge to move your legs. It may also create a crawling sensation in the feet, calves, and thighs, and can involve involuntary jerking of the limbs, all of which hinder sleep.
Sleep/Wake Cycle Disorders
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Other Parasomnias
A parasomnia is any disorder that affects your sleep. Common examples include night terrors, sleepwalking, sleep talking, Bedwetting, Sleep paralysis, Sleep inertia, and REM sleep behaviour disorder. Find out more about these conditions here.
