A sleep disorder is a condition that prevents a person from getting restorative sleep. It also can cause daytime sleepiness and dysfunction ("Sleep Disorders."). There are over 80 different types of sleep disorders but there are only four that are the most common. These disorders are Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome, and Narcolepsy. Insomnia is difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. The symptoms for this disorder are: difficulty sleeping, waking up too early with un-refreshing sleep and problems staying awake during the day ("Sleep Disorders."). There is also acute insomnia which is short term insomnia and chronic insomnia which is long term insomnia ("Sleep Disorders."). Sleep apnea is when a person is asleep and their breathing is interrupted.
