Sleep Apnea is a treatable disorder in which a person stops breathing during sleep,sometimes hundreds of times during a night. It is estimated that at least 10 million Americans have sleep apnea.
Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a neurological condition resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness. People who suffer from narcolepsy experience extreme tiredness,perhaps even falling asleep during the day at inappropriate times,such as at work or in school. A narcoleptic person will usually experience disturbed sleep at night,which is often mistaken for insomnia.
Periodic Limb Movement Disorder
Periodic Limb Movement Disorder is a sleep disorder in which the patient involuntarily moves or jerks limbs during sleep,and has symptoms or problems related to the movement. The person experiencing these limb movements are rarely aware of them,but a bed partner often is. This disorder can lead to tiredness during the day because it disrupts your sleep at night.
