Disorders

Insomnia- in the middle of the night a person remains awake for a few hours before falling back asleep . Because much time is spent on trying to fall back asleep this can cause a persons’ daily life to have an unfolding twist. He or she will be less attentive to their surroundings and may carry on having mood swings. This can be a major distraction for adults at their jobs, teenagers at school, and even children.
Obstructive sleep Apnoea syndrome (OSAS)- has repeated awakenings throughout the night, snoring, and cessation of breathing during sleep . Many times, nightmares can increase a person to awake in the middle of the night several times and to due to this issue, a person cannot sleep in peace. Even by snoring in the middle of the night can have its consequences. If a person has a partner, that partner will be affected as well since by the noise the other is causing, therefore forbidding them from having a peaceful sleep. Narcolepsy is another common disorder. Symptoms for narcolepsy include: excessive sleepiness in the daytime, desire to fall asleep and the feeling of being refreshed following daytime sleep (Overview of Sleep & Sleep Disorders). It is very common in doctors, lawyers, and other professions that include a busy schedule or having more than sixty hours a week working. Doing an activity during the day requires energy.
