Sleep-Wake Disorders

Sleep-wake disorders cover a range of behaviors, categorized by how they affect your sleep behavior:

• Insomnia: trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night.
• Sleep apnea: abnormal breathing patterns while asleep.
• Restless leg syndrome: feeling an impulse to move your legs right as you’re falling asleep.
• Narcolepsy: extreme sleepiness and falling asleep during the day.

Sleep-wake disorders prevent people from regulating their sleep during traditional night/day cycles. Instead, they experience wakefulness during the night and sleepiness during the day.

Many people struggle with sleep disorders throughout their lives, unable to catch up on sleep and feel tired or worn-down during the day while awake and unsettled at night. With an accurate diagnosis, you can get relief and reset your circadian rhythm.
