Sleep.
We often take it for granted, expecting that every night we’ll drift into sweet slumber. But for millions of people around the world, sleep is a challenge. Due to sleep disorders, they find themselves unable to sleep, or worse.
But what exactly are sleep disorders? And what causes them?
In this post, we’re going to break down both the what and why of sleep disorders, as well as explain the effects of lack of sleep on the human body.

What Is A Sleep Disorder?
Put simply, a sleep disorder is a change in the way you sleep. Instead of sleeping well and getting a good night’s rest, new, unhealthy sleep patterns are introduced into your life, altering the very fabric of your sleep.
Sleep problems are widespread, with approximately 10-20% of people saying that they struggle with significant sleep problems, and another 33% of adults reporting insomnia-like symptoms.
Sleep disorders can be grouped in a variety of ways, including difficulty falling asleep, feeling extra sleepy during the day, having trouble breathing at night, problems with your natural sleep-wake cycles, and behaviors at night while sleeping.
How do you know if you have a sleep disorder? There are some common symptoms that are signs that something is greatly amiss with your sleep:
- Excessive sleepiness during the day
- Irregular breathing patterns at night
- Irregular movements at night
- Difficulty falling asleep
If you struggle with any of these symptoms, there is a good chance that you’re struggling with some form of sleep disorder.
