Sleep Disorder

Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep condition characterized by increased daytime sleepiness and unexpected sleep attacks. People suffering from narcolepsy frequently struggle to stay up for longer periods of time, regardless of their circumstances. Narcolepsy can seriously interrupt your regular routine.  The disorder may also produce sleep paralysis, in which you are physically unable to move immediately after waking up. Although narcolepsy may occur on its own, it is also linked to other neurological illnesses including multiple sclerosis. The signs and symptoms of narcolepsy may worsen for the first few years and then continue for life. They include: Excessive daytime sleepiness Sleep paralysis Changes in rapid eye movement sleep Hallucinations

Sleep Apnea is a condition in which you experience abnormal patterns in breathing while you are asleep. This is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body takes less oxygen. It can also cause you to wake up in the middle of the night. There are several types of sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea - where the flow of air stops because airway space is obstructed or too narrow Central sleep apnea - where there is a problem in the connection between the brain and the muscles that control your breath. Complex sleep apnea - also known as treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, occurs when someone has both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
