2 Types of Sleep Disorders Narcolepsy Sleep Paralysis Sleep Apnea Sleep Bruxism Insomnia Night Terrors

3 Narcolepsy A Chronic sleeping disorder of the central nervous system (the inability to control sleep wake cycles) In narcolepsy, sleep episodes can occur at any time. People with narcolepsy have poor sleep quality. May cause paralysis Narcolepsy may nave several causes. When cataplexy is present, narcolepsy is almost always caused by the of a brain neurotransmitter called hypocretin.

4 CataplexyParalysis Is a sudden loss of muscle tone that leads to the feelings of weakness and a loss of voluntary muscle control. Attacks can occur at anytime during the work period, with individuals usually experiencing their first episodes several weeks or months after the onset of (EDS) Excessive Daytime Sleeping. The temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or waking also parallels REM-Inhibitions of voluntary muscle activity. This can happen for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Sleep paralysis can accompany a sleep disorder such as narcolepsy.

5 Sleep Apnea Sleep Apnea is a serious chronic sleep disorder that occurs when a persons breathing is interrupted. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes very often. There are two types of sleep apnea.

6 Two types of Sleep Apnea Obstructive sleep apnea This is this most common type of the two forms of apnea. It is caused by a blockage of the airway, when the tissue in the back of the throat collapses while sleeping. Central sleep apnea In this type of sleep apnea the airway is not blocked. This disorder occurs when the area of your brain that controls breathing does not send the correct signals to the breathing muscles.
