Sleep-onset insomnia occurs when people have difficulty falling asleep, even when they are tired.
SLEEP ONSET INSOMNIA
SLEEP MAINTENANCE - MIDDLE INSOMNIA
LATE OR TERMINAL INSOMNIA
HYPERSOMNIA / EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SLEEPINESS
Difficulty waking up easily in the morning can be referred to by several terms, depending on the underlying causes or specific symptoms:
Sleep Inertia: This is a state of grogginess and impaired alertness upon waking. It’s normal to experience some sleep inertia, but if it’s severe or prolonged, it may interfere with morning functioning.
Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD): A circadian rhythm disorder where your natural sleep-wake cycle is delayed, making it difficult to fall asleep and wake up at conventional times.
Hypersomnia: A condition characterized by excessive sleepiness during the day, despite adequate or extended nighttime sleep. It can include difficulty waking up in the morning.
Dysania: An informal term (not a medical diagnosis) often used to describe a chronic inability to get out of bed in the morning.
Sleep Apnea: A sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to poor-quality rest and difficulty waking up.
Non-Restorative Sleep: If your sleep doesn’t feel refreshing, it could be due to underlying issues like insomnia, restless legs syndrome, or other sleep disorders, making it harder to wake up.
People who have insomnia don't feel as if they get enough sleep at night. They may have trouble falling asleep or may wake up frequently during the night or early in the morning. Insomnia is a problem if it affects your daytime activities. Insomnia has many possible causes, including stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep habits, circadian rhythm disorders (such as jet lag), and taking certain medications.
Many adults snore. The noise is produced when the air you inhale rattles over the relaxed tissues of the throat. Snoring can be a problem simply because of the noise it causes. It may also be a marker of a more serious sleep problem called sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway becomes completely or partially blocked, interrupting regular breathing for short periods of time -- which then wakes you up. It can cause severe daytime sleepiness. If left untreated, severe sleep apnea may be associated with high blood pressure and the risk of stroke and heart attack.
Pregnancy and Sleep
Women often experience sleepless nights and daytime fatigue in the first and third trimesters of their pregnancy. During the first trimester, frequent trips to the bathroom and morning sickness may disrupt sleep. Later in pregnancy, vivid dreams and physical discomfort may prevent deep sleep. After delivery, the new baby's care or the mother's postpartum depression may interrupt sleep.
Narcolepsy is a brain disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness. There is sometimes a genetic component, but most patients have no family history of the problem. Though dramatic and uncontrolled "sleep attacks" have been the best-known feature of narcolepsy, in reality many patients do not have sleep attacks. Instead, they experience constant sleepiness during the day.
In people who have restless legs syndrome, discomfort in the legs and feet peaks during the evening and night. They feel an urge to move their legs and feet to get temporary relief, often with excessive, rhythmic, or cyclic leg movements during sleep. This can delay sleep onset and cause brief awakening during sleep. Restless legs syndrome is a common problem among middle-aged and older adults."
