Week Five Post: Sleep Disorders

Did you know that snoring is considered a sleep disorder? People may wake up with difficulty and they feel tired in the morning and throughout the whole day. Those people can also end up falling asleep while at work or while they drive and take frequent naps. Other sleep disorders are sleep apnea, insomnia, and narcolepsy. Sleep apea is when people stop breathing for up to ten seconds throughout their sleep. Insomnia is when people have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep along with functional impairment during the day. Narcolepsy is a condition where people fall asleep at random times during the day, such as in school or at work.

I am really glad that I do not have such sleeping disorders listed above. I really love sleeping and I hate the way I feel and look without a good night's sleep. I wouldn't want to fall asleep at random parts in the day because that would show a sign of disrespect in class or work.
