What are Sleep Disorders?

Sleep Disorders are generally characterised by their “duration” and are classified as either “acute” or “chronic” (Brief and circumstantial or compounding over time).

Acute Insomnia is brief and often happens because of life circumstances (for example, when you can’t fall asleep the night before a big event the next day, or after receiving stressful or bad news).

Many people may have experienced this type of circumstantial sleep disorder and in general they tend to resolve themselves over a short period of time.

Chronic Insomnia is sleep that is frequently disrupted and occurs at least three nights per week and lasts at least three months.

Chronic Insomnia Sleep Disorders can have many causes.

Sleep Disorders are often linked to other psychological or medical problems, although the link between them is not always obvious or direct.
