What Is a Sleep Disorder?

A sleep disorder, sometimes referred to as somnipathy, is a medical condition that affects the quality, timing, or duration of sleep.

Sleep disorders can interfere with a person’s ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or achieve restorative sleep. In some cases, they may impact physical health, cognitive function, mood, and overall wellbeing.

If sleep difficulties are persistent or significantly affecting daily life, it is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
