Key Concepts

Sleep Disorders

Sleep disorders are conditions that impair the ability to sleep well on a regular basis. They include a range of issues from difficulty falling or staying asleep to abnormal behaviors during sleep. These disorders can affect physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life, and their study involves understanding sleep architecture, diagnosis, epidemiology, and treatment options.

Insomnia

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or obtaining restorative sleep. It can be acute or chronic and is often associated with stress, environmental factors, or underlying health issues. Its high prevalence and impact on daily functioning make it a central subject of study in sleep medicine and mental health.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a prevalent disorder marked by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep, leading to fragmented sleep and reduced oxygen levels in the blood. It is associated with daytime sleepiness, cardiovascular risks, and metabolic issues. The condition is commonly linked with obstructive factors and is a key area of focus in both clinical practice and public health due to its significant health implications.

00:01 Hi guys, today we're looking at the question, which are the following two sleep disorders occur most commonly.

00:07 Okay, so most common sleep disorders.

00:15 All right, so let's go through these and get to the closest answer.

00:20 All right, so a is going to be insomnia and narcolepsy.

00:28 Plus narcolepsy.

00:30 Now, insomnia is going to be pretty common.

00:33 It's going to be seen in a lot of adults.

00:36 Narcolepsy is a little bit less common.

00:38 It's a little more rare of a disorder where it's going to be characterized by the general belief is that it just instant sleep throughout the day.

00:47 There are periods of instant sleep, and that's not really what it is.

00:50 Rather, it's characterized by extreme daytime drowsiness, and that's because your brain is having trouble differentiating between your wakeful state and your sleep state.

01:01 So insomnia is going to be more common than narcolepsy, so it's not going to be a.

01:05 Both need to be common for the answer to be right so okay then we have apnea narcolepsy so right away just from what we know and what we said about a we know that's probably not going to be b because narcolepsy is not super common but apnea is going to be pretty common it's going to be seen once again like insomnia in a lot of older adults and this is characterized by periods of well specifically during sleep where breathing stops and it can be like really dangerous and really harmful for the individual obviously and it can often cause like really abrupt wake -ups so that's going to be seen pretty often as adults that in older adults sorry so it's not going to be b though because narcolepsy once again not super common so let's look at c night terrors in apnea night terrors so right away i would consider this answer because what we know about apnea is that it is pretty common.

02:10 But when we look at night terrors, night terrors are going to be more common in children and even then they're going to be like not chronic, they're going to be slightly rare in terms of chronic night terrors.

02:22 Like infrequent night terrors are part of child, like they're common part of child sleep, but not super often.

02:30 And then they're also, we kind of grow out of them as we age.

02:34 So adults, it's going to be seen less and less.

02:36 It still happens, but not as often as when we're kids.

02:40 So it's not going to be c just because night tear is not super common.

02:45 D, somnaambulism.

02:52 Oh, there was only 1a.

02:54 Sorry about that.

02:56 Let me erase that.

02:58 Okay, and before we, before i finish writing, somnaambulism is going to be sleepwalking.

03:06 And it might be a relatively new term for some of you.

03:10 But what helps for me is to break it up into what i know and just the root of the word.
