Ever lay in bed trying to go to sleep and random thoughts, perhaps even worries, race around your brain prohibiting you from sleep? No matter what you do, you just can't seem to fall asleep. This is referred to as transient insomnia. On occasion, everyone experiences a restless night, but a real Sleep Disorder is a whole different ballgame.

for fear of never waking up. Sleep Apnea Syndrome, which is created by a blockage of the upper airway during sleep. Parasomnia, which is a form of Nightmare Disorder.

Sleep disorders pertaining to mental problems come in the form of depression or anxiety. Sleep disorders pertaining to medical are usually the result of a neurological dysfunction. Sleep disorders, substance induced pertain to the abuse of alcohol and drugs. Treating a long-term sleep problem without ever find the cause is like putting a band aide on a wound...a temporary fix but not a solution nor a cure.
