There are many types of sleeping disorders. You'll be surprised to know that some of them are still a mystery to doctors and being researched upon. The more common ones are :
1. Restless Leg Syndrome – where there is an urge to move the limbs continuously, often in an uncontrollable manner

2. Periodic Limb movement - an involuntary rhythmic movement of the limbs that happens at random

3. Insomnia – inability to sleep for any fair length of time

4. Sleep Apneas - A gasping for air, chocking, loud snoring or never getting a refreshing sleep

5. Night eating syndrome - characterized by frequent night waking in which the patient is unable to fall back to sleep unless he/she eats something.
6. Narcolepsy - Uncontrollable urge to fall asleep unexpectedly in the middle of an activity or conversation.
If you are having trouble sleeping or sleeping and finding that you do not feel refreshed when you awake, consider seeking help from a professional. You may find www.mediangels.com rather helpful as it lists down all possible causes and treatments. You may find that you have a treatable sleep disorder and could be back on the track to rest before you know it. Check out the site and you'll thank me for the rest of your life !
