What Are Sleep Disorders? Sleep disorders are conditions that regularly disrupt the quality, timing, or amount of sleep you get, leaving you tired and unwell during the day. An occasional bad night is normal. A pattern that lasts for weeks and affects your mood, focus, or health is worth looking into. Example: Someone lies awake for hours every night, worrying about work, then feels exhausted and irritable all day. Over time, poor sleep and stress feed each other. Common Sleep Problems: Insomnia — difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early Sleep apnoea — breathing repeatedly pauses during sleep, often with loud snoring Restless legs — an urge to move the legs at night that disrupts sleep Irregular sleep patterns — such as shift-work-related sleep problems Sleep and Mental Health Sleep and mental health are closely linked. Anxiety, stress, burnout, and depression can all disturb sleep, and poor sleep can make each of them harder to manage. That is why sleep problems often improve when the underlying stress, anxiety, or low mood is treated.
