Hi all thought I would share these with you if you have a think you may have a sleep disorder this might help you understand what it is so read on...

Sleep Cycle Interrupted

Normally when we sleep our brains are highly active while our bodies experience temporary paralysis. According to the National Sleep Foundation, REM behavior disorder blurs the lines between wakefulness,normal sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Sleepers with REM behavior disorder often act out their dreams in episodes that can be as mild as sleep talking or more extreme like hitting or punching...

Listed below are the names of these sleep disorders...

Sexsomnia (sleep sex)

Patients suffering from this condition perform sexual acts with their partners or themselves while asleep. Researchers documented cases that were as mild as making sexual sounds while sleeping and others that amounted to full-blown cases of violent sexual assault...

Other sleep disorders are often behind the unusual sleep behavior. In some instances clinics recommend counseling, psychotherapy or even anti depressants to manage the disorder...

Sleep Eating

Episodes usually involve high calorie foods (or other oddities like coffee grounds, cat food or cleaning products) eaten over a very short time and without the sleepers knowledge. Because sleep related eating is both a sleep disorder and eating disorder, the Mayo clinic points out the effects can be complex especially if the sleeper has other conditions like diabetes or food allergies.

The first signs of the condition often occur when the patients are in their 20's. Substance abuse withdrawal , medication side effects and separation anxiety can all trigger sleep eating...

Adult Bed Wetting

There are two types of adult bed wetting. Primary nocturnal enuresis happens when an adult never overcomes simple childhood bedwetting associated with potty training. The other is called adult onset enuresis which begins well in to adulthood.

The condition can be genetic, but a variety of factors, including diabetes can be at the root of the problem according to the Association of Continence. Increased production of urine during sleep or insufficient production of antidiuretic hormone (which normally inhibits nighttime urine production) can both lead to adult bedwetting...

Sleep Talking (somnilquy)

Ranging from snippets of gibberish to longer, sophisticated speeches, sleep talking can also be the symptom of another sleep disorder, such as REM behaviour disorder or sleep terrors. According to the National Sleep Foundation men and children are more likely to talk in their sleep than adult women...

Treatment isn't usually necessary , unless it's bothering your sleep partner. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is more often than not the solution to mild cases or persistent sleep talking...

Sleepwalking (somanmbulism)

One of the more common types of parasomnia ( an unusual or undesirable sleep behaviour) sleepwalking often occurs as a symtom of another condition such as sleep apnea, sleep deprivation or as a side effect from a medication. The National Sleep Foundation says a sleepwalker will not be harmed if you wake them. However because it can be difficult to rouse a sleepwalker they recommend gently escorting him or her back to bed instead...

Night Terrors

Though extreme nightmare spells are common among young children, adults with alcohol problems, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders or chronic stress are also susceptible. Night terrors also tend to run in families. Unlike children adults who experience night terrors more often remember fragments of their nightmares.

These intense nightmares are typically characterized by screaming, violent thrashing, sweating, heavy breathing and a racing pulse. In the grip of night terrors some adults will even get out of bed and frantically run around the room...

Narcolepsy

Though it may seem that way narcolepsy actually has nothing to do with a lack of sleep. The Mayo clinic concedes that the root cause of narcolepsy remains a mystery, but some doctors say genetics, infection and exposure to toxins may have something to do with it.

Sudden but brief attacks of sleep are the hallmark of narcolepsy, but other symptoms include extreme daytime drowisness, hallucinations, temporary paralysis and slurred speech...

Bruxism (teeth grinding)

Characterised by grinding or clenching of the teeth during sleep, bruxism is often taken very seriously because of it's potential to be caused by or lead to other medical problems. Physically, bruxism is often identified from the chronic facial pain or headaches it can cause.

The Mayo Clinic say it can also be the result of sleep apnea or chronic snoring. Dentists will frequently prescribe a protective mouth guard and a muscle relaxant to reduce the symptoms and prevent tooth damage...

Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless leg syndrome is characterised by the constant urge to move your legs when asleep or resting. Uncomfortable sensations such as tingling, itching or aching often occur in addition to restlessness interfering with a patients ability to get a good nights sleep.

Those suffering from the condition will involuntary jerk their limbs around, as the movement helps relieve the urge. Because of the serious sleep deprivation associated with the neurological disorder, many of those with restless leg syndrome are misdiagnosed with depression...

So there you have it the strangest sleep disorders I hope you enjoy the post and look forward to your comments...

Till later love, light and blessings...
