They can be grouped into four main categories:</p><ul><li>Problems falling or staying asleep (insomnia)</li><li>Problems staying awake (excessive daytime sleepiness)</li><li>Problems sticking to a regular sleep schedule (sleep rhythm problem)</li><li>Unusual behaviors during sleep (sleep-disruptive behaviors) </li></ul><p>PROBLEMS FALLING AND STAYING ASLEEP </p><p><a test="test" href="./000805.htm">Insomnia</a> includes trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Episodes may come and go, last up to 3 weeks (be short-term), or be long-lasting (chronic).</p><p>PROBLEMS STAYING AWAKE </p><p><a test="test" href="./000803.htm">Hypersomnia</a> is a condition in which people have excessive daytime sleepiness. This means they feel tired during the day and are prone to falling asleep. Hypersomnia can also include situations in which a person needs to sleep a lot. This may be due to other medical conditions, but can also be due to a problem in the brain. Causes of this problem include:</p><ul><li>Medical conditions, such as <a test="test" href="./000427.htm">fibromyalgia</a> and low thyroid function</li><li>Medicines that are sedating</li><li><a test="test" href="./000591.htm">Mononucleosis</a> or other viral illnesses</li><li><a test="test" href="./000802.htm">Narcolepsy</a> and other sleep disorders</li><li>Obesity, especially if it causes <a test="test" href="./000811.htm">obstructive sleep apnea</a></li></ul><p>When no cause for the sleepiness can be found, it is called <a test="test" href="./000803.htm">idiopathic hypersomnia</a>.</p><p>PROBLEMS STICKING TO A REGULAR SLEEP SCHEDULE </p><p>Problems may also occur when you do not stick to a regular sleep and wake schedule. This occurs when people travel between time zones. It can also occur with shift workers who are on changing schedules, especially nighttime workers.</p><p>Disorders that involve a disrupted sleep schedule include:</p><ul><li><a test="test" href="./000806.htm">Irregular sleep-wake syndrome </a></li><li><a test="test" href="../patientinstructions/000719.htm">Jet lag syndrome</a></li><li>Shift work sleep disorder</li><li>Delayed sleep phase, as in teenagers who go to sleep very late at night and then sleep until noon</li><li>Advanced sleep phase, as in older adults who go to sleep early in the evening and wake up very early </li></ul><img title="Irregular sleep" alt="Irregular sleep" src="//medlineplus.gov/ency/images/ency/fullsize/17218.jpg" class="img-e" itemprop="image"/><p>SLEEP-DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIORS </p><p>Abnormal behaviors during sleep are called parasomnias.
