Kendra (2003) posits that, disorders related to sleep disrupt normal sleep patterns that result to disrupted functioning and consequently distress (Kendra, 2003). Sleep disorders can cause serious stress instances and related health consequences and affects virtually everyone at one point or another in their lives. Common examples of sleep disorders include insomnia which is commonly caused by a variety of things for example stress, poor sleeping habits or even change in zones of time, Narcolepsy which is a disorder of neurology that results into extreme sleepiness and may make the victim to sleep prior to any warning. Narcolepsy is specifically caused by lack of hypocretin, a chemical in the brain that controls wakefulness and sleeping habits. Its symptoms include: excessive happiness at daytime; sleepwalking, sleep apnea and night terrors, uncontrollable, intermittent episodes of falling a sleep during the day and loss of control of the muscles in cases of emotional situations. However, it is essential for us to examine our sleeping habits and make necessary adjustments where necessary so as to escape lethal repercussions that characterize such disorders. Besides, it is important for us to determine if we are having sleep disorders by first paying attention to our sleep habits in addition to our daily routine.
