In the United States as many as forty million people suffer from chronic long term sleep disorders while as many as twenty million have occasional sleep disorders. Good health requires sleep, even though this phenomenon is not completely understood by scientists and medical professionals yet. Sleeps disorders have three major types and one of them is insomnia sleep disorder.
Insomnia is a very common sleep problem that is experienced by millions on occasion and it means a person is not able to fall asleep. A person with insomnia will have a disruption of normal daily life and they will often feel tired most of the time and end up worrying about their lack of sleep. Insomnia sleep disorder can be caused by a number of factors including excessive intake of caffeine or alcohol, emotional difficulties, stress and other underlying diseases. Lack of sleep isn’t a disorder in itself, but it is an indication of inadequate sleep and can harm the immune system.
There are three categories of insomnia including predisposition, precipitation and perpetual.Recognizing Sleep Disorders in Children A person’s built-in traits are predisposing factors that make them vulnerable to insomnia sleep disorder. Certain events that occur during a person’s life cause precipitation factors which trigger a period of disturbed sleep. For example a person may have a sudden change in schedule which provokes insomnia, such as jet lag or a change in shift work.
Behavioral patterns that keep the insomnia at certain levels as those evidenced in irregular sleep habits or intake of drugs are perpetual factors. These factors may include alcohol abuse, heavy smoking and such extreme actions that can perpetuate insomnia. The malady may be temporarily alleviated by sleeping pills, but they are only a short term solution and are not effective for chronic insomnia cases.
Treatment is varied for insomnia sleep disorders and may include psychological strategies in addition to medications. Some of the recommended steps to take that should be followed to alleviate insomnia sleep disorders including good sleeping habits, sleeping when feeling tired and sleeping only in the bedroom.

watch my video on my life with insomnia please ;3
It’s 4:30 am EST, and obviously I’m watching this because I can’t sleep. For people with insomnia, I have the cure. If you can, go run ten miles and I promise you that you’ll fall asleep. I can’t sleep because I’d stay up thinking about things all night.
that guy in a doctor costume looks like a porn star. and im here because it’s freaking 5am and i can’t sleep, and no, this did not help at all.
You should start by writing a letter to your university begging for an extension so that you can complete this work by yourself. Nobody can do this in one day and they shouldn't have to as it is your responsibility and it is your fault if you fail.
The first step for you is for you to get properly diagnosed. In order to do this, I suggest contacting your Primary Care physician and telling him/her exactly what you just told us.
Your PCP will then refer you to a sleep specialist who is more than likely either a Neurologist or Pulmonologist who specializes in sleep. This physician will conduct an interview and exam and more than likely order what is called a Polysomnography (PSG) or sleep study.
Don't worry about undergoing this test as it is painfree, although mildly inconvenient. You will be connected to monitors that watch heart rate, respirations, leg movement, brain waves and oxygen saturation. All they use is a sticky goop to connect the electrodes. After you are all hooked up, its off to bed you go! While you sleep a Polysomnography Technician monitors your sleep and records data which is then presented to the doctor at a later time.
Now, keep in mind that I am no physician…however, from the symptoms you are describing, it sounds to me like you may suffer from Narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is diagnosed both through symptomatogly, a sleep study, and one more type of sleep study called a Multiple Sleep Latency or MSLT. During this test, you have the same type of monitors (EEG) monitors and heart monitors connected to you, and you are asked to take a series of fifteen minute naps spaced two hours a part. A standard total of five naps are included in the exam. Should three of the five naps show an onset of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) you will be considered positive for Narcolepsy.
Signs and symptoms of Narcolepsy include the following:
Extreme daytime sleepiness
Cataplexy (muscle weakness) while awake
Hallucinations and sleep paralysis during sleep
Many Narcoleps notice that they tend to instantly fall asleep if experiencing any extreme emotion or excitement. Some may fall asleep while laughing or crying.
The other two symptoms above are relatively self explanatory.
I hope this helps. Cheers!
I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but I did find what seems to be a good website on Unbalanced Dysfunctional Breathing. I'll post the link: http://www.breathing.com/articles/udb.htm
Also you mentioned something about sleep apnea. This is a disorder in which you stop breathing while you are sleeping for a period of somewhere between 10 secs and 1 min before you breath again. If you want more information about this you can go to the forum:

and they will help you out.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Agree, stress is number one cause, if you are one with life and stuff, you will sleep, if you are fucked up, ie diseases, loss of love one, depressed, jobs, happyness.
LOL. COME ON MAN. IM ONLY 16 AND I KNEW THIS ALREADY! ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.
Smoke weed 2 hours before your expected bed time. Pill medications suck and have too many side effects.
im watchin dis vid bc itz 2am and i cant fall asleep v_v
I have has a similar experience. Ever since i have been injured in football. i have felt lifeless. I get dirty looks sometiems becuse people want me to be back too soon. It is hard because i dont feel like my calling is football but premed. I am very active during the night and have no energy during the day and no want or need to socialize. I have had major thoughts of suicide and even almost attempted it. I resorted to sleeping pills and they seem to help a little. The doctor thought i had insomnia.This affected my classes a little but not too bad becaue i forced myself to go. I am only a frosh but i felt i was doing ok. insomia and no want for a social life are signs of clinical depression. I am actually getting seen this week about it to maybe prescribe something. If you want to talk i would really appreciate it because i might be in the same boat as you. If not that is ok, im used to it. anyways email me if you would like, Stelio2123@yahoo.com
im a firstyr highschool.. im the top1 student in my school but when i have my insomnia ive became top5 student… haiixxxxt…
Insomnia is an inability to sleep when a person wants to sleep. The term is often misused when it is applied to people who chose to do other things than sleep. Often times with students this is the case. Their age group predisposes them to stay up late and sleep late in the morning. This does not fit too well with school.
Their is no question that it is difficult to students to get into a good sleep pattern but this is not true insomnia.
You need to make a distention in your thesis about which type of sleep loss you are talking about.
Try looking up sleep disorder for the insomnia and sleep deprivation for the loss of sleep
