6. Apnea is a term for suspension
of external breathing. During
apnea there is no movement of
the muscles of respiration and
the volume of the lungs initially
remains unchanged. Depending
on the potency of the airways
there may or may not be a flow
of gas between the lungs and the
environment; gas exchange
within the lungs and
cellular respiration is not
affected.

8. Narcolepsy is a chronic
neurological disorder caused by the
brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake
cycles normally. People with narcolepsy
often experience disturbed nocturnal
sleep and an abnormal daytime sleep
pattern, which often is confused with
insomnia. Narcoleptics, when falling
asleep, generally experience the REM
stage of sleep within 5 minutes, while
most people do not experience REM
sleep until an hour or so later.

10. Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD),
previously known as nocturnal cyclones, is a
sleep disorder where the patient moves limbs
involuntarily during sleep, and has symptoms or
problems related to the movement.
PLMD should not be confused with
restless leg syndrome (RLS). RLS occurs while
awake as well as when asleep, and when awake,
there is a voluntary response to an
uncomfortable feeling in the legs. PLMD on the
other hand is involuntary, and the patient is often
unaware of these movements altogether.

12. A night terror, sleep terror or favor
nocturnes is a persona disorder,
causing feelings of terror or dread, and
typically occurring in the first few hours
of sleep during stage 3 or 4
non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.
[1] Night terrors tend to happen during
periods of arousal from delta sleep,
also known as slow wave sleep. During
the first half of a sleep cycle, delta
sleep occurs most often, which
indicates that people with more delta
sleep activity are more prone to night
terrors.

13. Sleep talking, formally known as somniloquy, is a
sleep disorder defined as talking during sleep without
being aware of it. Sleep talking can involve
complicated dialogues or monologues, complete
gibberish or mumbling. The good news is that for
most people it is a rare and short-lived occurrence.
Anyone can experience sleep talking, but the
condition is more common in males and children.
Sleep-talkers are not typically aware of their behaviors
or speech; therefore their voices and the type of
language they use may sound different from their
wakeful speech. Sleep talking may be spontaneous or
induced by conversation with the sleeper.

15. Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism
or noctambulism, is a sleep disorder belonging
to the parasomnia family. Sleepwalkers arise
from the slow wave sleep stage in a state of
low consciousness and perform activities that
are usually performed during a state of full
consciousness. These activities can be as
benign as sitting up in bed, walking to the
bathroom, and cleaning, or as hazardous as
cooking, driving, violent gestures, grabbing at
hallucinated objects, or even homicide.
