A sleep disorder is a condition that affects a person's ability to function normally when awake by impairing sleep quantity, quality, or duration. It may be symptoms of underlying mental health issues and can lead to other medical problems. In 1979, the American Sleep Disorders Association published the first classification scheme for sleep disorders. Our knowledge and understanding of the health benefits of sleep have evolved over the last four decades. Over 100 distinct sleep disorders have been identified, and current classifications use sophisticated approaches to classify these diseases based on their aetiology, symptoms, and physiological and psychological impacts, among other factors.
