Sleep disorders are very common and can significantly affect mental health, physical health, concentration, mood, memory, work performance, relationships, and quality of life. Urgent assessment is needed where sleep disturbance is associated with suicidal thoughts, mania, psychosis, severe depression, dangerous daytime sleepiness, suspected sleep apnoea with major risk, medication misuse, or safety-sensitive work such as driving or operating machinery.
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders. NICE estimates ranging from 5–50%, while global research estimated insomnia in more than 16% of adults, with higher rates in females.
Common sleep disorders include:
Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, or poor-quality sleep.
Hypersomnia: Excessive sleepiness despite adequate sleep.
Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Disruption of the body clock, including delayed sleep phase or shift-work sleep disorder.
Parasomnias: Abnormal behaviours during sleep, such as sleepwalking, night terrors, or nightmares.
Sleep Apnoea: Interrupted breathing during sleep, often associated with snoring, daytime sleepiness, and cardiovascular risk.
Restless Legs Syndrome: Uncomfortable sensations in the legs with an urge to move, often worse at night.
