The four disorders include insomnia (which involves repeated difficulty in falling or staying asleep, usually due to stress), sleep apnea (which involves breathing stoppages while sleeping due to the collapse of the airway), sleep terrors (behaving in one's sleep as if one is terrified and/or being attacked) and narcolepsy (which involves sudden sleep attacks during the daytime due to genetic abnormalities in the brain stem). Insomnia can be treated using sleeping pills; sleep apnea may require a device to keep the airways open, while certain stimulants can treat narcolepsy.
