Sleep disorder has its own medical term too. It's Somnipathy. A disorder in our sleep patterns.
Sleep disorders include: Bruxism, a delayed sleep phase syndrome; insomnia desynchronosis, night terrors, rapid eye movement behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnea; sleep paralysis, sleepwalking and snoring.
Treatments for sleep disorders generally can be grouped into three categories: behavioral/ psychotherapeutic treatments, medications, and other somatic treatments. These general approaches however are not enough for all patients with sleep disorders. Especially not mine!!
Did you know that the choice of a specific treatment depends on the patient's diagnosis, medical and psychiatric history, preferences and the expertise of the medical professional. You have more power than you know.
In general, medications and somatic treatments provide more rapid symptomatic relief from sleep disturbances.
On the other hand, some emerging evidence suggests that treatment gains with behavioral treatment of insomnia may be more durable than those obtained with medications.
Some sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, are best treated pharmacologically, whereas others, such as chronic and primary insomnia, are more amenable to behavioral interventions.
The management of sleep disturbances secondary to mental, medical, or substance abuse disorders should focus on the underlying conditions.
For most sleep disorders, behavioral/psychotherapeutic and pharmacological approaches can be combined to maximize therapeutic benefits. Professional advice should be obtained prior to any medications, herbal remedies or ideas etc.
