• Sleep Disorders.
• Primary Sleep Disorders are those Sleep Disorders which are not primarily due to another mental disorder, a general medical condition or a substance. They are often influenced by habit and conditioning and appear to be disturbances in the sleep-wake generating or timing mechanisms.
• Dyssomnias are disorders in the quantity, quality or timing of sleep.
• Parasomnias are characterized by unusual behavioral and/or physiological events that limit sleep, interfere with certain stages of sleep or disrupt the sleep-wake transition.
• Other sleep disorders may be related to another mental disorder, related to a general medical condition, or substance-induced.
