Insomnia refers to the chronic inability to sleep or inadequate quality of sleep. Hypersomnia is an alteration in sleep pattern characterized by excessive sleep, especially in the daytime. Sleep apnea refers to periods of sleep during which airflow stops for 10 seconds or more. Narcolepsy manifests as sudden uncontrollable urges to fall asleep during the daytime.
