Types of Sleep Disorders

Last post we already knew about sleep disorder. so now, it's time to talk about the type. :B
Well, there are two main types of sleep disorder, primary and secondary sleep disorder. Ready to discuss? okay, let's start. B)
Primary sleep disorders result from an endogenous disturbance in sleep-wake generating or timing mechanisms, often complicated by behavioral conditioning. The primary type is divided into two, parasomnias and dyssomnias.

Sleep Disorder

Some of my friends call me a nocturnal human. Do you know what nocturnal means? let's see!

nocturnal

adj nocturnal [nokˈtəːnl]

1 active at night The owl is a nocturnal bird.

2 happening at night a nocturnal encounter.

From the definition above we know that nocturnal means active at night, such as owl. So now, if I am called as a nocturnal human, it means that I'm active at night. haha. well, not really. I also do my work, go to school and other activities at bright. But, sometimes it's hard to sleep at night. Many of my friends have the same problem. We active at night because hard to sleep, but then when the day comes the problems come along. Sometimes it's hard to concentrate on what we do, so it's really disturbing because lack of sleep.
