A sleep disorder , or somnipathy , is a medical disorder of the sleep patterns of a person or animal. Some sleep disorders are serious enough to interfere with normal physical, mental and emotional functioning. Polysomnography is a test commonly ordered for some sleep disorders. Disruptions in sleep can be caused by a variety of issues, from teeth grinding ( bruxism ) to night terrors . When a person suffers from difficulty in sleeping with no obvious cause, it is referred to as insomnia . In addition, sleep disorders may also cause sufferers to sleep excessively, a condition known as hypersomnia . Management of sleep disturbances that are secondary to mental, medical, or substance abuse disorders should focus on the underlying conditions.
