Insomnia: sleeplessness or difficulty falling or staying asleep
Hypersomnia: excessive daytime sleepiness and/or prolonged night time sleep * always ‘hungry’ for (more) sleep
Narcolepsy: excessive daytime sleepiness characterized by the brain’s inability to regulate the sleep-wake cycle normally * frequent dream recall, may experience sudden muscle weakness often triggered by a strong emotion such as laughing or being frightened
