#1 Sleep Paralysis
Many people will experience the feeling of being awake yet unable to move their body or make a sound…this is a form of sleep paralysis. Hallucinations have been known to appear for those who believe their awake, later leading to panic attacks. There is currently no cure for this haunting disorder.
#2 Sleep Apnea
This disorder causes people to suddenly stop breathing while sleeping, and 18 million Americans suffer from this condition! The muscles relax and your breathing passage begins to slowly close if you have obstructive sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea occurs when your brain doesn’t tell your body to continue breathing. Scary right?!
#3 REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
REM disorder causes your body to remain loose while sleeping, causing you to move and react while having a dream. You probably know someone who is a sleep walker…
#4 Exploding Head Syndrome
Bombs, gunfire and doors slamming are all heard by a person who has Exploding Head Syndrome. These are of course imaginary sounds that only the person can hear when they are sleep or awake. Sleep deprivation or disruption causes neural triggers, creating sounds and visions that aren’t really there.
#5 Kleine Levin Syndrome
Sleeping beauty is a guy in real life, as it causes (mostly young boys) to sleep for over 20 hours a day, for weeks at a time! When they are awake and moving around, these boys have high sexual drives and are constantly hungry.
#6 Narcolepsy
People who have trouble sleeping at night and are constantly in a sleepy daze when awake suffer from narcolepsy. This is due to their sleep cycles being disrupted, causing extreme exhaustion. The worst cases ever seen cause people to fall asleep out of the blue, mid-task!
#7 Fatal Familial Insomnia
This rare disorder has been found in only 40 families around the world, and causes mental and physical deterioration due to lack of sleep. Your brain does not know when it should be asleep, therefore you stay up all night. Of course every human needs sleep, so people begin to experience panic attacks, weight loss and mental disturbances. The worst cases have led to death…
