Somnipathy, or sleep disorder, 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. A test commonly ordered for some sleep disorders is the polysomnogram. There are several sleep disorders, the most common includes:

• Bruxism, which is involuntarily grinding or clenching of the teeth while sleeping.
• Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) is the inability to awaken and fall asleep at socially acceptable times but no problem with sleep maintenance, a disorder of circadian rhythms. Other such disorders are advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS) and Non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome (Non-24), both much less common than DSPS.
• Hypopnea syndrome is an abnormally shallow breathing or slow respiratory rate while sleeping.
• Narcolepsy is the condition of falling asleep spontaneously and unwillingly at inappropriate times.
• Night terror, Pavor nocturnus, sleep terror disorder are variations of abrupt awakening from sleep with behavior consistent with terror.
• Parasomnias include a variety of disruptive sleep-related events.
• Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) is the sudden involuntary movement of arms and/or legs during sleep, for example kicking the legs. Also known as nocturnal myoclonus. See also Hypnic jerk, which is not a disorder.
• Rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) involves acting out violent or dramatic dreams while in REM sleep.
• Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is the irresistible urge to move legs. RLS sufferers often also have PLMD.
• Shift work sleep disorder (SWSD), a situational circadian rhythm sleep disorder
• Obstructive sleep apnea, involves an obstruction of the airway during sleep, causing lack of sufficient deep sleep; often accompanied by snoring. Central sleep apnea is less common.
• Sleep paralysis is characterized by temporary paralysis of the body shortly before or after sleep. Sleep paralysis may be accompanied by visual, auditory or tactile hallucinations. Not a disorder unless severe.
• Sleepwalking or somnambulism is engaging in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness (such as eating or dressing), which may include walking, without the conscious knowledge of the subject.
  

These sleep disorders can be classified into two broad classifications: dysomnias and parasomnias.

The most common cause of sleep disorders are changes on one's lifestyle, such as shift work change and other drastic changes with sleeping habits. Other problems that can affect sleep are the following:

• Anxiety
• Back pain
• Chronic pain
• Sciatica
• Neck pain
• Environmental noise
• Incontinence
• Various drugs - Many drugs can affect the ratio of the various stages of sleep, thus affecting the overall quality of sleep. Poor sleep can lead to accumulation of Sleep debt.
• Endocrine imbalance mainly due to Cortisol but not limited to this hormone. Hormone changes due to impending menstruation or during the menopause transition years.
• Chronobiological disorders, mainly Circadian rhythm disorders
