Excessive Sleepiness and Narcolepsy

Causes of excessive sleepiness include sleep apnea, Circadian Rhythm Disorders and insufficient sleep. One cause, however, is a brain disorder called narcolepsy. Narcolepsy, caused by an abnormality in the brain's control of the sleeping and waking states, may cause muscle weakness, awakening with a sensation of paralysis, or dreaming while awake. This disorder is treated with a variety of medications.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

OSA causes people to struggle for breath because the passage in the back of the throat falls shut during sleep. This can cause loud snoring.
