The three major subcategories include intrinsic (i.e., arising from within the body), extrinsic (secondary to environmental conditions or various pathologic conditions), and disturbances of circadian rhythm.<ref>{{Cite MeSH|uid=68020920|name=Dyssomnias|MeSH Unique ID=D020920}}</ref> ** [[Insomnia]]: Insomnia may be primary or it may be comorbid with or secondary to another disorder such as a mood disorder (i.e., emotional stress, anxiety, depression)<ref>{{Cite web |title=Insomnia treatment |url=https://hiburimnamal.co.il/ืืืคืื-ืืืจืืืช/ืืื ืกืืื ืื/ |website=hiburimnamal.co.il |vauthors=Levin NS}}</ref> or underlying health condition (i.e., asthma, diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy or neurological conditions).<ref>{{cite web |date=September 2011 |title=Sleep Disorders and Sleeping Problems |url=http://helpguide.org/life/sleep_disorders.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111205131737/http://helpguide.org/life/sleep_disorders.htm |archive-date=2011-12-05 |website=helpguide.org |vauthors=Smith MA, Robinson L, Boose G, Segal R}}</ref> ** Primary [[hypersomnia]]: Hypersomnia of central or brain origin *** [[Narcolepsy]]: A chronic neurological disorder (or dyssomnia), which is caused by the brain's inability to control sleep and wakefulness.<ref>{{cite web |date=June 27, 2011 |title=NINDS Narcolepsy |url=http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/narcolepsy/narcolepsy.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221134209/http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/narcolepsy/narcolepsy.htm |archive-date=February 21, 2014 |website=National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke}}</ref> *** [[Idiopathic hypersomnia]]: A chronic neurological disease similar to narcolepsy, in which there is an increased amount of fatigue and sleep during the day. Patients who have idiopathic hypersomnia cannot obtain a healthy amount of sleep for a regular day of activities. This hinders the patients' ability to perform well, and patients have to deal with this for the rest of their lives.<ref name="pmid22608642" /> *** Recurrent hypersomnia, including [[KleineโLevin syndrome]] *** Post traumatic hypersomnia *** Menstrual-related hypersomnia ** [[Sleep disordered breathing]] (SDB), including (non-exhaustive): *** Several types of [[sleep apnea]] *** [[Snoring]] *** [[Upper airway resistance syndrome]] ** [[Restless leg syndrome]] ** [[Periodic limb movement disorder]] * [[Circadian rhythm sleep disorders]] ** [[Delayed sleep phase disorder]] ** [[Advanced sleep phase disorder]] ** [[Non-24-hour sleepโwake disorder]] * [[Parasomnia]]s โ A category of sleep disorders that involve abnormal and unnatural movements, behaviors, emotions, perceptions, and dreams in connection with sleep. ** [[Bedwetting]] or sleep enuresis ** [[Bruxism]] (Tooth-grinding) ** [[Catathrenia]] โ nocturnal groaning ** [[Exploding head syndrome]] โ Waking up in the night hearing loud noises. ** [[Night terror|Sleep terror]] (or Pavor nocturnus) โ Characterized by a sudden arousal from deep sleep with a scream or cry, accompanied by some behavioral manifestations of intense fear.<ref>Thorpy, Michael J.

Individuals experiencing jet lag may encounter symptoms such as excessive sleepiness, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, and gastrointestinal disturbances upon reaching their destination. These symptoms arise due to the mismatch between the body's circadian rhythm, synchronized with the departure location, and the new sleep/wake cycle needed at the destination.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Rosenberg |first1=Russell P. |last2=Bogan |first2=Richard K. |last3=Tiller |first3=Jane M. |last4=Yang |first4=Ronghua |last5=Youakim |first5=James M. |last6=Earl |first6=Craig Q. |last7=Roth |first7=Thomas |date=July 2010 |title=A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of Armodafinil for Excessive Sleepiness Associated With Jet Lag Disorder |journal=Mayo Clinic Proceedings |language=en |volume=85 |issue=7 |pages=630โ638 |doi=10.4065/mcp.2009.0778 |pmc=2894718 |pmid=20530317}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Burgess |first1=Helen J. |last2=Crowley |first2=Stephanie J. |last3=Gazda |first3=Clifford J. |last4=Fogg |first4=Louis F. |last5=Eastman |first5=Charmane I. |date=August 2003 |title=Preflight Adjustment to Eastward Travel:3 Days of Advancing Sleep with and without Morning Bright Light |journal=Journal of Biological Rhythms |language=en |volume=18 |issue=4 |pages=318โ328 |doi=10.1177/0748730403253585 |issn=0748-7304 |pmc=1262683 |pmid=12932084}}</ref>
