TEENAGE SLEEP
DISORDERS
Narcolepsy It manifests as shortened rapid eye movement
during wakefulness (REM sleep) with excessive daytime sleepiness,
hallucinations, sudden flaccidity or even paralysis of a muscle group during
sleep(cataplexy), and enhanced daytime sleepiness after disturbed nighttime
sleep because of apneic spells from airway obstruction(apnea-hypersomnia
syndrome).
Insomnia Adolescents are particularly prone to delayed
bedtime (delayed sleep phase syndrome). This as also depression may contribute
to insomnia in around 15 percent of the adolescents.
