Passage Reading
People could be suffering
sleep disorder,
a condition that interferes with a person¡¦s ability to
sleep normally. There are many different kinds of sleep
disorders but the three most common ones are sleep
apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia. People with sleep
apnea stop breathing sometimes for 10 seconds or longer.
And not just once; it can happen several hundred times a
night! Each time this happens, they wake up and go right
back to sleep so their sleep is constantly interrupted,
but in the morning they don¡¦t remember waking up. They
just feel tired and sleepy. |
