Abstract

Sleep is an essential physiological process in human life. When people sleep, numerous cellular reactions occur, develop, and interact. These reactions facilitate bodily repair and regeneration,providing better mental and physical support for the following day. Despite its importance, sleep problems are widespread throughout the population. According to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, 3rd Edition (ICSD-3), released in 2014, sleep disorders are categorized into several types. These include Sleep-related breathing disorders, Central disorders of hypersomnolence, Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, Insomnia, Parasomnias and Sleep-related movement disorders.
