Causes of Inorganic Sleep Disorders

All of these sleep disorders can primarily affect the state of wakefulness, for example, holding your breath (sleep apnea) can gradually lead even to organic dementia syndrome.
Nightmares and horrors in childhood and adolescence can be a source of fantasy and delusions. Changing the rhythm and depth of sleep is almost always combined with the experience of weakness, irritability, decreased performance.
