message: There is enough information and enough of interest about the phenomenon sleepwalking to have a separate article (IMO).  --Daniel C. Boyer 19:28 19 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:Why is sleepwalking the only sleep disorder that redirects to here? --Miguel 19:24, 17 August 2003 
::Okay, made sleepwalking a seperate article.  I don't know why it redirected to here originally.  The article is rather stubbish, so feel free to expand. —Frecklefoot 14:35, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sleepwalking 

message: Okay, I'm thoroughly confused here. In the common sleep disorders list, Insomnia is like the third one down... but in the Insomnia page, it states: "Many believe that insomnia is a sleep disorder, but it is not. It is a symptom, as insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or 'rest their mind' for more than a few minutes at a time. As opposed to being a sleep disorder, insomnia is most often caused by sleep disorders, though they are not the only causes."
Which is true? Is Insomnia a sleeping disorder, or is it not?

:Of course insomnia is a sleep disorder. JFW | T@lk 10:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Primary insomnia is a sleep disorder.  "Insomnia" is also used to describe difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep due to a whole host of (other) causes.  --Hordaland (talk) 15:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This article should be changed to reflect that then, either that or the Insomnia article should be changed.  This is indeed confusing and should not need resolving via the discussions page  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uberangryghost (talk • contribs) 08:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Can't Sleep 

message: Maybe its worth mentioning SIDs as a "sleep disorder".  But is it really classified as a parasomnia?  "characterized by partial arousals during sleep" - given that it's sudden and fatal, SIDs couldn't involve multiple arousals.  This just seems silly. --Sourcejedi 14:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sudden infant death = parasomnia 

message: I have changed this section to "history" (as it is essentially historical) but it should be expanded to include specific developments in other countries. I need to find out the UK situation, but to my knowledge it is vastly underdeveloped in this country. JFW | T@lk 10:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it back. I ain't done with it yet.  Hope to make it eventually worldwide and current, then move the section to Sleep medicine. (And my OR shows that it varies widely from place to place in UK.  Some districts happily send patients to London, some don't!) --Hordaland (talk) 15:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I think that I counted six "more" and one "less" but only two "than". Shouldn't "möre" and "less" be always comparative ?  Jclerman (talk) 14:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Always?  Often implied, as in "For more information, see ..."  But I fixed a couple, both mine and others'.---Hordaland (talk) 17:43, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a disorder, I believe, were the sleeper wakes and is fully conscious but is not yet able to move.  Any one know what this one is?  Should it be added?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.250.50 (talk) 10:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That is called sleep paralysis.  It is relatively common.  It can be, but doesn't have to be, a symptom of a disorder.  I experience it a few times a year, and I've found it interesting, not scary.  Some people find it scary.  It is already mentioned in the article.  --Hordaland (talk) 10:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Awake but unable to move

message: There is no mention of specific medicinal treatments and their effectiveness. A possible addition would be a study on melatonin, which would fit under a subheading under treatment for "Specific medicinal treatments." The link is hereFerracioli-Oda E, Qawasmi A, Bloch MH (2013) Meta-Analysis: Melatonin for the Treatment of Primary Sleep Disorders. PLoS ONE 8(5): e63773. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0063773
I am trying to include information about Melatonin but I'm not sure whether I should include it under Treatments (where hypnosis is) or under medicine? It's more like a sleep vitamin... Any advice? Hannahsandy (talk) 14:00, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Melatonin is a hormone and not at all a vitamin; it is produced in our brains at specific times of day/night.  It happens to be available OTC in the US (& Canada) because the US FDA considers it a "food supplement", which is ridiculous.  In most or all other countries it is considered a drug and requires a prescription if it is available at all.  --Hordaland (talk) 06:27, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Treatment

message: There is no mention of how treatments are performed to reach an ideal amount of sleep for each age. A chart with this information would fit under a subheading under treatment for "Recommended amount of sleep."

thread_title: Treatment

message: I'd like to suggest Comorbidities as a separate and distinct section, as well as distinct subheadings that clarify whether the Comorbidities apply to adult or child and adolescent populations. The following study is a review of medical comorbities in children with sleep disorders from 2012, which would get one section started, though more citations would be necessary. Lazaratou, H., Soldatou, A., & Dikeos, D. (2012). Medical comorbidity of sleep disorders in children and adolescents. Current opinion in psychiatry, 25(5), 391-397.

thread_title:  Comorbidities 

message: I suggest adding an Epidemiology section to this article to describe the prevalence of various sleep disorders based on different populations. My sandbox has what I'm planning on adding to the article. So far, there are subsections on youth and young adults, insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, sleep paralysis, and restless leg syndrome.  I have been sticking to meta-analyses/systematic reviews and found the best quality of information on the previously listed topics.  Let me know if there are more possibilities for me to add.
