# The ICSD categorizes sleep disorders into seven major categories based on their clinical features, underlying pathophysiology, and etiology. These categories include: | |||
# Insomnia disorders: This category includes disorders in which individuals have difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or experience non-restorative sleep. This category includes disorders such as insomnia disorder, hypersomnolence disorder, and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders. | |||
# Sleep-related breathing disorders: This category includes disorders in which individuals experience abnormal breathing during sleep, such as snoring, sleep apnea, and central sleep apnea. | |||
# Central disorders of hypersomnolence: This category includes disorders in which individuals experience excessive daytime sleepiness, such as narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, and Kleine-Levin syndrome. | |||
# Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders: This category includes disorders in which individuals have disturbances in their sleep-wake cycle, such as delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, advanced sleep-wake phase disorder, and irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder. | |||
# Parasomnias: This category includes disorders in which individuals experience abnormal behaviors during sleep, such as sleepwalking, sleep terrors, and REM sleep behavior disorder. | |||
# Sleep-related movement disorders: This category includes disorders in which individuals experience abnormal movements during sleep, such as restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, and bruxism. | |||
# Other sleep disorders: This category includes disorders that do not fit into the other categories, such as sleep-related dissociative disorders, sleep-related epilepsy, and sleep-related hallucinations. | |||

Each disorder within these categories is further defined by specific diagnostic criteria, such as symptoms, frequency, duration, and associated features. The ICSD also provides guidance on the evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders, as well as recommendations for future research. | |||
==Usage== | |||
The ICSD has been widely accepted as the standard for the diagnosis and classification of sleep disorders. It is used by clinicians, researchers, and regulatory agencies to ensure consistent and accurate diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. The use of a standardized classification system like the ICSD improves the quality of sleep research and patient care by facilitating communication and comparison between researchers and clinicians across different geographic regions and cultures. | |||
