• Narcolepsy, which is a condition that tends to cause excessive sleepiness during the day.
• Shift work sleep disorder (SWSD), which is observed in people working at night or in different shifts. As a result, they often experience difficulty in falling or staying asleep during scheduled sleeping hours and also sleepiness during their scheduled waking hours.
