Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. The sound may be soft or loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Research suggests that snoring is one of the factors of sleep deprivation.
Catatonia can occur at any age, but is most commonly seen in adolescence or young adulthood or in older adults with existing medical conditions. It occurs in males and females in approximately equal numbers. [79] [78] Around 20% of all catatonia cases can be attributed to a general medical condition. [10] [44]
Contrary to snoring which has only formants, catathrenia has also harmonics and show more regular and similar patterns between nights. [9] Onset of groanings: Groanings tend to begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. [10] The ICSD-2 established the age of onset ranging from 5 to 36 years. [11] Consistency from night to night.
Typically, the symptoms of IH begin in adolescence or young adulthood, although they can begin at a later age. [44] [15] After onset, hypersomnia often worsens over several years, [15] but it is often stable by the time of diagnosis and appears to be a lifelong condition. [4] Spontaneous remission is only seen in 10–15% of patients. [30] [45]
One of the most important features of emerging adulthood is that this age period allows for the exploration in love, work, and worldviews, also known as the volitional years. [11] Though the process of identity formation begins in adolescence, most of the formation occurs in emerging adulthood. [1]
Sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea, obstruction of the airway during sleep, causing lack of sufficient deep sleep, often accompanied by snoring. Other forms of sleep apnea are less common. [ 89 ] Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a medical disorder that is caused by repetitive collapse of the upper airway (back of the throat) during sleep.
The theory of Emerging Adulthood was developed by Jeffery Arnett in the early 2000s. The theory is centered around changes often experienced during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. This time period takes place usually between the ages of 18 and 29.
They are differentiated between hypnagogic hallucination, that occur at sleep onset, and hypnapompic hallucinations, which occur at the transition of sleep to awakening. [2] Although normal individuals have reported nocturnal hallucinations, they are more frequent in comorbidity with other sleep disorders, e.g. narcolepsy.
