  • A modern classification system, introduced in 1990, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding sleep disturbances.

Purpose:

  • To outline the evolution of sleep disorder classification.
  • To introduce the structure and scope of the modern classification system for sleep disturbances.

Summary:

  • The modern classification details 88 distinct sleep disturbances.
  • These disturbances are primarily categorized into dyssomnia, parasomnia, and sleep disorders linked to psychiatric, neurological, or somatic conditions.
  • This system enhances the practice of sleep medicine and facilitates the study of sleep disorders.
