Abstract

Sleep is not given due importance unless one suffers from any one type of a sleep disorder. The current paper reviews the prevalence of sleep disorders. There is very low awareness about sleep disorders and their disastrous consequences in the Indian population. These consequences include impairment in physical, psychological and lack of neurodevelopment progress. Common methods to assess sleep disorders prevalence in large population groups have been discussed. This review also includes a special mention of sleep disorders in the intellectually disabled population. Our review finds that the prevalence of sleep disorders in this population is significantly high and comparable to the normal population. Sleep issues in intellectually disabled population present dual consequences. Not only sleep issues hamper the growth of persons suffering but unfortunately even the caregivers are also affected by this issue. Sleep disorders in the mentally challenged population are less studied since the person suffering has difficulty in reporting it. Our literature review reveals the fact that sleep issues are prevalent globally and they especially affect the intellectually disabled population. The review also discusses ancient history on sleep & intellectually disabled population.
