It is a medical condition that adversely affects the students ability to
function and impinges on their study programme. You have summarised it

Subject: Sleep Apnea/Insomnia
Hi,
Does anyone have a view on whether Sleep Apnea/Insomnia would constitute
a disability? The combination of this and the medication that the
student takes causes him to be very drowsy and he sometimes then
oversleeps, meaning he misses morning lectures....
