Sleep may be hindered by environmental factors, such as sleeping in an unaccustomed place, noise, heat, cold, or an uncomfortable bed

Conversely daytime somnolence can result from hypothyroidism, uremia, CO2 retention, increased intracranial pressure, and various encephalopathies

Dementia can cause disturbed sleep as a result of nocturnal confusion, wandering, and hallucinations.
