Disorder causing poor sleep (5)

I believe the answer is:

apnea

(Other definitions for apnea that I've seen before include "that'll make you catch your breath?" , "stopping breathing in US" , "Cessation of breathing during sleep (US spelling)" , "Loss of breath" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
