The Int Class Sleep Dis is the best place to get the full list plus proposed. The American Psychological associations Diagnostic and Statistical manual 4th edition (DSM-4) also includes sleep disorders (including OSA strangely). I suppose this is for the purpose of exclusion of mental disorders which that particular tome primarily deals with. But anyway DSM-IV is where I go when the ICSD isn't handy. From memory it doesn't include the proposed disorders though (but I could be wrong... and I often am).
