Is there such word in English ?
Googling returned 883 hits for it.
But when I tried to look for it on One-Look dictionary it didn't return any results...
I don't know where did I get it, but it is in my head.
And want to use it in the same meaning like the below sentence that google presented as a result.
Fizzy Drinks Distrup Children's Sleep...

Thank you Elisa for the reply.
I know "disturb" but I just cannot take "distrupt" out of my head.
I wish I could remember where I had got it.
Maybe from another language, but it looks so English
Did a googling again on "distrupt", 20700 hits. I think I mis-spellt it when I did my first search.
and "distruption" 52700 hits.
but the word is not in any dictionary.

Thanks once again Elisa for sparing your time.
There should be many people out there mis-spelling it.
The meaning that I had in my head is that one.
Quote: 1 a : to break apart |
Can I use it for SLEEP. Like something is disturbed my sleep and caused me to wake up.
->It is disrupted my sleep.
But where did that "t" comes from ?
No need to answer for that, take it as a self-questioning for me.

Yes, that's a perfect sentence in meaning but the tense is not okay.
It should be "It has disrupted my sleep", or, "It is disrupting my sleep", or, "I was disrupted in my sleep (by something)"

Ah! My mistake!
I was thinking passive and started like this but changed the mind in the middle.
Thanks for correction.
