An episodic disorder of arousal, partial arousal, or sleep stage transition that manifests as abnormal movement or behavior during sleep, such as sleepwalking, sleep terrors, and REM sleep behavior, not a dyssomnia.
Not a disorder of sleep or wakefulness per se; rather, an event happening during sleep, or induced or exacerbated by sleep, such as sleepwalking or asthma; not a dyssomnia.
a disruptive physical act that occurs during slumber
a sleep disorder characterized by partial awakening during sleep
a cluster or pattern of waking behavior that appears during sleep, such as somnambulism (sleepwalking), sleeptalking, and enuresis (bedwetting)
a term used to describe uncommon disruptive sleep-related disorders, such as sleepwalking, sleep talking, and nightmares.
Disorder of arousal, partial arousal or sleep stage transition. It represents an episodic disorder in sleep (such as sleepwalking) rather than a disorder of sleep or wake- fulness per se. May be induced or exacerbated by sleep; not a dyssomnia.
Disorders that intrude into the sleep process and involve physical and behavioral manifestations during arousal, partial arousal, and sleep stage transition. These disorders occur most frequently with children and usually occur in NREM sleep stages. Common parasomnias are night terrors, sleep walking (somnambulism), and sleep-related bruxism (teeth grinding). They are divided into four groups: Arousal Disorders, Sleep-Wake Transition Disorders, Parasomnias Usually Associated with REM Sleep, and Other Parasomnias.
Parasomnia is a broad term used to describe various uncommon disruptive sleep-related disorders. Parasomnias are disruptive sleep-related disorders that can occur during arousals from REM sleep or partial arousals from Non-REM sleep. Parasomnias are intense, infrequent physical acts that occur during sleep. Some common parasomnias include REM behavior disorder(RBD), sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors, nightmares, confusion arousals, teeth grinding, rhythmic movement disorders, sleep paralysis
A parasomnia is any sleep disorder such as sleepwalking, sleep sex, teeth grinding, night terrors, rhythmic movement disorder, REM behaviour disorder, restless leg syndrome, and somniloquy (or sleep talking), characterized by partial arousals during sleep or during transitions between wakefulness and sleep. Parasomnias are often associated with stress and depression, and biological factors may also be involved. Many parasomnias are more common in children than in adults.
