Types of Parasomnias
Sleep disorders involving unnatural behaviors, movements, perceptions, emotions, and dreams are called parasomnias. These
problems happen during the entire sleep cycle: falling asleep, during sleep stages, and when waking. Parasomnias are typically
“dissociative sleep states…partial arousals”. NREM, or non-rapid eye movement, parasomnias happen in SWS (slow wave sleep).
The autonomic nervous system, cognitive, and motor processes are activated in these parasomnias. Night terrors, sleepwalking
(somnambulism), sleep talking, and confusional arousal (i.e., thrashing, crying, moaning) fall into this category. Read more.
