Parasomnias - Arousal Disorders Information - The Parasomnias are
disorders that intrude into the sleep process and create disruptive
sleep-related events. These behaviors and experiences occur usually while
sleeping, and are most often infrequent and mild. They may happen often
enough or become so bothersome that medical attention is required.
-
Parasomnias - The parasomnias consist of clinical disorders that are
not abnormalities of the processes responsible for sleep and awake states
per se, but rather, are undesirable physical phenomena that occur
predominantly during sleep.
-
Sleep Terror Disorder - When a person awakens from a dream crying or
screaming, they may be experiencing sleep terror disorder. Usually the
person is difficult to wake-up and the episode may last several minutes.
Once awakened, the individual is confused and finds it difficult to relay
the detail of his/her dream. Sleep terror usually only occurs once per
night. Psychnet-UK.
-
Sleepwalking Disorder - A person experiencing sleep walking disorder
will get out of bed and walk around during the night. Many times, the
person will not communicate and will have a blank stare on their face.
Once awakened, the person seldom remembers the details of the sleep
walking episode. Psychnet-UK
