Understanding Parasomnia

Common types include sleepwalking, night terrors, sleep talking, and sleep-related eating disorder. Understanding the specific nature of these occurrences is crucial in developing targeted approaches for management.

Causes of Parasomnia

Several factors contribute to the development of Parasomnia, including genetic predispositions, stress, sleep deprivation, and certain medications. Exploring the root causes can provide valuable insights into effective prevention and management strategies.

Types of Parasomnia

• Sleepwalking (Somnambulism): Sleepwalking involves purposeful movements during non-REM sleep, often triggered by factors like stress. Safety measures are crucial to prevent injury.
• Night Terrors (Sleep Terrors): Night terrors cause sudden awakenings with intense fear during deep sleep. No recollection occurs upon waking.
• Sleep Talking (Somniloquy): Sleep talking is uttering words or sounds during sleep without awareness. Common and usually harmless, it may be linked to stress or medications.
