Parasomnias & Disruptive Sleep Disorders
What is a Parasomnia?
Parasomnias are disturbing sleep disorders that involve abnormal, unpleasant and often frightful physical events or experiences that disrupt sleep.
A parasomnia can occur before falling asleep, during sleep or while waking. If you have a Parasomnia, you’ll experience abnormal and often violent movements, accompanied by extreme fear.
Parasomnias are grouped by the stage of sleep in which they occur. There are two main stages of sleep – Rapid Eye Movement & Non-Rapid Eye Movement.
Certain Parasomnias occur in the first half of the night, during Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep. Others happen later in the night, during REM sleep.
Parasomnias may cause you to twitch, move around, talk, or do other disturbing things while asleep. Others might think you’re completely awake, but you’re actually totally unconscious. Typically, it won’t be possible to recall the incident.
While Parasomnias are fairly common, they definitely turn getting restful sleep into an arduous task. The unusual sleep behaviors will also disrupt the sleep of other people in your home.
Furthermore, some Parasomnias can be incredibly hazardous due to being completely unaware of your surroundings. They also have negative health-related side effects, such as psychological distress.

Common Parasomnias:
RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease, is a sleep disorder known for its incredibly intense urges for one to move their legs, as well as their arms and body. Those suffering from RLS describe it as a pulling, aching, creeping, throbbing, tugging, itching, burning or crawling sensation.
These episodes normally occur while lying down in bed or when sitting for an extended period of time, such as while driving or while at a show/theatre.
RLS commonly arises in the evening, making it quite a challenge for one to fall asleep. People with RLS will often move around, shaking their legs, or arms, to help alleviate the feelings of discomfort.
SLEEPWALKING
Sleepwalking, also known as Somnambulism, is when you walk around while you’re asleep. It’s a common Parasomnia. It can also include sleep talking or doing normal daily activities around the house.
Normally, Sleepwalking occurs in the early stages of sleep. It has even been known to happen during daytime naps.
NIGHT TERRORS
Night Terrors, also called Sleep Terrors, cause one to abruptly wake up overcome with fear – screaming, thrashing uncontrollably, frantically pacing. This state of terror can last anywhere from 30 seconds up to 15 minutes.
Night Terrors are true to their name, for both the person suffering and for anyone else around during the event.
Most won’t remember anything about their episode the following morning. In certain cases, Night Terrors mix with sleepwalking.
Night Terrors are also associated with:
- Somniphobia
- Chronic Fatigue
- Elevated Heart Rate
- Night Sweats
- Anger & Irritability
Unlike Nightmares, Night Terrors involve little to no dream activity and typically occur in Non-REM sleep.
REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER
Those with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD), will have vivid, often disturbing dreams & act them out while in deep REM sleep.
It differs from Sleep Terrors & Sleepwalking when the affected person is often confused. With RBD, one tends to wake up easily, remembering their dream.
Common observable RBD behaviors include:
- Grabbing / Squeezing
- Punching / Kicking
- Angry Shouting
- Thrashing & Flailing
- Jumping
NIGHTMARE DISORDER
Nightmare disorder is a sleep disorder characterized by frequent disturbing dreams.
The Nightmares – often portraying the individual in a situation of distress – generally occur during the REM stages of sleep, when you’re more likely to dream.
Those afflicted with this Disorder can experience multiple Nightmares in a single night.
This Parasomnia can make it almost impossible to fall back asleep.
SLEEP PARALYSIS
Sleep Paralysis is the sensation of being conscious yet unable to move. Occurring when one passes between the stages of wakefulness and sleep.
During these transitions, one becomes unable to move or speak. This frightening state may last for mere seconds to a few minutes. Some people also notice pressure or a feeling of being choked.
Sleep Paralysis can accompany other sleep disorders, mainly Narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is an overpowering desire to sleep due to a problem with the brain’s ability to regulate sleep.
Parasomnia Symptoms
Aside from the many abnormal sleep behaviors, Parasomnia can also cause other worrisome conditions. Additionally, you may experience:
- Sleep Anxiety
- Emotional & Physical Distress
- Insomnia
- Chronic Fatigue & Exhaustion
- Mood Issues & Irritability
- Headaches & Migraines
Parasomnia can make it difficult to get quality rest. Lack of sleep also increases the risk of accidents and other health relates issues.
Fortunately, certain Parasomnias are very treatable, so it is therefore imperative to your well-being that you seek assistance and guidance for any abnormal sleep behaviors.
Parasomnia Treatment
Psychosomatix offers Parasomnia Treatment that is tailored to each individual case.
This is a natural and holistic self-therapeutic approach for the least toxic method of treating parasomnias.
The ultimate goal is for you to get the restful and peaceful sleep you deserve without having to resort to using sedatives or sleeping pills.
Parasomnia Treatment is always based upon resolving the individual’s root issue.
One frequent cause of developing a Parasomnia is Sleep Deprivation (quantity & quality of sleep). This can be remedied by identifying and eliminating the underlying causes of the Disrupted Sleep/Insomnia.
Other Parasomnia related disorders
Sleep Talking
SLEEP TALKING, or Somniloquy, is another common parasomnia. This is when you speak while asleep. Sleep talking can vary considerably for each person and from night to night. Ranging from indistinguishable mumbling to full conversations. Unlike Sleepwalking, Sleep Talking may occur anytime throughout the night. The words spoken are normally easier understood in the lighter stages of sleep.
Sleep-Related Hallucinations
Also known as HYPNAGOGIC HALLUCINATIONS, these illusions happen as you're about to fall asleep or wake up. Generally, these are brief and straightforward. These hallucinations are so real that one can see, feel & hear what they're experiencing.
Sleep-Related Scratching.
SLEEP-RELATED SCRATCHING is to repetitively gash and scrape the skin during the sleep. This behavior may represent a primary or secondary Parasomnia, depending on whether it is, or is not triggered by either a Dermatological or Systemic Disorder. Scratching occurs during sleep. One may often wake up with bleeding scratches and cuts.
Exploding Head Syndrome
EXPLODING HEAD SYNDROME (EHS) is a sleep disorder in which someone will hear a loud crashing sound or explosion in your head. The sound isn't real, nor can it be heard by anyone else. These episodes typically happen abruptly when you're about to fall asleep or when you awaken during the night.
Sleep-Related Eating Disorder
This condition involves episodes of eating while asleep. People will often have no recollection of the foods they ate. During a sleep-eating episode people will generally consume odd items, such as pet food, or things such as cigarettes, books and cleaning products. Sleep-Related Eating Disorder can be very dangerous, and is associated with certain sleep medications, and with other sleep disorders, particularly Restless Leg Syndrome.
Sleep Bruxism
BRUXISM is a disorder in which you grind, gnash or clench your teeth.. This can occur during the day or at night while sleeping (sleep bruxism). Many don't even realize they have it. Signs and symptoms vary, but normally include: Chipped, Cracked, Sensitive Teeth Face & Jaw Pain Worn down Abraded Teeth, Headaches & Earaches, Dislocated & Locking Jaw, Stripping of Tooth Enamel, Severe Damage Inside Mouth & Cheek.
