Rörelser eller beteenden som hänger samman med sömn, sömnstadier eller delvist uppvaknande och som kan försämra upprätthållandet av sömnen. Parasomnier delas i allmänhet in i fyra grupper: uppvaknandestörningar, sömn-vakenhetsstörningar, parasomnier i REM-sömn och icke-specifika parasomnier.
Movements or behaviors associated with sleep, sleep stages, or partial arousals from sleep that may impair sleep maintenance. Parasomnias are generally divided into four groups: arousal disorders, sleep-wake transition disorders, parasomnias of REM sleep, and nonspecific parasomnias.
