Disorders that make it hard to sleep are called parasomnias. In this condition, you are not fully asleep and not waking. Your bed partner might think you’re awake when you move, talk, feel, or act in strange ways while you sleep. Some examples are sleep paralysis, sleepwalking, nightmare disorder, sleep-related eating problems, and sleep terrors.
What are the types of parasomnias and how are they treated?
Non-rapid eye movement (Non-REM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are the two main types of sleep. Some types of parasomnia are in a group called “other.”
Non-REM sleep parasomnia:
During REM parasomnia type, people have these symptoms:
Sleepwalking
Sleepwalkers are frequently awake and moving without realizing it. This usually occurs in late childhood and adolescence. Their eyes are usually open. Sleepwalkers seldom recall walking when they wake up. Sleepwalking often goes untreated until it’s harmful. The sleepwalker may be helped with medicines, notably clonazepam.
Sleep Terrors
Sleep terrors are exactly what they sound like—a person may fight or scream and demonstrate bodily signs of being extremely scared, such as quick breathing, tense muscles, and so on. People who have mental illnesses like sadness, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, or phobic traits are more likely to have sleep terrors, but no one knows why. Benzoyl peroxide and tricyclic drugs might help.
Talking in Your Sleep
Sleep talking is when someone mutters short phrases or whole talks while they are asleep but can’t remember doing it. It can happen in any stage of sleep and is linked to other conditions that make people slightly awake, like REM-related parasomnias and sleep apnea.
Sleep-related Eating Disorder
People with this condition may eat or drink strange or even harmful things, like cigarettes that they have toasted while they are not fully awake. An expert is needed to treat eating problems that are caused by lack of sleep.
REM-related Parasomnias
Sleep Paralysis
When someone has sleep paralysis, they can’t move or open their eyes as they are falling asleep or waking up. Stress, not getting enough sleep, and having unpredictable sleep-wake cycles may all make you have REM-related parasomnias.
Having Nightmares
This involves frequent, intense nightmares followed by concern, wrath, or disgust. These nightmare sufferers may vividly recall their thoughts and have problems falling asleep, unlike sleep terror sufferers. Depending on severity, this condition may be treated with medication, therapy, or both.
