With the term Parasomnia ( Greek παρά , pará , “at”, “in”, “during”, “next to” and Latin somnus , “the sleep”, results “occurring during sleep”) undesirable and inappropriate behavior problems, which predominantly result from occur out of sleep.

It can happen that the sleep process is interrupted and sleep is no longer restful.

In childhood, these sleep disorders occur, among other things, due to a temporary malfunction of the brain and are usually to be regarded as harmless. In adulthood, the parasomnias are usually more complex and characterized by abnormal behavior, so that in certain cases they require medical clarification. Especially when these sleep disorders occur regularly, the health of those affected and those in the vicinity are endangered. In the case of a prohibited act in a proven parasomnic episode, there may be incapacity .

Scientific research suggests that increased postcentral gyrus activity during deep sleep can trigger parasomnia.

classification

Parasomnias can be classified using various diagnostic classification and encryption systems, such as the "International Classification of Sleep Disorders " published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) or the ICD-10 , the "International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems ”, which is available in the tenth revision (2011).

A special form of sleepwalking is the so-called sexsomnia , in which the affected person carries out sexual acts in non-REM sleep and usually has amnesia for these acts after waking up.

Demarcation

Since 2005 there has been a revised version of the ICSD-R, the ICSD-2 , which differentiates some phenomena and disorders that can occur during sleep from the generic term parasomnia:

There bruxism is assigned to the so-called “sleep-related movement disorders” and the various “sleep-related breathing disorders” such as obstructive sleep apnea form a separate group of sleep disorders in the ICSD-2.

The disorders of falling asleep and staying asleep ( insomnias ), hypersomnias (e.g. narcolepsy ) and circadian sleep-wake rhythm disorders (e.g. jet lag ) each form their own subgroups of sleep disorders in the ICSD-2.

Phenomena such as speaking during sleep ( somniloquia ), twitching to sleep and (compensated) snoring are normal variants with no disease value. They are classified in the ICSD-2 under "Isolated symptoms, obvious norm variants and unsolved problems".

The syndrome of sudden unexpected death during sleep ( sudden unexpected death during sleep , SUDS) has been described (mainly Filipino) descent, especially in young men of Asian. It occurs in families and, according to current knowledge, is caused by ventricular fibrillation ( sudden cardiac death ). It is not a parasomnia, but a physical disease that is classified in Appendix A of ICSD-2.
