Parasomnia refers to a group of sleep disorders that involve abnormal movements, behaviors, emotions, perceptions, or dreams that occur during sleep. Nightmares, sleep terrors, and sleepwalking are all examples of parasomnias. These types of parasomnias typically occur during early to mid-childhood. Narcolepsy, dyssomnia, and hypersomnia are not specific to early to mid-childhood and do not typically involve abnormal behaviors during sleep.
