Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NREM sleep disorders, such as sleepwalking and sleep terrors, are characterized by disorientation and difficulty with arousal. The person may appear to be awake, but is actually in a deep stage of sleep and is difficult to rouse. Vivid memories of episodes are more commonly associated with REM sleep disorders, such as nightmares. Easiness and constant arousal from sleep and continuous insomnia are not typical of NREM sleep disorders.
