Dyssomnia refers to any sleep disorder that involves difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or excessive sleepiness during the day. Therefore, it is correctly paired with "a sleep disturbance."

Option C is incorrect because the described sleep disturbance is a type of insomnia, not a parasomnia.
