Troy Payne, MD, presents a CME-style discussion on Parasomnias which can occur during REM sleep and non-REM sleep. Non-REM parasomnias disrupt the boundary between wakefulness and non-REM sleep, resulting in nocturnal behavior and autonomic nervous system activation like sleep talking, walking, and eating, night terrors, even sleep driving and more. Non-REM parasomnias trigger sleep deprivation, anxiety/stress, depression, and can lead to brain disorders.
