Parasomnia:
Parasomnias can occur as a p?rson is falling asl??p or at any point in th? sl??p cycl?. If th?y occur whil? falling asl??p, a p?rson may ?xp?ri?nc? disturbing hallucinations or sl??p paralysis, which is wh?n th? body is unabl? to mov? for s?conds or minut?s. Sl??p paralysis can b? quit? fright?ning, ?sp?cially wh?n it occurs with hallucinations.
Parasomnias oft?n run in famili?s and so th?r? is probably a g?n?tic factor in many cas?s. Brain disord?rs may b? r?sponsibl? for som? parasomnias, such as many cas?s of R?M sl??p b?haviour disord?r. Parasomnias may also b? trigg?r?d by oth?r sl??p disord?rs such as obstructiv? sl??p apn?a, and by various m?dications.

Conditions:
R?stl?ss L?gs Syndrom? is th? most common sl??p-r?lat?d mov?m?nt disord?r. Som?, lik? bruxism, ar??xp?ri?nc?d primarily by childr?n, whil? oth?rs may b??xp?ri?nc?d for a short tim? or whil? taking a c?rtain m?dication
