Parasomnias

Compassionate and Comprehensive Care for Parasomnias

Parasomnias are a group of sleep disorders characterized by abnormal behaviors, movements, emotions, perceptions, or dreams that occur while falling asleep, sleeping, or waking up. Common parasomnias include sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors, and REM sleep behavior disorder. These disorders can significantly disrupt sleep and impact the quality of life for individuals and their families. Parasomnias can be caused by various factors, including genetic predisposition, stress, sleep deprivation, and certain medications. Understanding the underlying causes and triggers of parasomnias is crucial for effective management and treatment.


Addressing parasomnias involves a comprehensive approach that includes identifying and managing triggers, improving sleep hygiene, and, in some cases, using medication or therapy. Early intervention and proper treatment can help individuals manage their symptoms, improve sleep quality, and reduce the impact of parasomnias on their daily lives. At Vital Psych MD, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care to support individuals with parasomnias, helping them achieve restful and restorative sleep.
