Why Seek Help Immediately?

Parasomnias are arousal disorders that can negatively affect sufferers' lives and place them at-risk for injuring themselves or others while sleeping. Parasomniacs often display "bizarre" behaviors while sleeping such as: backing the car out of the driveway, leaving refrigerator doors open, acting out violently, walking into walls and doors, waking up screaming, and more.

Additionally, it can be linked to other more serious mental and emotional health issues such as depression, stress, and distraction and are usually caused by underlying psychiatric or psychological issues.

So, please don't wait to be asked – take control over your health and well-being and voluntary share your concerns with us by calling, 866-499-1588.

What Are Parasomnias?

The term "parasomnias" refers to a wide range of disruptive sleep-related events. These "disorders of arousal," occur during the deepest stages of non-dreaming sleep, and are most common in younger children. Susceptibility to parasomias often run in families and is generally passed down from one generation to another.

A variety of physical and psychological factors as well as lifestyle choices can cause parasomnias, such as:

• Persistent stress
• Psychological or psychiatric issues
• Caffeine or other stimulants
• Depression
• Mood
• Stressful life events
