Parasomnias are undesirable physical events which occur during sleep, usually presenting as motor phenomena associated with arousal. They are common in childhood and adolescence, and may result in significant distress to the victim and/or family members, and occasionally result in violent and injurious behavior. Extensive study of these conditions has identified a wide variety of underlying conditions, and has permitted the development of a classification system, with indications for evaluation and treatment.
异态睡眠是指在睡眠期间发生的不良身体事件，通常表现为与觉醒相关的运动现象。它们在儿童和青少年中很常见，可能会给受害者和/或家庭成员带来极大困扰，偶尔还会导致暴力和伤害行为。对这些病症的广泛研究已经确定了各种各样的潜在病因，并促成了一个分类系统的发展，以及相应的评估和治疗指征。
