Parasomnia

A parasomnia is any sleep disorder which is characterized by partial arousals during sleep. Stress, depression, and biological factors may also be involved. Many parasomnias are more common in children than in adults.

Parasomnias include

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
Sleep Terror
Sleepwalking (also called Somnambulism)
Tooth-Grinding (also called Sleep Bruxism)
Bedwetting (also called Sleep Enuresis)
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
Sleep Talking (also called Somniloquy)

Many parasomnias, such as sleepwalking, are used as themes in comedy, but can actually have serious consequences.
