Sleep-Related Behavior Disorders

Sleep-related behavior disorders are a group of conditions that involve abnormal behavior during sleep.

These disorders affect an individual's quality of sleep and overall well-being

In sleep-related behavior disorders, individuals may act out vivid, often unpleasant, dreams with physical movements and vocalizations, sometimes resulting in injury to themselves or their sleeping partner. Some common sleep-related behavior disorders include REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), sleepwalking, and sleep terrors. 

Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.

Symptoms

Sleep-related behavior disorders are a group of conditions that involve abnormal movements or behaviors during sleep, which can result in injury or disrupted sleep for the individual or their bed partner. Symptoms of sleep-related behavior disorders include:

  1. Talking, shouting, punching, or kicking during sleep
  2. Getting out of bed and walking around while still asleep
  3. Intense episodes of fear, screaming or thrashing while still asleep
  4. Acting out dreams during REM sleep
It's important to know these symptoms because sleep-related behavior disorders can be dangerous and lead to injury, both for the person with the disorder and their bed partner.
Diagnosis

How diagnosis is made?

Sleep-related behavior disorders can be diagnosed and treated by a sleep specialist. It's important to diagnose sleep-related behavior disorders because they can lead to injury, poor quality of life, and interfere with daytime functioning.

Diagnosis typically involves a review of medical history, sleep history, and a physical exam.

Polysomnography

Overnight sleep study to measure brain waves, heart rate, and breathing.

Video recording

To capture and observe behavior during sleep.

Patient interview

To obtain information from the patient or bed partner about the behavior.
