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.
