Parasomnias refer to a group of sleep disorders that involve abnormal behaviors, movements, or physiological events (such as nightmares, sleepwalking, and sleep talking) that occur during sleep or during the transition from wakefulness to sleep. Mesosomnias and endosomnias are not recognized sleep disorder categories. Dyssomnias, on the other hand, are sleep disorders that involve difficulties with initiating, maintaining, or timing of sleep, such as insomnia and sleep apnea.
