Sleep terror disorder involves sudden episodes of intense fear during NREM sleep, often accompanied by screaming, sweating, and a racing heart. These episodes typically last for several minutes and occur repeatedly over a period of several months. Nightmare disorder involves disturbing dreams that cause the person to wake up feeling scared or anxious, often with clear recall of the dream. Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis (cataplexy). Hypersomnia refers to excessive daytime sleepiness without sudden sleep attacks or cataplexy.
