Sleep-related eating disorder is a parasomnia that causes individuals to eat while asleep. This disorder is often associated with other sleep disorders, such as sleepwalking or night terrors. REM sleep behavior disorder involves acting out vivid dreams during REM sleep, which is different from sleepwalking. Narcolepsy involves excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks, which is also different from sleepwalking. Sexsomnia involves engaging in sexual activities while asleep, which is not related to Audrey's symptoms.
