MORE ON THE TOPIC
e). Nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder (NSRED).
Also known as sleep eating, this is a type of sleepwalking that’s closely tied to a person’s conscious wants and desires for food.
It’s considered to be both a sleep disorder and an eating disorder because the person is fulfilling a desire they suppress while they’re awake. Like with sleepwalking, the person doesn’t realize they’re eating and they can’t remember any of it the next day.
f. Night terror.
The difference between a night terror and a nightmare is that a night terror involves specific actions. Night terrors involve screaming, panic, sleep walking and thrashing around on the bed.
Like most sleep disorders, it’s believed to be congenital. However, no one understands why it happens other than the fact that it gets inherited and it’s mostly children who experience it.
g). Exploding head syndrome.
This painless syndrome involves a person hearing an explosive noise before they fall asleep. It can sometimes feel like an explosion is taking place inside the person’s head.
It’s considered a type of sleep disorder and an unusual type of hallucination that happens to people who are in between being asleep and awake. The causes are unknown.
h). An out-of-body experience (OBE).
While this isn’t a sleep disorder, it’s still interesting to note. An OBE involves the feeling of “floating” or “observing” one’s body from the outside.
Out-of-body experiences are unrelated to sleep disorders. Researchers classify it as a dissociative experience with psychological and neurological causes. It has nothing to do with the “spirit” leaving the body, and it’s most likely due to a temporary brain malfunction (Hines, 2003).
