Abstract

Parasomnias, unusual behaviours or movement during sleep, can affect any age group but has preponderance in children. It includes many different disorders and can occur in any sleep stage. Most cases are benign and resolve spontaneously and do not require any pharmacological intervention. Nocturnal epilepsy is the most important diagnosis to be excluded.

異態睡眠，通常指睡眠中的行為或活動，可發生在任何年齡階段的病人身上，但以兒童為主。它包括很多不同的異常表現，並且可以發生在任何睡眠階段。大多數病例是良性的，可自發緩解，不需要藥物治療。最重要的是排除夜間癲癇。
