Unwanted behaviors and experiences during sleep, including sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors and exploding head syndrome. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article classes it as a sleep disorder or parasomnia. Every member sits in the Psychology Atlas as its own page with a definition, cited sources and links to related effects, so the group works as a reading path through Parasomnias rather than as a claim that the members share one cause. Where scholars disagree about how an effect should be classified, the member page says so.
