Not Otherwise Specified
Parasomnias Not Otherwise Specified is
the name of our usual miscellaneous category, in this case for
sleep disorders. For example,
Sleep Paralysis is a condition wherein the victim cannot move
during either the period just before falling asleep or just after
awaking. It may be accompanied by feelings of intense fear or
impending death. Another condition involves violent motor activity
during sleep. Finally, there are sleep difficulties that the
examiner just cannot place in any more specific category.
