“…Of all the CSHQ dimensions, the parasomnia score was lower in children with work‐unadjusted parents after school closure, while the score was higher in the group where parents adjusted their work schedules. Parasomnia was defined as “abnormal, unpleasant motor, verbal, and/or behavioral events that occur during sleep or wake to sleep transitions” (Khurana & Carvalho, 2020). The subscale of parasomnia in the CSHQ contains wetting the bed at night, talking during sleep, being restless and moving a lot, sleepwalking, grinding teeth during sleep, awakening screaming, sweating, and being alarmed by scary dreams.…”

Purpose The objective of this study was (1) to examine sleep changes in first graders before and after school closure and (2) to examine the association between parental work rearrangement and children's sleep change during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Design and Methods This was an observational study. The children's sleep habit questionnaire was completed by 103 parents of first‐graders before and after school closure. Paired t‐test and the general linear model were applied to data analysis. Results Children delayed their bedtime and rising time, but total sleep duration increased. Moreover, parents who rearranged their work during the pandemic perceived more child parasomnia symptoms (p = .029) and less delayed sleep‐wake patterns in their children. Practical Implication Sleep is an indicator that reflects children's behavioral changes in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. As routine changes, parents should be aware of child's parasomnia symptoms. Nursing interventions could aim at promoting sufficient external cues in the daytime during home confinement.

Parasomnias are classified separately by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5) and the International Classification of Sleep Disorders-3 (ICSD-3).…”

Background and aim Parasomnias are a group of sleep-related movements or emotions like sleepwalking, sleep talking, teeth grinding (Bruxism), nocturnal enuresis (sleep enuresis), sleep terrors (night terrors), sleep-related eating disorder (SRED), nightmare disorder, REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD), and confusional arousals. Parasomnias are more common in children than in adults. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of different parasomnias among university students in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, it aimed to study the relationship between different parasomnias and gender-associated sleep disorders, mental disorders, and other medical diseases, stress, substance use, and medications. Methods This study is a descriptive cross-sectional survey-based study. The target population for this study is university students from different regions of Saudi Arabia. Parasomnia was defined as having at least one of the 11 disorders (over the past six months). Data was collected through an online survey. The survey was distributed on different online platforms to collect data from other regions of Saudi Arabia. The study took place between August and November 2022. Results Among 1,296 participants, 934 (72.1%) were female, and 1,071 (82.6%) were aged 19-24 years. A total of 1054 (81, 3%) participants reported having at least one parasomnia disorder. The most prevalent parasomnias were sleep talking 656 (50.6%), nightmares 650 (50.2%), and confusional arousals 524 (40.4%). The least prevalent parasomnia was sleep-related eating disorder 98 (7.6%). Among participants, 580 (44.8%) had a family history of parasomnia, 439 (33.9%) were diagnosed with sleep disorders, 296 (22.8%) were diagnosed with mental illnesses, and 92 (7.1%) had other medical diseases. Conclusion Parasomnias are prevalent among university students in Saudi Arabia. Parasomnias were higher in female students and in students with a family history of parasomnia. Parasomnias in adults might be a chronic or recurrent disorder. Parasomnias are significantly associated with psychological stress, depression, and anxiety disorders.
