Parasomnias in Children

Parasomnias are especially prevalent in young children as the Ipsiroglu survey of Austrian schoolchildren suggests. This survey found that 76% had occasional problems, and 12% had problems every night (the remaining 12% had no problems) (Ipsiroglu 440). Of those with symptoms of sleep disorders, 83% had symptoms indicative of parasomnia (Ipsiroglu 2002)!
