NREM sleep parasomnias are disruptive sleep-related disorders, such as sleepwalking and sleep terrors. They typically occur in the deepest stages of sleep (N3) and therefore in the first third of the night. Because the higher-functioning cognitive areas of the brain are asleep during an episode, affected individuals often have no memory of the event in the morning.
