Dr Advait Kulkarni (Neurologist in Bengaluru) If you have a parasomnia, you might move around, talk, or do unusual things during sleep. Other people might think you’re awake, but you’re actually unconscious. You typically don’t remember the incident. Parasomnia symptoms Aside from the unusual behaviour during sleep, parasomnia can cause other symptoms. You might: • wake up confused or disoriented • wake up wondering where you are • not remember doing certain activities • find unfamiliar cuts on your body • have difficulty sleeping throughout the night • feel daytime sleepiness or fatigue
