Listen Later

Sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors - how do they occur and why do some people have them more than others?

Join us as we discuss with Professor Francesca Siclari her work looking at non-REM parasomnias and the link to dreaming. We discuss the various forms that non-REM parasomnias can take, how they differ between adults and children and what the potential consequences of them can be. 

Find out more about Francesca and her research group here.
Here are links to some of the studies:

  • Conscious experiences during non-REM parasomnias
  • Shared EEG correlates between non-REM parasomnia experiences and dreams
  • Consciousness in non-REM-parasomnia episodes
