Sexsomnia, or sleep sex, is a non-rapid eye movement (N-REM) parasomnia. Parasomnias are disorders characterized by partial arousal during sleep or during transitions between waking and sleeping.
People who experience sexsomnia engage in sexual activity while sleeping, though they usually have no memory of their actions once they wake up. The intensity of sleep sex varies, with some sexsomnia victims merely moaning and groping, and others engaging in sexual activity with bed partners or masturbating. At the extreme end of the scale are those who become violent and dangerous during sleep sex. |
