Sleep E-mailing: A New Kind of Parasomnia

Parasomnia involved abnormalities as far as weird movements and behaviors are concerned. But as far as the known abnormalities today, it looks like the subconscious mind of people who think they are asleep are not fully snoozing. Some may even find themselves sleep e-mailing, a routine we normally do at work or when we are totally awake.

Seton Hall University researchers document the case of a 44-year-old woman who struggled with severe insomnia for years before she was prescribed the popular sleeping aid, zolpidem (also known by the brand name Ambien), in 2004.

Much of this has been said to be because of stress where people bring the office pressures to their sleep. It can happen and while we think we are in the real world, you may just find yourself wondering why you are getting tons of email replies when in fact you don’t recall sending out anything while you are awake. Add sleep-emailing to the list of new sleep disorders known today folks!
