description Paroxysmal events during sleep can be classified into parasomnias, sleep-related movements, psychiatric events, neurologic events, or medically related events. Diagnosis can be difficult because of the frequent overlap of clinical descriptors and lack of diurnal findings.

We discuss overlapping clinical features of nocturnal panic and sleep-related epilepsy.
