Cevap
Narcolepsy Type 1 matches with the young woman experiencing cataplexy; REM Sleep Behavior Disorder matches with the older man enacting vivid dreams; Non-REM Sleep Arousal Disorder matches with the young child having sleep terrors with amnesia; and Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder matches with the college student exhibiting a shifted sleep schedule.
Each clinical vignette provides pathognomonic features for specific sleep-wake disorders. Narcolepsy type 1 is defined by cataplexy and sleepiness. REM sleep behavior disorder is characterized by dream enactment due to absent REM atonia. Non-REM sleep arousal disorder (sleep terrors) presents with profound autonomic arousal and amnesia for the episode. Delayed sleep-wake phase disorder involves a shifted but otherwise normal circadian sleep pattern.
