Explanation:

Parasomnia refers to a category of sleep disorders that involve abnormal behaviors, movements, emotions, perceptions, and dreams during sleep. Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is a type of parasomnia characterized by walking or performing other complex behaviors while still asleep. It typically occurs during non-REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and can range from simple actions to more complex activities. Individuals who sleepwalk are often unaware of their actions and may not remember the episode upon waking.
