Sexomnia :Sexo + Insomnio

"Lo veo como una forma de insomnio" dijo en una entrevista. "La gente camina en sus sueños, habla y maneja dormido ... y tambien tiene sexo" Colin Shapiro, M.B., ChB, Ph.D., de laUniversity Health Network in Toronto

SALT LAKE CITY, June 19 — An extreme form of sleep-walking—having sex while asleep—is probably much more common than physicians have previously suspected, researchers reported here. Action Points
Advise interested patients that a range of parasomnias have been described, including walking, talking, and eating during sleep. This study discusses another form—having sex while asleep (known as sexomnia).

Note that this study—based on an Internet survey—suggests that a majority of people with episodes of sexomnia are men, but about 31% are women.

This study was published as an abstract and presented orally at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary as they have not yet been reviewed and published in a peer-reviewed publication.

"The important message is that this is a real entity," said Colin Shapiro, M.B., ChB, Ph.D., of the University Health Network in Toronto at Sleep 2006, the joint meeting of the Sleep Research Society and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.



"I look at it as one form of parasomnia," he said in an interview. "People walk in their sleep, they talk in their sleep, they drive their motorbikes in their sleep, they eat in their sleep, and they have sex in their sleep."
