Summary

This study tests a 4-week online course designed to help adults who experience parasomnias—unwanted sleep events like sleep terrors, sleepwalking, and nightmares. The course teaches safety planning, relaxation, and therapy techniques. Researchers will measure whether it reduces how often these events happen and how much they bother participants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: online educational course
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a simple, accessible way for people to manage parasomnias at home without medication.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The course is behavioral, so it may not help severe cases.
