In patients with sexsomnia, videopolysomnography based markers of arousal disorders are intermediate between healthy individuals and patients with other arousal disorders, supporting the concept of sexsomnia as a specialized, but less neurophysiologically severe, NREM parasomnia. Previously validated criteria for arousal disorders partially fit in patients with sexsomnia.
