Description

Health Canada reviewed the potential risk of SW and SRED with the use of atypical antipsychotics, following the publication of a case report describing these events in a patient treated with ziprasidone. Sleep walking is a sleep disorder that causes people to get up and walk or do other complex actions while asleep. Sleep-related eating disorder is a variant of SW in which people get up frequently to eat and drink while asleep.
