It occurs mainly in the deepest sleep phase and upon awakening, the person does not know their behavior, because it remains in a state of amnesia about it.

Although not a common pathology, according to studies published by Algonquin College, Canada, it is sometimes considered serious because of its implications.
Clearly it is an involuntary behavior, but sometimes it can generate acts that lead to causes of the judicial type. That is why it is necessary for a doctor to diagnose it, so that it is not considered a pure and simple sexual aggression.
It is important to contact a specialist (psychologist or psychiatrist) when detecting abnormal sexual behavior in the partner or self during sleep. Sleep disorders should be treated promptly, and even more so when it can affect the couple or third parties, as can occur in this case.
There is no reason to be alarmed, the main thing is to understand that it is an involuntary behavior, but it should be treated as soon as possible. Sexomnia is a disorder that is controlled and must carry a treatment prescribed by a specialist; In addition, the support of the couple is indispensable.
