- Abstract
Catathrenia (nocturnal groaning) is a rare and relatively little-understood parasomnia. The characteristics of the sound and the recordings are not similar in all the relevant research papers. Indeed, there is currently some discussion regarding whether or not this is a single entity. For some authors, catathrenia is a particular form of parasomnia; for others, it may be a variant of snoring or a respiratory problem. The goal is to establish whether or not catathrenia may be regarded as an expiratory vocal sound. An attempt was made to classify the origin of this sound according to its sound structure.
