Abnormal behaviors during sleep, such as sleepwalking, sleep talking, dream enactment and nightmares, are referred to as parasomnias. They are generally categorized based on their sleep stage, NREM (non-rapid eye movement) versus REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. This may be assumed based on timing since sleep onset, whether eyes are open or closed, recall and orientation. 

FROM QUARRY FARM FACEBOOK__Six years into The Quarry Farm’s 10-year goal of removing invasive plant species like Amur bush honeysuckle that crowd out native trees and wildflowers, David Seitz has cleared so much of these invasives that it is time to plant trees that will benefit native wildlife. This April, we are planting 850 trees, including species of oak, hickory, serviceberry, buckeye, plum, persimmon, and viburnum. We will supply gloves, tools, and refreshments.
