*0.01 < p ≤ 0.05; **0.001 < p ≤ 0.01.

^aAge of children, sex and SRS total score were taken as predictive variables, all parasomnias items were included in the regression equation.

Internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and total problems are three important overall subscales of the CBCL.
