Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome

This is the sudden unexplained death of a young adult during sleep. Autopsy and clinical findings are both unable to determine the cause of death. The person will likely suffer from labored breathing, choking and gasping, but the problem is not sleep apnea. Sometimes the heart muscle has been detected to go into fibrillation (or spasm). Southeast Asian men ages 25 to 44 are most likely to suffer from this problem, but it is unknown if this disease has a genetic basis. Many Asian languages have words for this problem.

This disorder is in the group known as other parasomnias.
