My mom moans sometimes during nocturnal sleep. She told me that she feels pain and unable to produce any sounds during that time unless and until someone wake her up the episode continues. Is this a sleeping disorder? My mom is very superstitious and she believes this happens because of her few superstitions!

Yes this can happen to some people if they are superstitious/lying down with hand on chest/too much cold enviroment leading the heart to slow its movement, etc. Give her Aconite 30 - twice daily 4 pills for next 2 weeks Continue treatment.
