This is really interesting, I have a few friends who see "demons" and such during the day, apparently this is not schizophrenia, which is only voices, but is probably related to blood-sugar levels as both people are diabetic.
just for the record, schizophrenia isn't just voices. it is a hallucination of any of the senses. but that's only one symptom, you have to have other symptoms to be diagnosed with schizophrenia, and declined functioning for a period of time (6 months in australia/US, less in the UK).
it's hard to distinguish whether some paranormal activity is real or a product of mental illness/sleep disorders... but if the 'hallucinations' occur without other symptoms, you could say they may be real.
sorry this is a bit off topic, just highlighting that it's important to stick to strict diagnostic criteria when pondering if your experiences are real or imaginary
(in saying that, sometimes i don't know whether mental illness is 'real' or made up to put people in boxes... anyway...)

Just a question.
Does the sleep disorder make you see demons or does seeing demons make you think you have a sleep disorder?
It's the people who don't want us to know about "demons" that make us think we have a "sleep disorder".
It's sort of like how paedophiles fabricated "false memory syndrome".
