In 1985-7 Dr. Schenck and colleagues reported on a new category of parasomnia that they named RBD (REM sleep behavior disorder). In 1996 Dr. Schenck and colleagues first reported that RBD commonly heralds future parkinsonism, thus initiating a major international research effort in this area. Dr. Schenck and colleagues also identified and named Sleep Related Eating Disorder in 1991; formulated the first classification of Sexsomnia (abnormal sexual behaviors accompanying sleep) in 2007; identified Sleep-Related Dissociative Disorders in 1989; identified Status Dissociatus (mixed states of REM sleep, Non-REM sleep and wake) in 1991; identified Epic Dream Disorder in 1995; and identifed and named Parasomnia Overlap Disorder (RBD linked with Sleepwalking and Night Terrors as Non-REM sleep parasomnias) in 1997.

They have published on new sleep medicine forensic categories, including Parasomnia Pseudo-Suicide in 2003. Dr. Schenck and his colleague Mark W. Mahowald, M.D. received the “William C. Dement Academic Achievement Award” from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine in 2007 for their research on the Parasomnias; and they received the Sleep Research Society “Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award” in 2010, andthe “Sleep Science Award” from the American Academy of Neurology in 2017 for their discovery of RBD and for identifying the strong link of RBD with parkinsonian disorders.  Dr. Schenck was Co-Chair of the Parasomnias Committee for The International Classification of Sleep Disorders-2nd Edition (ICSD-2, 2005), and was a member of the Parasomnias Committee for the ICSD-3 (2014).
