Hello,
Moaning in sleep is quite common, unfortunately the cause of sleep related moaning is not known. It is not related to any abnormality and there is no abnormal brain activity. There is also no link with any kind of mental disorder.
Down syndrome is not the cause of your brother's moaning. Please try and adjust to the fact that there is hardly anything that can be done to stop this.
I hope it helps. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
