          Acting Out Dreams: Sleep Disorder A Warning Sign of Parkinson’s Disease

          Researchers are probing into REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a condition where people physically act out their dreams. This parasomnia is more than a nocturnal hazard: research indicates a strong link between RBD and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s.

          Treatment Recommendations for People Who Act Out Their Dreams While Asleep

          REM sleep behavior disorder, or parasomnia, affects more than 80 million people worldwide. The disorder causes sufferers to experience nightmare-like violent dreams. Sufferers act on their dreams while sleeping, often resulting in violent or dangerous sleep behaviors and injuries. Researchers propose new guidelines, including medical and pharmacological recommendations, to help curb symptoms of parasomnia and promote healthier sleep.

          Rare sleep disorder common among veterans with PTSD

          21% of veterans who experience PTSD or traumatic brain injury suffer from a rare sleep condition that affects less than 1% of the general population. The condition, REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), is characterized by an impairment of sleep-related muscle paralysis, causing people to act out dreams during REM sleep. The uncontrolled actions often cause harm to the sufferer of their partners.
