REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
To understand when it is best to seek care, it helps to know that REM sleep behavior disorder causes a person to physically act out their dreams, with movements, gestures, or vocalizations that normally should not occur during sleep.
Usual manifestations: Sudden movements, kicking, hitting, or talking during sleep, which can cause injuries to the sleeper or their partner.
When to seek care? If these episodes are frequent, intense, or put physical safety at risk, it is reasonable to request a sleep evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the reference professional, and in minors the pediatric neurologist or pediatrician is involved; psychological support can also help. Discussing these symptoms with a professional allows the case to be studied appropriately.
