REM Sleep Movement Disorder

Has anyone been diagnosed with this? I haven’t found a group that discusses this specifically and haven’t gotten help for it yet but I know I move during my dreams. It usually wakes me up when it happens. Last night I hit my fist against the mattress while dreaming and it woke me up. My husband saw it happen.

So that's different from Periodic Limb During Sleep?

My wife assures me I have that!

Yes, they are very different.

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder is when you act out your dreams.

PLMD/PLMS are unconscious leg movements at night.

Not what you're looking for?
