What is Non Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Arousal Disorder?

This video describes Non Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Arousal Disorder. This disorder can be divided into two subtypes: sleepwalking and sleep terrors. The sleepwalking subtype is an episode of incomplete arousal usually occurring in the first 1/3 of the night. This episode is characterized by walking around and engaging in simple, routine behavior. Typically, an individual is difficult to wake up during an episode. The sleepwalking episodes are not associated with dreaming and amnesia is observed afterward. The sleepwalking subtype has two specifiers: sleep-related eating behavior and sleep-related sexual behavior (sexsomnia). Sleep related eating is more common in females. Sleep related sexual behavior is more common in males. The sleep terror subtype usually starts with a scream or cry from the perspective from an observer. Sleep terror subtype episodes are also referred to as night terrors.

I knew I liked your channel for a reason. Needed to do some research and you popped right up.

Thanks Dr Grande. I am close to have a consult with a sleep specialist to treat my sleep behaviour disorder which I've had for around 20 years. This follows recent violence again where my wife has been hit and on an other recent night, I leapt out of bed and fractured 2 ribs.
Have suffered some nasty injuries during the 20 years and hurt my wife multiple times. Other times, quite funny things have happened in bed like swimming and riding a bicycle up hill . But frightening your partner at night is the worst besides self harm, so something has to be done. I have sleep apnea and use a cpap. There is evidence that there is a link between sleep apnea and sleep disorders. That the drop and snap back in O2 may actually trigger episodes. Age and sex are
Contributing factors, male, 50 plus. I'm 67.

I had a dream about doing pushups once and I almost couldn't go to work in the morning because I overworked my pecs in my sleep

Sexsomnia is absolutely real and it ruined and embarrassed me many times. It’s awful.

Is NREM sleep the difference between Narcolepsy and Idiopathic Hypersomnia?

What if they have their eyes open but very verbally abusive and sometimes physical. What can the other person do. My husband does this ... its almost a jeckel and Hyde persona... but yet he doesn’t even remember when he is awake! What are the do’s and donts?
