Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sleep paralysis is characterized by a temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or upon waking. This condition is associated with REM (rapid eye movement) sleep but does not involve acting out dreams, which is a hallmark of REM behavior disorder. REM behavior disorder is a separate condition where individuals physically act out vivid, often unpleasant dreams with vocal sounds and sudden, violent arm and leg movements during REM sleep, due to the failure of the body to remain paralyzed during REM sleep as it normally does.
