Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

REM behavior disorder is a condition where the muscles are not paralyzed during REM sleep, allowing the person to act out their dreams. This can result in violent movements and thrashing around during sleep. Restless legs syndrome is an uncomfortable sensation in the legs that causes an urge to move them, but does not involve acting out dreams. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. Sleep apnea involves brief interruptions in breathing during sleep, and does not typically involve violent movements or acting out dreams.
