RBD

RBD, or Rapid Eye Movement Behavior Disorder, is a sleep condition where individuals act out their dreams, often violently. Unlike typical dreaming, where the body is in a state of paralysis, those with RBD can physically move, resulting in potentially dangerous behaviors, such as kicking or shouting. This disorder can be linked to neurodegenerative diseases. It typically affects older men but can occur in anyone. Diagnosis usually involves a sleep study, and treatment may include medication and making the sleep environment safer. Effective management is essential to prevent harm to the individual and their sleeping partner.
