Please tell me more why movement during REM stage is a serious issue ?
I had SD and used to jump out of bed sometimes falling
I take 5 mg Melatonin and it has stopped However I do talk aloud in my sleep and my husband says I have a tremor
This is usually in the morning after 5 or more hours sleep

If it's occurring during the REM stage, it can be caused by medications, stress, untreated sleep disorders, to name a few. It can also be caused by forms of dementia and other brain disorders. The only way to even determine if it is REM sleep disorder is by having a sleep study. Its more likely something less serious. The issue is our brain is designed to paralyze our bodies when we sleep so that we don't hurt ourselves while dreaming.
