REM sleep is when you go into a deep sleep, but people with the disorder don't become paralyzed while they sleep and they kick and thrash and act out their dreams. They aren't aware they do it.
I finally had to have my own room. Once when he was thrashing all over the bed while asleep I woke him up to ask what he was doing and he said he had a dream that he was running,

I've waken him up so many times and asked him that I don't even do it anymore UNLESS he seems in distress or scared like someone is after him. Does your husband take anything to help him ? Mine takes one of those gummies each night but he still twitches. UGH ! I wish we could afford a 2 bedroom apartment. We live in a retirement community with about 100 apartments and they are real nice. Love where we live. There's activities BUT he won't participate . If he does it's a miracle. Likes to sleep a lot in his Livingroom chair. Thank you for replying. Heading off to bed now. Goodnight...
