(RBD) occurs when the gross motor paralysis typically associated with REM sleep is intermittently absent. As a result, the sleeper may laugh, yell, kick, punch, or engage in other elaborate behaviors as they respond to dream content. RBD-related behavior typically occurs during the second half of the night, when REM periods are more frequent. These behaviors can often be violent or aggressive, and can result in injury to the patient or to bed partners. RBD occurs almost exclusively in older males,76 and is highly prevalent in Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegenerative conditions. In some cases, RBD may signal the onset of one of these neurologic conditions, and may occur years before diagnosis.76,77 In cases of acute onset, RBD has been associated with posttraumatic stress disorder.78 The overall estimated prevalence of RBD is 0.5% in the general population. Treatment of RBD is primarily pharmacologic, although strategies that decrease the likelihood of injury include placing pillows or cushions around the sleeper’s bed, or having partners sleep in another room if behaviors are especially violent, can also be helpful. The pharmacologic treatment of choice is the clonazepam, a sedating benzodiazepine, which has been found to be beneficial for patients with RBD in up to 79% of cases.80 In patients with RBD for whom clonazepam is contraindicated, melatonin has also shown promise in RBD treatment
