Sleep Profiles in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital
Summary
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder in which you act out dreams during REM sleep. Sleep disturbances are very common in RBD, where they negatively impact patients' quality of life and safety. One of the known causes of sleep disturbance is the impairment of the "circadian rhythm", or the human sleep/wake cycle. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of disruption of the circadian rhythm in the development of RBD.
