• Two studies in rats published on the journal "Brain Research" and a case report of a man with HyperKPP published on the journal "Sleep" suggest that neuronal potassium conductance may influence REM sleep homeostasis. This, in turn, may result in abnormal REM sleep expression.
• Apamin-binding sites are also situated in the brain in areas associated with sleep control, so it appeared of interest to analyse the influence of low doses of apamin on the sleep-waking cycle. ... In the first study (1), the authors administered small doses of apamin into the lateral cerebral ventricle in rats, and characterized the resultant effects on REM-sleep expression. Apamin produced a dose-dependent reduction in REM-sleep expression, followed by small REM-sleep rebounds. In the second study (2), the authors found that apamin induced insomnia and a long-lasting suppression of deep slow sleep and REM sleep. Injected animals showed a late but important rebound of REM sleep. After the recovery of the normal circadian amounts of the sleep-waking stages, the day-night alternation of the cycle still remained disturbed until 96 h after apamin administration. According to the authors, the foregoing study failed to see the compensatory REM-sleep rebound since the animals were recorded for no more than 40 h following injection of the toxin. The authors state that the effects of apamin on sleep are spectacular and that they are certainly associated with a blockade of SK type Ca2+-activated K+ channels since apamin is very specific for SK channels. ...

• Excessive sleepiness and brief daytime sleep episodes are the usual presenting symptoms. The daytime sleep episodes, sometimes called sleep attacks, are not unique to narcolepsy. They can occur with any disorder that causes chronic severe sleepiness including chronic sleep deprivation and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Narcoleptic sleepiness does not differ qualitatively from the sleepiness that occurs in normal persons after sleep deprivation. ...

• Although dream researchers may disagree about the exact correlation between dreaming and REM sleep in general, the fact that SP is about paralysis makes it a REM phenomenon. Part of the normal nighttime cycle of human sleep includes roughly four periods of desynchronized sleep (D-sleep) accompanied by rapid eye movements (REM). ... Some individuals can become aware of this normal state and report the paralysis and other accompanying phenomena. Because the period from being awake, to becoming drowsy and finally moving quickly into D-sleep consists of a very dynamic series of consciousness states, then in addition to the awareness of the normal paralysis the sleeper can experience any number of ideatic phenomena. ...
• <JC> Actually, it would be fair to ask: what causes some individuals (normals, experiencing Isolated Sleep Paralysis) to be aware during normally occurring periods of paralysis associated with REM sleep? That is the million-dollar question. ... One way to an answer would be to say that during REM sleep our brain is closer to being awake than in any other sleep stage, and a segment of the population, or all of us at some point in our lives, are more aware of this particular state than others. ... More specifically, others have reported (Takeuchi et al, 1992) that individuals who experience SP may exhibit sleep onset REM (SOREM) or the ability to slip into REM sleep while bypassing NON-REM sleep stages. ... This grand variable, increased awareness prior to sleep, may be moderated in turn by a variety of culturally diverse sleeping situations and expectations, personality profiles, psychological states, and environmental circumstances. ... The bottom line is this: some individuals maintain self-awareness into sleep processes that are usually unconscious. The insatiable predormittal preoccupation with stressful events increases the probability of self-awareness during sleep. Unfortunately, Isolated Sleep Paralysis has not been researched comprehensively; therefore, much case-study work needs to be done in order to learn basic information about the personality and the environmental context of the sleep paralysis dreamer. ...

• REM Sleep Behavior Disorder: A Neurologic Dissociative Sleep Disorder.
• Our awareness of the complexity of sleep expanded in 1953 with the discovery of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep by Aserinsky and Kleitman. Sleep was no longer considered a homogenous state, but rather a dynamic process of cycling between two distinct states, non-REM and REM sleep. ... Dissociative sleep disorders involve a breakdown of these boundaries (Mahowald and Schenck 1992), and provide a unique window on the neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for each state. Narcolepsy, a disorder of the boundary between wakefulness and REM sleep, is probably the most studied disorder of this nature. The following is a review of another recently described REM sleep boundary disorder called REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). RBD is characterized by the acting-out of violent dreams during REM sleep, often with injurious consequences (Schenck et al. ... As with narcolepsy, RBD involves a dissociation of REM sleep phenomena and their underlying mechanisms, therefore providing yet another opportunity to broaden our understanding of the complexity of sleep. ...
• A brief discussion of REM sleep phenomenology is required before proceeding. REM sleep is characterized by specific phenomena that distinguish it from non-REM sleep and wakefulness (Siegel 1994). ... It remains unclear whether dreaming occurs tonically or phasically in REM sleep. The dissociation of the normal association between muscle atonia and REM sleep is a key component of the pathophysiology of RBD. ...

• The onset of dream-enactment usually occurs after at least the first 90 minutes of sleep, corresponding to the usual time for the first REM sleep period. The behaviors may occur as late as just before awakening in the morning, the time when REM sleep is most prevalent. ...
