Are you often delirious while sleeping? Or without you realizing it every night, you can't stay asleep because you are demonstrating a dream? If so, you must be careful. This condition can be a sign that you are experiencing brain and nervous system dysfunction. How come? See the explanation below.
Is it often delirious when I sleep?
Delirious sleep is actually natural. However, delirium too often is a dream disorder during sleep caused by a problem with the functioning of your brain. This condition is called Rapid Eye Movemenet (REM) sleep behavior disorder. This disorder is characterized by several signs such as:
- Delirious, talking, babbling in sleep
- Sleep while walking
- Skip from sleep
- Perform various movements such as kicking, punching, or running movements
- You can continue the dream that is cut off when you fall back asleep
All these signs are actually common to everyone, but in people who have this sleep disorder, the signs they experience are quite frequent, even every dream they will do one of these signs.
What causes frequent delirious sleep?
Under normal circumstances, dreams will appear when someone enters rapid eye movement (REM), which is the stage of sleep that usually occurs every 1.5 to 2 hours during sleep throughout the night.
When REM also occurs, your body will make several responses such as blood pressure increases, breathing becomes irregular, and muscles lose their power to move (paralysis). But, calm down this is not dangerous. Instead, at that time your brain is in a very active position.
Meanwhile, in people who have dream disorders, the muscles of the body still do not become stiff (paralysis) so they can be moved easily. So, when the person sees an event in his dream, he will demonstrate the movement that is in his dream.
The exact cause of frequent delirious disorders is not yet known with certainty, but experts reveal that the condition is associated with various nervous system diseases, such as Parkinson's disease.A study published in the journal Frontiers in Neurology, states that if delirious often when dreaming is the initial sign of the risk of dementia disease.
What can be done to overcome frequent delirious sleep?
Although associated with nervous system diseases, but if you do not experience other symptoms that show symptoms of the disease, you do not need to worry. If you want to know your condition with certainty, you can see a doctor.
Meanwhile, dream disorders like this are usually treated by giving a number of drugs such as Clonazepam, a sedative that can make the patient relax during sleep. As many as 90% of cases can be treated with this drug.
But indeed the drug given depends on each of the symptoms you experience. Therefore, if you experience sleep disorders like this then you should immediately consult a doctor.
