A member asked:

My boyfriend has very agitated nights, kicking and talking every nights. he had it all his life and is in his mid thirties. is it rem sleep disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best to get exam: He may have restless leg syndrome and he probably needs to see a doctor or a neurologist to be examined well. People with RLS don't feel they get good night sleep.
