Sleep disorders are relatively common, and these include garden variety insomnia, depression, panic attacks, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, periodic limb movements in sleep, REM sleep disorder, and narcolepsy with hypnogogic hallucinations. Any of these conditions could prompt irregular sleep. See a sleep specialist and do an overnight monitored study.

How do you know if you are going into REM sleep. I do not feel like I am, I wake multiple times a night, have trouble falling asleep, I'm tired, weak.
