I'm not diagnosed yet but I've had trouble sleeping for years. This sounds a lot like me, just more severe. I sometimes wake up with scratches that I didn't go to bed with. If someone is next to me, they sometimes will tell me, that I kept moving and jumping a bit.

I had sleep study 2 weeks ago it confirmed no REM sleep even though I take 1.5 to 2 mg Klonopin a night (for about the last 10 years). I am so very tired all the time, thought my depression was getting worse so Dr increased my prozac and added then increased wellbutrin. See the neurologist next month, hope I can just take higher dose of Klonopin and get back to sleeping and no more violent nightmares; most doctors I see do not want to prescribe Klonopin at all!

I have suffered from absence of achieving REM sleep for many years. I recall being a preteen and having issues with staying asleep. Now, in my young 60s, I continue to sense that my sleep disorder is worsening.

Hi I have been diagnosed with rem but I am wondering if there are any more day time affects as I get very tired at periods during the day and also suffer from headaches. I also wake up with a muggy head and seem to need extra sleep. I would be grateful for any extra advice as I don't seem to have a lot to go by. Many thanks.
