  • My bed partner says I frequently kick my legs in my sleep.
  • I frequently act out my dreams, sometimes in a violent manner.
  • I frequently sleep walk or eat in my sleep and have barely any memory of it the next day.
  • I snore at night (or have been told I snore).
  • I wish I had more energy and/or I have difficulty losing weight.
  • I often feel weak or my muscles go limp if I laugh very hard or get very upset, but only for a few seconds to minutes.
  • I often feel awake in bed, but am unable to move my body as if I’m paralyzed.
