atonia
As a result, motor neurons are not stimulated, a condition known as REM atonia.

They can also decrease muscle atonia associated with REM sleep and consequently dissociate REM sleep.

At least in mammals, a descending muscular atonia is seen.

The atonia of REM does prevent one from getting out of bed and acting out dreams, but small bodily movements in REM are common.

The neurological process behind the lesion impairs pathways controlling the normal inhibition of muscle tone drop, consequently resulting in muscle atonia.

In contrast, RBD patients had a higher percentage of REM sleep without atonia, but a lower REM density than patients with narcolepsy and normal controls.

Based on a threshold of 80 percent for percentage of REM sleep with atonia, 50 percent of narcoleptics and 87.5 percent of RBD patients had abnormal REM sleep muscle activity.

Persons with narcolepsy, however, have a high frequency of REM sleep without atonia and of elevated EMG phasic density, according to a study published in the July 1st issue of the journal SLEEP.
From the sciencedaily.com
In his research, Dr. Montplaisir discovered that higher percentages of REM sleep without atonia, phasic EMG activity and REM density were found in patients with narcolepsy than normal controls.

- Atonicity: lack of normal muscular tension or tonus
- In medicine, atony (or "atonia", or "atonic") refers to a muscle that has lost its strength. It is frequently associated with the conditions Atonic seizure, atonic colon, uterine atony, gastrointestinal atony (occurs postoperatively) and choreatic atonia.
- Lack of muscle tone
