  1. This was a very small sample size.
  2. I’m curious what the data also says about the percentage of people with the studied brain maladies also physically acting out their dreams prior to showing other symptoms.

Let’s say 10% of the population will eventually get one of these conditions, but only 1% of the population physically acts out dreams, then that explains only 10% of the attributes that correlate to these conditions.

This is the truth. I suspect this is only part of the equation and to boldly tell anyone who sleep walks theyve for sure got a terminal neuro degenerative disorder is a bit of a leap.

This falls into the 'warrants further research' category of information.

It’s potentially very useful for those who sleepwalk and maybe tells researchers they need to evaluate these conditions more seriously to understand true vectors of disease.
