There's not enough info in the report for me to say much. I know with narcolepsy, it's not so much rapid onset of REM sleep in narcolepsy as almost immediate REM when I fall asleep. Because my sleep border is thick, I am often aware of myself falling asleep & am aware of starting to dream. The dreaming will often start before I'm fully asleep.
This 'may' be different than what's called rapid onset - I don't know. Would have to learn more to understand better. So far, although I take both Provigil & Dexedrine to help me stay bright & alert in the daytime, nothing seems to change my sleeping profile at night. And I still awaken many mornings feeling groggy, but not really 'unrefreshed'.
