Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by dream\u2010enacting behavior (shouting, punching, and falling out of bed) related to unpleasant dreams and loss of normal rapid eye movement (REM) sleep muscle atonia. Rapid eye movement sleep enhances learning and memory by regulating neuronal synapses, and if it is undesirable, it can lead to cognitive impairment and poor academic performance and may end up with death. To the best of our searching databases, there is no such study conducted in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study is aimed at determining self\u2010reported symptoms of RBD and its associated factors among the University of Gondar medicine and health science students (2019). <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. We conducted a cross\u2010sectional study from June 1 to July 2019, among medicine and health science students at the University of Gondar using a simple random sampling technique. A self\u2010reported RBD screening questionnaire was used to collect the data. We used Epi Info\u2122 7.0.8.3 and Stata 14 for data entry and statistical analyses, respectively. Descriptive statistics (frequency with percent and mean with standard deviation) and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% uncertainty interval (UI) were computed. In a multivariable binary logistic regression, variables with a <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05 were declared as significant. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Three hundred and eighty\u2010seven students took part in the study. The mean age of participants was 20.81 (\u00b11.83) years. The prevalence of self\u2010reported RBD was 46.25% [95% UI (41.26%\u201051.24)]. Physical exercise immediately before sleep (AOR = 2.50, 95% UI (1.24\u20105.02)), using Facebook immediately before sleep (AOR = 1.93, 95% UI (1.18\u20103.15)), having daytime sleepiness (AOR = 1.92, 95% UI (1.16\u20103.19)), and self\u2010reported depressive symptoms (AOR = 2.40, 95% UI (1.45\u20103.99)) were significantly associated with self\u2010reported RBD. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The current study revealed a high prevalence of self\u2010reported RBD. This remarkable problem suggested a need to design strategies to prevent RBD symptoms among university students through targeting screening of depression, daytime sleepiness, and adjusting bedtime routines such as physical exercise and internet use immediately before going to bed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/1810836","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,16]],"date-time":"2020-05-16T00:00:34Z","timestamp":1589587234000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Self\u2010Reported Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disturbance and Its Associated Factors among Medicine and Health Science Students at the University of Gondar"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2397-5930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Baye","family":"Dagnew","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7161-0904","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henok","family":"Dagne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4731-1696","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zewudu","family":"Andualem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780195306590.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cub.2015.11.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-3223(95)00188-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/25.2.120"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.14-0970"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5664\/jcsm.5896"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.25034"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2017.09.035"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2014.07.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2009.09.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/0142159X.2012.656749"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5665\/sleep.6016"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10072-016-2744-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/7657191"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2007.11.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-012216770-6\/50034-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5665\/sleep.2874"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.136.10.1257"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/8342328"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-244X-12-237"},{"volume-title":"Principles and practice of sleep medicine in the child","year":"1995","author":"Ferber R.","key":"e_1_2_14_21_2"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_22_2","article-title":"Prevalence of delayed sleep phase syndrome in university students","volume":"35","author":"Brown F.
