Sleep-onset REM (SOREM) is an abnormally rapid transition from wakefulness to [[wikipedia:Rapid_eye_movement_sleep|REM]] sleep, skipping the period of non-REM sleep that normally characterizes the beginning of the sleep period.<1>

After REM debt is accumulated enough, it's common to have SOREM in the beginning of [[naps]] or [[cores]], especially close to the REM peak during the dawn hours, which is done by brain to alleviate REM pressure. SOREM is also common for [[wikipedia:Hypersomnia|hypersomniac]] and [[wikipedia:Narcolepsy|narcoleptic]] patients, who generally have excessive REM requirements.
