Reply to comment by SimilarLee in TIL that physically acting out your dreams (loss of REM sleep paralysis) is >80% accurate at predicting future brain maladies including Parkinson's, Lewy Body Dementia, and ALS by SimilarLee

I did this as a kid quite often, bashed my hand into the wall next to my bed a few times, kick the wall or fall out of bed. Seems to have stopped over 10 years ago. My grandfather had ALS but haven't heard of anyone else having Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. I'm mid 30s, I feel like a weirdo going to the doctor asking to be checked out for Parkinson's/Alzheimer's etc.
