explain what you mean by "...CH-attacks are opportunistic and use the REM sleep stage as one of those opportunities"? Because to me, that suggests that they are conscious beings just waiting to attack. And while that works quite well in our myriad metaphors, it doesn't work that well in the reality of them. I think that the idea that they are induced by certain physiological changes that occur as we transit to REM sleep is pretty accurate.
