I don't really think anything causes REM sleep. REM stands for rapid eye movement, and it's one of the stages of sleep. I'm not certain, but I think it's the stage of sleep where your dreams are most vivid, meaning the deepest form of sleep.

Name of sleep disorder for not entering REM sleep?
In sleep apnea people enter REM sleep just fine. The problem is that when the muscles relax in the first part of REM sleep the airway collapses and they stop breathing. This interrupts the sleep cycle and they get poor sleep amongst other problems. Not entering REM sleep causes what is known as "REM sleep behavior disorder". They do not have the normal paralysis that accompanies the dream stages of REM sleep so they may act out dreams. Sleepwalking is one example. For more information see the link below.
