Sleep Talking and Fighting

by Mindy Baxter
(New Brunswick, Canada)

I have had sleep problems as far back as I can remember. I yell and scream. I hit my partner when I'm fighting in my dreams. Sometimes I can remember what I said when I was dreaming.

One night while sleeping I knew I was talking, and I couldn't stop until I said what I felt needed to be said. I was telling my partner, actually reassuring him, that everything was going to be ok. Then I told him not to worry anymore.

There are episodes of yelling,screaming,talking, and literally fighting. One night my partner said I sat right up and started singing Amazing Grace. This is weird even for me.

I also seem to remember everything I forgot to do when I go to sleep. I was telling Rob one night something I forgot to tell him during the day.

Any ideas?

A Note On Visitor-Submitted Questions:

Publishing sleep stories and questions from our visitors is meant to create a forum for open and proactive dialogue about an extremely important portion of our lives (one that occupies 1/3 of it and affects the other 2/3). It is not meant to substitute a trip to the doctor or the advice of a specialist. It's good to talk; it is not good to avoid consulting someone who's profession it is to help you with this kind of stuff.

If you are in any way concerned about your sleep health, don't wait for an answer on here, and don't necessarily rely on them. See a sleep specialist in your area as soon as possible.
