Neurologist 's  Response
You are suffering from something we refer to as a PARASOMNIA...that's a sleep disorder. In order to get better information as to what may be causing this type of behavior both a physical examination, labs, and sleep study are recommended, preferably by a neurologist or sleep specialist. Sometimes medications or changes in medications can cause this sort of thing and other times there is no clear cut cause.

If you would like to send me more specific information in a private forum I would happy to help you: You can write to me at: bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi

I am a neurologist and would be happy to take a look at things to make some suggestions as to how you might get better control over your situation.
