My Sleep Disorder – Can You Help?
Posted by: Alan in Sleep Disorder, tags: Disorder, Help, Sleep
Basically ever since i was a baby, when i sleep i violently rock from side to side and if i am on my front i bounce voliently up and down i also rub my feet together and move my legs apparently from side to side, I have no idea i do this and it keeps my partners awake – i only do it in my sleep. When i was a baby they had to pad my cot. It is now starting to grind on my partner because he gets no sleep, i can not find any answer to this, does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I wonder if it could be categorized as restless legs syndrome. see-http://sleepdisorders.about.com/
If you try to make your sleep deeper, it may help. If you sleep in the day, stop doing that. Go to bed a bit later in the night. Cut down caffeine or other stimulants, specially after evening.
Of course, a specialist will give you more & better advice, try these in the meantime.
Good luck!

Don’t worry, I had the same problem too. Infact this is quite a common problem for teenager. Some will grow out of it but some might not.
I found this article very helpful and it takes a little patience to get it right.

sounds like a really bad case of restless leg syndrome but other things should be ruled out (seizure, night terrors, anxiety) …thus I recommend a visit to doc…to make a more precise and helpful diagnosis…if its restless leg then there is medication which is pretty effective from what I remember…forgot the name…but go to doc..he/she has to prescribe it anyways; its not over-the-counter…good luck ;o)

idk what that iz but the best thing to do in a situation like that is smoke a bowl or two everynight before you go to bed that will knock your body the **** out

Don’t take up pot, that is not smart. I think you should go to a Sleep Disorder clinic. You spend the night under observation, they will also hook you up to devices to graph what is happening in your sleep. I have a friend who went to school for years to study sleep and it is very specialized, so I am not sure if you will get your answer here. I do feel bad for you and your partner, sleep is so precious!
