I will be 62 in a couple of months and I am at the point that I am afraid to go to sleep.

I think my problem started out when I was young because I remember talking and walking in my sleep. The last couple of years I started fighting more in my sleep and I wife would tell me that I constantly argued in my sleep which was mostly about my work. Of course I would not believe her. She would tell me that I would sit up or get up and fight and kick.

I got worst. One night I rolled over and hit her in the jaw. I instantly woke up and felt terrible. The problems continued. I was dreaming about being attacked one night and jumped off the bed and smashed my head into the wall and kicked the dresser cutting my foot. That was not the worst injury. The there was the time we were on vacation and I had absolutely no reason to have bad dreams and I started kicking the hotel wall in my sleep and I kicked it so hard my ankle swelled up and I could barely walk for the rest of my week off on vacation.

The worst came last week when I knew I was dreaming about work and that in my dream I jumped up on top of some tables and ran across the top of tables and attacked a person that mouthed off to me. My wife told me that I sat up in bed and then lifted my legs and jumped totally over her and went head first into the night stand cutting my head open and bleeding all over the place. I hit it so hard I broke off a corner of the night stand and still today have major pain in my neck and back. I sat there a while bleeding talking my wife out of calling 911 and finally stopped bleeding.

I do not want to hurt anyone and worry that I will. I think it is time for me to see a Doctor about this.
What can I contribute this to?
Did I have a happy childhood? No
Do I live with any guilt? Who doesn’t?
Am I stressed at work? Read the papers. Everyone is.
I would love any home remedies that might work.
