For the last two years, my otherwise gentle and loving husband of 37 years has woken me up by having his hands around my throat, in a leg and head lock, pulling my hair or punching and kicking me. He has mumbled and jerked in the bed sometimes sitting straight up yelling at someone using language he doesn’t use! Sometimes he remembers what he was dreaming particularly if I wake him up. Lately though, for my own safety, I sleep in another room. He doesn’t do this every night, there doesn’t appear to be a pattern nor does any particular food or alcohol appear to have any effect which our doctor suggested we keep track of. This is all so out of character for him. Our doctor is studying the problem and hopefully will find a solution. REM sleep disorder appears to be what it could be as he has all the symptoms of it.
