I agree, and he won’t go to see a doctor because he is doctor averse and doesn’t think he has a problem. He gas been taking 5 mg of Melatonin nightly for about a month. The movements and nightmares have dramatically diminished to the extent that the past 5 nights he has had totally peaceful sleep, and I’ve been able to sleep too. Previously, sleep movements were like something you would expect to see in The Exorcist. I’m hoping to convince him to see a doctor...working on it but haven’t been successful yet. Another thing...he used to take long (3-4 hrs) afternoon naps. I’ve broken him out of this habit and his nightly sleep has improved. That might be totally unrelated to whatever the problem is, but everything different we are doing, I am keeping note of in a journal.
