what risks (if any) are there for a patient with hypersomnia (sleeping at least 15hrs a day with daytime somniance)? also does having a severe head cold (with a lot of congestion) complicate things; like being put under or intubated?

I’m wondering if I should bring up this possibility to the doctor. I suffer, at times, from involuntary movements. They are sudden jerks that involve the entirety of my body. I sometimes can feel them coming and sometimes I cannot. I can’t control them. They can happen at anytime, but they tend to often be associated when I (sorry) urinate. I don’t lose consciousness and they don’t last a long time–it is one violent jerk. I don’t have tourettes syndrome, either. I don’t drink any caffeine, also…

Is this a symptom of "mild" epilepsy? I know that some people have it but never have any seizures.

Could anyone suggest what it may be?

In the past have had episodes of sleep paralysis and panic attacks, and have issues every night with REM Sleep behavior disorder (I act out my dreams). I also daydream–a ton–to the point where I am totally out of it. I mention that because I vaguely recall that being associated with some neurological disorder. Please help!

I’ve been researching it, and it’s so interesting. It’s freakin scary too. I’ve never experienced it personally, and I don’t want to either. It sounds terrifying. Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis? Describe the episode.

I have always heard I can seem like I’m awake and say things to people but I never really believed them. Now its getting worse what causes this sleep walking and talking besides stress what can I do to stop it?

Do you need prescriptions to get sleeping pills from the pharmacy?
Which type would be most effective?
And how many would get you killed?

I need to get sleeping pills for a frd of mine whos lack of sleep is making him angry and violent. But I want to ensure that I buy the right type and the right quantity so he can’t harm himself with it.
Thanks!
