sleep walking

[CBGB]

Can someone tell me what to do on this issue.
I seem to have a problem waking up in the middle of the night and either walking around, screaming, move things around.
My wife has lost her patience with me.  She insist I go see a doc on this problem. Can someone recommend what I should do. I have had this since as far back I can remember but I think it is time I do something about it.

thanks

Hi,

Till the time you get to see the doctor about your sleep walking, I would suggest you to take some precautions so that you do not end up hurting yourself. Place an alarm or a bell near your door, lock all your windows and cover with drapes, make sure there are no hazardous articles on the floor and also try to sleep on the first floor when visiting or staying in a hotel. Hope this helps!

A sleep neurologist would be your best bet. My father had such behaviors, but to the extreme that he harmed whoever was around him, thinking they were a part of his bad dream. Your wife is right to insist you seek help. Good luck in finding a good sleep doc.

Actually I just read the post of other people with similiar problem.
Can someone recommend a sleep specialist in the NYC area.

thanks
