why do I feel myself fighting when I'm asleep??

[kendygurl]

Most of the time when I'm asleep,usually dreaming about something,I feel myself punching the wall and bed and my legs are like marching hardly..Sometimes I even hear myself making noises that even my mom can hear me fighting in the bed..Does this mean I have a sleeping disorder??

I was wondering if you might help us out by answering a one-question survey?  If you have a moment, go to the front page (hit the back to community button at the top of this page) and locate the poll about sleep topics. I would love to have your feedback. Thanks, H.

Have you discussed this with your doctor at all? There's a sleep disorder called "sleep behavior disorder" or "REM behavior disorder" that you may want to get testing to rule out.

Here's a little more information from a doctor's response a while back:

I think you are having nightmares? I experienced a similar situation before wherein I could hear my own voice in my dreams and I could even hear my own snore. I usually had many nightmares and my sister who's sleeping beside me always recounts the morning after how noisy I was in bed. It usually happens especially when I am stressed and exhausted. It is good to de-stress yourself before going to bed and relax your mind with a few minutes of meditation.
