sleepwalking: worried im going to hurt my partner

0

I have always done things in my sleep on and off from a child. I would mostly sit up and talk or clean up. This changed about4 years ago when I started touching my partner. He would tell me that I was poking him or that I was playing with his hair or I would just sit up and stare at him.

Then one morning he would not talk to me and was really angry/upset with me. He told me that he woke up to me hovering over him then when he tried to get me to lay down I grabbed his nose to stop him breathing. Luckily my sleep walking just went back to “normal”. Untill last night. He woke me up and said “do you know you just coverd my mouth with your hand?” I said sorry but he then worried me by saying what if I do this to my child!!! I’m moving my son out of our room just in case but should I be more worried? And if yes what the hell can I do about it? Thank you.

I suggest you do some meditation like yoga or silent prayers for protection & graces from God, have regular schedule for sleeping, drink a glass of water prior to going to bed, do not get upset or agitated or too excited some time before going to bed. Based on some websites as above, it appears there is no solution yet but some precautions are advised. May peace, joy and love be within you and all around you!

Watch the movie "sleepwalk with me" and start wearing mittens in bed.Edit: You don't? How do you know? You can't control it. Mittens help with other stuff too, check the movie.

Rinsandrep : I'm not bloody wolverine I don't scratch people in my sleep so pointless message. LANCY: I will try to relax more and just hope my partner puts up with me.
