Kicking and punching in your sleep?

Well, do ya?

 

Nope

 

How would I know?


I'm usually asleep when I'm sleeping.

 

Yes, but it’s rare when it happens. I actually got up out of bed and started swinging at a shadowy figure coming towards me

 

Yes.

When I was a kid our dog used to jump on the bed and sleep by my feet. The one night I dreamt I was kicking a ball, but I kicked the dog. Shame she went flying off of the bed.

I once dreamt I was in a fight and a guy grabbed my arms and I headbutted him. But I actually headbutted my wife. Luckily her face was turned away from me and I hit the back of her head. She was not impressed with me!!

 

I do enough of that while awake. Or maybe i'm dreaming that i'm awake.

 

not that i'm aware of. but my dad sleeps rather violently, so it may be in my future.

 

Only do that when I'm having a seriously dark nightmare.

 

I do. Seems to happen more if I eat a lot before bed, but sometimes I do it even if I don't eat late. Some nights I start kicking my legs as I start dozing while reading in bed and keep waking myself (and my wife) - on those nights, I'll usually put a half an ambien under my tongue because I know I won't sleep otherwise.

I have to make sure I fall asleep facing away from my wife.
