News of Primary Sleep Disorders Forum

I’m going on 7 weeks of the weirdest symptoms. I’ve been to my primary Dr, a sports medicine Dr and a Sleep Dr and none can confirm what’s going on. I see an Neuro Muscular Dr on Monday. This issue is only when I sleep so it’s not induced by body position. Once I fall asleep, I wake up every 1.5-2.0 hours every night and always on that schedule. I haven’t had one night making ...

Do you like being in a mania or hypomania state? But when you go to sleep it could all end waking up with Manic Depression. Here's my story how I became fearful of falling asleep or Somniphobia. I've been off my meds and when this happens, I usually get manic or experience hypomania in which I can do anything even elevate to a higher consciousnesses. I vibrate at a high frequency’s that will make electronics ...

Exploding Head Syndrome

Anyone else ever experience that? I can't say for sure, but I believe it has happened to me. I was drifting to sleep, while very short on sleep, and while under similar conditions I've often experienced Hypnic Jerks,

I've never experienced this before. It was as if a small-caliber handgun had been fired near my head. Very jarring ...

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can help me get to the bottom of my sleep issue.

I'll start off saying I have had some of these symptoms on and off for a few years like occasional clusters of night sweats, vivid dreams and I've struggled with excessive day time sleepiness since I was about 14, but only gotten worse as I've gotten older. (26 now) It went from a day nap after school to now ...

Hi! I’ve noticed my husband when he’s sleeping he will have muscle twitches /slight body movements during sleep like every 5 minutes, but subsides through the night. I notice more when he’s been stressed or has lots is anxiety (2020) has been tough. Anyway...any advice on this? Everything worries me on google. Thanks!

For a year now I have been plagued by nausea that accompanies the onset of sleep. I can go to bed feeling perfectly normal, no anxiety, no nausea, nothing. Then as soon as I drift off I am jolted awake by a pang of nausea. Over and over and over.

Has anyone experienced this before? My doctors have no idea what to do with me...

I’ve been struggling with sleep since I was in high school. I’m almost 21 now so it’s been a long time having to deal with this. My main problem is the excessive sleepiness during the day. No matter how hard I try I cannot stay awake during the day. At night, even if I have forced myself to stay awake all day, I can’t seem to fall asleep at night. However it isn’t like this ...

I have often been told I make weird and annoying noises while I sleep. I decided to record myself and at first, I couldn't believe that what I was hearing was actually me. It sounds as if I was hitting drumsticks together. And my wife says they are sounds coming from my mouth!

Anybody ever had the same? or do you know if this syndrome has a name?

Hi all,

I am interested in existing research about the length of sleep cycle and suspect that I myself might have a relatively short sleep cycle (~60 min instead the average 90 min). Any pointers or resources would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

On an average day, my tiredness begins in the late afternoon and then around 6.00pm - 8.00pm is the time I most want to go to bed and feel very sleepy. If I go to bed within this period I manage to fall asleep straight away and have decent sleep until waking up between 1.00am - 4.00am, and then I struggle to get back to sleep.

I find that if I push past 8.00pm I ...
