The behaviors you describe are consistent with those described
to be seen in association with a sleep disorder. It is one of many
movement disorders during sleep. Your husband should be evaluated by a sleep specialist. There are world experts on this disorder in NY and MN and NJ. There are many sleep specialists throughout the country that could provide consultation with your psychologist and with these experts if necessary. The psychologist your husband is seeing could consult with the sleep specialist to continue to provide ongoing support through the treatment process. You could go to SleepNet homepage and get the listing of sleep disorders centers of the American Sleep Disorders Association (under sleep labs) to find local listings- and provide the information to your psychologist to help you with the process or you can contact the sleep centers directly. Often it is helpful to bring a video tape of the behavior. You might also want to contact the National Sleep Foundation they have information for patients on sleep disorders. Most important right now is to try to provide some protection for your husbands head until the movements are under control. Good Luck -- Keep us posted.
