Hi! I am one of the bed partners of one of these people that have this type of sleep disorder! I would like any and/or all info that anybody has regarding it, and it's treatment! I have, after the last "slugging" incident, refused to sleep with my husband as I feel like I am sleeping with "one eye open" at all times, and my problem is starting to become sleep deprivation!

He has seen our family practitioner (as the first step toward a referral, per our insurance) who put him on Benadryl 50 mg. @ h.s., but I think this is "hokey" but since I haven't slept in the same bed with him for more than a month, I don't have a clue whether or not it's helping! I am too afraid of being battered and because I'm very skeptical of the doc's treatment, I still won't consider seeing if it works.

Please, anybody that has had this problem or had to deal with it with their partner..I would like some sound advice!

Thank you,

Sharon
