Sleep Specialists rolled their eyes at you? What idiots! You would think they would do a little bit of research, since doctors usually love to show each other, how much they think they know.
I did a little bit of reading on the subject. It seems that it is not really known why some people do this and how it actually helps. of course, there are some theories. Some believe it's organic and of course, some believe it's psychiatric.
I believe that it really must help you, if it seems to work. I just worry that you might do somedamage one day, if you hit your head to hard.
Some doctors may presribe a low dose of a benzodiazepine, but the patient will usually develop a tolerance in a week or so.
I think the medical field knows a little more about the subject than they did a couple of years ago. You may have to do a lot of reseach on the Internet though.
Sorry,
Meg
