Thanks Sandman!

I did go and read what's written so far of your book and enjoyed it very much, it reminded me strongly of a book I read called PsychWard about beginning a job in a mental institution.

I have asked my boyfriend a little more about symptoms, with some leading questions, and gotten these responses from him:
- Often wakes up thirsty, but not with dry mouth
- Often gets accelerated dream-like sequences as he's waking, as though his dreams hadn't finished and went into fast-forward

He and I also combed through the 11 pages of this forum and found several other posts that sound a lot like what he has:

We were very glad to know we weren't the only ones suffering from this problem and hope that, perhaps, a multifaceted view can help someone make a suggestion. He has already agreed to see a sleep specialist when his insurance comes back.

Thank you so much for all of your help!
