rocking during sleep?

Posted by jay on January 12, 2002 at 11:31:53:
Hello,
I have the following and wondered if it is a syndrome, separate issues, or? However, the first problem is chronic, since early childhood and I can't seem to find information about it.
I rock in my sleep, on my side, back and forth. I am not at all aware of this movement, others tell me about it and they cannot sleep in same bed with me. Since I can remember, I would rock before going to and during sleep. As an adult, it occurs only after I have fallen asleep. I consider myself emotionally healthy with no childhood traumas with only a history of head concussion with associated fractured skull.
I also have intermittent problems with:
1. Sleep paralysis.
2. Audible hallucinations of clicks/claps/shouts just upon falling asleep that sound "real" precipitating full wakefulness or startle reactions.
I suffer from fibromyalgia and frequent fatigue for approximately eight years now and have read theory it could be related to sleep disorder?
Any information is appreciated. Thank you
