At wit's end

I'm going to a sleep clinic next week for the first time. I've waited almost three months for this, and every night just seems to get worse. Sometimes I don't even want to go to sleep, considering all the problems I have.
I'm 25 and I've always had spells of sleep walking and talking. Now, I'm starting to punch my husband, scream violently. I also sweat frequently. I wear a mouth piece to prevent teeth grinding, and my legs and arms constatnly twitch throughout the night. Almost every night I'm experiencing nightmares. I took the test on this site, and it pointed to narcolespy, apnea and periodic limb movement. Sometimes I just want to cry, because I feel so bad for hurting my husband, and I feel like a freak or something, with all these problems. Advice/support would be appreciated. Has anyone ever gone through a sleep test at a clinic?
