Boyfriend;'s sleep habits

Posted by Concerned on October 09, 2002 at 11:19:10:

Hi,
Recently my boyfriend has had trouble staying awake - he falls asleep on my couch nad it takes me like a half an an hour to wake him up - he grabs at me and throws punches that he doesn't remember while I'm trying to wake him up. He does work three 12 hr shifts and is off for 4 days - I know this contributes to the problem but he says he used to sleep lightly. this is not only annoying, but scary - any ideas or suggestions?
