Hi everyone,

I'm looking for opinions on something. I've had sleep issues since childhood. Lots of sleep walking, talking, night terrors, nightmares, kicking, screaming, biting, paralysis, never EVER feeling truly rested, etc. it's always worse when I'm under acute stress. I've asked my doctors for a sleep study on several occasions but they look at me like I'm nuts for asking and tell me that the only reason a sleep study is done, is if apnea is suspected. I do not suspect apnea (but who knows really, maybe I have it) have you ever had a sleep study for the reasons I've explained or have any knowledge indicating a study could be helpful for my issues? I have nightmare after nightmare most every night and wake very untested, even when not under stress. When stress is added to the mix, I've walked in my sleep, bit my poor husband, talk and cry and plea for help in my sleep. The nightmares are horrible while battling stress. Thanks in advance for your input if you have any.
