Thought I did something but I didn’t?

Last night I thought I did something mean to my brother. While Half sleeping walking. I yelled at him, and I swore I grabbed his arm. I apologized to him today, and he said I didn’t grab him.

Ok that’s weird. I was so sure I had grabbed him, that I apologized to him.

I wonder what else I do or don’t do while not excatly coherent?

I probably have REM sleep behavior disorder, which can be pretty dangerous.

Has this happened to anyone else? Where you did or didn’t do something while sleep walking?

I used to sleepwalk when I was a child. I don't now.

I do have sleep anxiety and sleep terrors from C-PTSD.
I do things in my sleep like defending myself by taking a swing at someone and end up doing some damage sometimes.

Maybe you should see a sleep specialist if this continues?

(I am glad you didn't hurt your brother.)

Hopefully once I get a new therapist and doctor they will suggest that. Especially since the place I’m looking at is part of a hospital. The actual hospital is across the parking lot.

I am worried about copays. I have no idea how much a sleep study is.

I just googled it. It seems a sleep study could be helpful. And the average cost is about $1,000 a night. Which would mean a $200 copay.

Yes, studies can be expensive.

I wonder what a sleep specialist could tell you based upon your reported behaviors/symptoms?

They tend to favor studies though, you are right!

Our local hospital is backed up with over 400 studies on the waiting list.

I just read the little blurb on google. It says sleep studies can help diagnose you with Narcolpesy, Sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome and REM sleep behavior disorder.

The other hospital they are associated with does it. That hospital is about 25 minutes away. So not that close, but at least the hospital system does them.
