Odd sleeping habits? normal or not?!


Question:

Odd sleeping habits? normal or not?

ever since the age of 5 or 6 I have episodes where I sleepwalk (haven't done that one since i was a teenager) and also sleep with my eyes open. i frequently have tremors throughout the night (3 or 4 each night). If i wake up in the middle of the night I tend to experience vertigo.

I'm looking for input. Knowledge, experiences? Would you guess these are related? Are they symptoms of something psychological or physical?

I have a fairly healthy track record. i am 20/100 in my right eye (since I was born). I have fetal alcohol effect. I wet my bed until I was 12 years old. I may or may not have expereinced some trauma as a child, but I am not certain. I also saw a speech therapist for 6 years.

Your thoughts? Thanks. you're great. : )


Answers:

I would not say that the behavior is "normal." I see a possible connection between many of these symptoms; they could all be symptoms of a sub-clinical seizure disorder. The fact that you have fetal alcohol syndrome/affect reinforces that idea. Under the circumstances, I believe it would be wise to consult an internal medicine specialist to find out if your symptoms can be treated.
