Hi, my name is Bob and I live in Birmingham, UK.

I have terrible trouble during sleep in as much that I lash out at my wife.
I have strangled her, pushed my hand against her face, kicked her and pulled
her hair. This has resulted in me now sleeping alone through fear of what I
might do next.

My GP arranged for me to pick a machine up at the hospital - I don't know
exactly what it was for but I had three pads on my chest and something to
measure my pulse over my finger.

My doctor thinks I may have sleep apnea but personally I think I may have a
sleep disorder known as Parasomnia. I have no recollection of being violent
during my sleep. This 'acts' only really started during 2001 - I have been
on Seroxat for 2.5 years and am going through a stressful time due to an up
and coming employment tribunal.

Anyone else in here suffer from these kind of disorders?

Bob"
