He is now about 22-23 years old and his symptoms are getting worse. This is a family inherited trait. His great grandfather, grandfather (who had a medical discharge from the military because of it, but out grew it in his 30's), his mother (I remember as a child she had night terrors every night that upset the family but out grew it by 20 years old), his one aunt and a couple of his siblings (not severe episodes) have all had it. This is quite upsetting for the family and keeps the family up "every night". Two examples of his dreams include seeing sharp blades coming up out of the ground as he tries to get to the rest room so he creeps along the edge of the floor and recently he tried to pull his younger brother out of the room to protect him, for some reason, and attacted his mother as she tried to protect the younger brother. His brother can no longer share a room with him. He is up walking around the house all night long. He has been pulled over many times by the police thinking he is drunk driving and he never drinks. This is quite alarming for the family. This condition has affected his ability to go to two differet Universities as he falls asleep in class and is never rested. He always seems to be quite "out of it" is the only way I can discribe it. He does not use drugs or alcohol. Probably just sleep deprieved. His father said these episodes only occur at night. If he falls asleep on the couch, during the day, they do not occur. Where can they look for help? He is contemplating marriage but is afraid to share a room with a wife because of it. We all live in Michigan. Is there a research study group somewhere? They would be very fascinated by him and the family needs help.
