Hi Mr Santosh,



Thank you for posting your query.



The possibilities in your case are seizures (epilepsy) or a sleep disorder, as all your events are occurring during sleep.



You would benefit from investigations such as polysomnography (sleep studies) and overnight sleep EEG.



You would improve with proper treatment.



I hope it helps.



Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
