Suggest Ways To Overcome The Habit Of Rocking Oneself While Sleeping
My son now almost 37 has rocked in his sleep since he was born. On his hands and knees as a baby banging his head against the headboard. He tells me tonight it’s keeps his wife up and he wakes up in the middle of the night 2-3 in the morning. What suggestions do you have for him.

Hi,
These seem to be the symptoms of RBD - Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. Benzodiazepines like clonazepam work well in such cases. In addition, tell him to avoid stress and prolonged screen time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Abhishek Juneja, Neurologist
