What Causes Sleep Running?
My wife says that I have constant moments in my sleep that I move my legs like I am running and swing my arms about and scream. She is afraid to try and wake me for fear that I might hurt her. Sometimes i can remember a bad dream that I had had and other times I can t recall if I had a dream or not after one of these incidents. Can you tell me what causes me to thrash about and my running in my sleep ???

Hello,
Most probably you are having rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. You need to get a sleep study done. Benzodiazepine like Clonazepam is helpful in such case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ramchandra Lamba
