My husband kicks and punches me.

I did that when I was on anti-depressants many years ago. It's not nice for the partner so you have my sympathy. Hope you can get a resolution, seems twin beds is the only answer really.

They make sleeping bags for this where the partner has to be zipped up. Yes, it is called REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. I once received a black eye from this, too, Spuddy.

If you got room for a king double bed you got space for two singles beds or you need two rooms if that fails divorce lol

I would have thought with a spinal cord injury and being paraplegic, you would have to sleep in a hospital type bed rather than a standard double? My Sister has your complaint and she has to. He needs to get checked out as a few different illness can cause his symptoms stress being one of them. Do you have a spare room could be not have a bed in there together with a baby monitor that you could call him if you needed help in the night. Or as others have said move your other furniture into the spare room and have 2 single beds in your room.

my husband had restless legs for years, his arms would move too when he was asleep, and I often got nudges , he would also wrap the duvet around him, now I leave him to it...I moved to another room..

Any update on how the doctor's appointment went, HowNowBrownCow?
I am interested to read this as my OH has also done the same thing from time to time, though not recently. He has been taking statins for years, but didn't know this could be a side-effect.

I wouldn't be sleeping with him. Sorry.

My DP has that syndrome so we bought a king size bed which helped a lot.He ends up so wrapped up in the duvet that he looks like a sausage roll.😄

I really think HowNowBrownCow that only two single beds is the answer, as another poster said, even if you have to move other furniture out.

How small is your bedroom if you say you can't have twin beds ?

Surely it's possible

Waiting for an update with interest.
For the last yearish I talk in my sleep, flail my arms about and my OH says I tap him on the head or face. Luckily I have not hurt him. I have also fallen out of bed three times. I sleep really deeply so am not aware of any of this.

Son says I talk for ages really loudly. His room is next door to ours. If I need the loo I walk there but am barely awake and have even fallen asleep on the loo. Sounds funny but it isn’t.
