“So, whachootalkinboutwillis?”
I’m talkin’ ‘bout a severe sleep disorder. I can get up and walk around, and see my dream superimposed on my surroundings. When you go into REM, and dream about a 6th grade dodgeball game, you body does not move at all. Me? My body thrashes trying to avoid being hit by the ball. Ripped up both my rotator cups 9 months ago, in my sleep!

Try Trazadone. 30 min knockout, no side effects. Sounds like you might need 150mg.
OMG!
We had an elderly neighbor who would go through the motions of working while he slept. He would do everything except get out of bed and fetch tools. He was 96 worked hard all his life and extremely old school and conservative.
IIRC his wife had to get a king sized bed so there would be enough space for him to thrash around without hurting him.
My family absolutely adored this man. He was a very good man tougher than nails and still could drive some heavy equipment almost until his passing.
We loved his wife too. She was a little younger, not in very good health and moved in with her daughter. Sometimes she’ll come back to town to visit her son and we get together and yak awhile or have lunch.
She’s almost 90 and still sharp as a tack but quite frail. She used to be a hell of a cook and she’s a smart lady. They used to be our neighbors.
I miss them.
My goodness. That is awful! Absolutely awful.
Read up about Low Dose Naltrexone and find a good doc that will work with it.
PS start with an extremely Low Dose and work up to the regular Low. Dose
