Parasomnia and Insomnia?

[Paige1989]

Hi,

I was doing some research earlier because I've always had a lot of problems with sleep. After a while, I found some things that made me understand a lot, if I'm right about my diagnosis...I still have to run it past my psychiatrist, though. I've already been dx'ed with insomnia; that's always been clear, but parasomnia is new to me, but it's affected me all of my life: sleep walking, sleep talking, movement in my sleep, etc. Does anyone else have these problems? And does anyone have suggestions?

Yeah...it's never really posed a problem for me either (except one night it worried my Mom when I went downstairs, i.e. used steps, in my sleep)...It just makes me reallllly tired, I think. That's the only explanation I can come up with for my restless sleep. >.> Plus, sleep-walking generally stops when you're 12...never stopped for me. :P
