it could be a symptom of a sleep disorder although there’s no way to tell just what without a sleep study. the important question is how does your husband feel during the day? If he’s tired, then this "flopping" whatever the cause, is disrupting his sleep enough to be a problem and needs to be checked out. When you say flopping……is it just tossing and turning or is it jerking or limb movements? — Beth in Australia (I am not a medical professional and anything stated in my posts is my opinion only unless specified otherwise) =================== FAQ for alt.support.sleep-disorder can be found here http://talhost.net/sleep Newsgroup Archives http://talhost.net/sleep/archives.htm this site is a work in progress – feel free to submit info/articles Remove my name to reply
Response:
Being a victim of DSPS I spend a lot of time being awake when DH is sleeping. The other night, instead of being glued to my monitor like usual, I decided to read a book in bed. I was utterly amazed how much flopping around my DH does when he sleeps. I didn’t notice any breathing difficulties, per se. No gasping, no moments of silence. Yeah, a little snoring, but nothing that seemed abnormal or excessive. But lord, the flopping around was something else! Since you guys are the experts, I am wondering if this is a symptom of something? It doesn’t seem normal to have someone flailing around in bed all night. Funny I have never noticed it before – except for that ONE time when I got an elbow in the nose – That was right before we bought the KING SIZED BED! Any ideas guys? — *..
