Hi susan kay,

I haven't had that experience, but I have a very vague thought (may have been a dream) of being kicked out onetime a very long time ago, but when young, no problem or bruising.:D

Does your medication cause sleep disturbances, nightmares and restlessness?

kenkeith yes /yes and yes bobby says i move a lot when i am alsleep and i do wake up after a little bit.and i have an embarrasing problem of snoring he says that i some times i quit breathing and then i guess my heart or my brain tells me to start up again. so yes my meds. make me have disturbed sleep i never sleep all the way through the night. so what do you think.susan kay

Yes, Susan one needs adequate sleep. There are stages of sleep that repeat during the sleep time. One stage of sleep is REM and is marked by physiological changes that include respiratory, increased brain activity, muscle relaxationand dream state (nightmare).

Some medication, antidepressant, alcohol, etc. can obliterate and/or enhance neurotransmitters that relaxes muscles during REM. If muscle relaxation is blocked during REM, one can act out their dream causing restlessness, even sleep walking, and falling out of bed would not be unusual. Take care.

Depending on how bothersome your condition, it may require a medication adjustment. Falling out of bed can be serious.
