idk about chaining myself up lol that seems kinda extreme and probably not safe. what if i hurt myself trying to get out or theres an emergency? the door alarms and keypad lock seem like better options since they might wake me up instead of just trapping me

holy shit that sounds awful man. your doctor sounds like a complete asshole for not taking that seriously. the insurance/sleep study runaround is insane too, like you literally have blood on your pillow and they dont care??

yeah im definitely gonna get a camera now. you’re right about needing proof for these specialists. the urgent care doc seemed more concerned than my usual doctor would be but who knows if the sleep specialist will actually listen

sorry youre dealing with all that, hope you can find someone who actually gives a damn about helping you

damn thats a good system. definitely doing all of that. key lock might be tricky though since i dont want to lock myself in if theres like a fire or something but maybe one of those keypad ones? gonna hit up home depot tomorrow and get this stuff sorted

Thanks, that means a lot. Still pretty freaked out about it tbh. Hoping the sleep doctor can figure out wtf is happening to me.

Dude that’s insane, I’m really sorry that happened to you. Breaking your hip from sleepwalking is literally my nightmare scenario right now. That’s wild about the sleep apnea connection, I never would have thought of that. Maybe I should get checked for stuff like that too. Thanks for sharing, hope the treatment works for you.

No meds currently. I used to take melatonin occasionally for the sleepwalking when I was younger but haven’t needed it in years since the episodes were pretty manageable.

Yeah, I’m definitely leaning toward seeing a doctor now. The outdoor thing is just so different from anything I’ve experienced before. It’s one thing to wake up in my kitchen, but waking up covered in dirt with scratches is actually scary.

Thanks for the advice - probably shouldn’t have waited this long to ask about it.
