Dear Queenie,
My husband tends to thrash around in his sleep. He waves is arms and kicks his feet and sometimes he hits me and kicks me without even waking up and our sheets are all torn up from his toenails.
He doesn’t know he is doing all this. Even when I showed him the sheets, he wouldn’t believe it was from what he did.
Queenie, I can’t think what is wrong with him. What should I do?—Bruised wife
Dear Bruised wife,
Your husband may have some kind of sleep disorder. Encourage him to go to his doctor for a complete physical exam and to be sure to discuss his sleep problems with the doctor. You might go with him or have a private chat with the doctor before the appointment, in case your husband is less than forthcoming about the problem.
And you might want to consider separate beds and less-delicate bedding for your husband.
