What is the treatment of sleep walking with OSA?

Hello doctor,

I was diagnosed with OSA and parasomnia/sleepwalking. I have been on CPAP for several months now with success, but still having some episodes at night, where I act out my dreams and I am afraid and run out of the house onto the street. I was also violent and aggressive towards my partner during this time of the last episode, which was two nights ago. She has children that live with us and we are extremely concerned about their safety if I have one of these episodes. I do not drink alcohol, smoke, and try to reduce my stress level. I have been using the CPAP religiously but would like a backup method to suppress these violent episodes that may/may not happen. It is really affecting my sleep, especially since I broke my foot. Please help.

I am 24 years old. I have over imagination problems since when I was a child. I imagine that I am a winner, and what I want and where I want to go.

Why do I feel uncomfortable among people?

Hello doctor,

I feel weird when I am among people. I get scared sometimes. On some occasions, my mind is just blank. I do not know what to say in response, and when the conversation ends, I feel like I should have to say something good. These things depress me more.
