I'm curious if any of you might know what could be wrong with me? Have any of you experienced this?
I just got married 6 months ago...we didn't live together before, but we spent weekends together. Apparently, since the beginning, I am occassionally abusive to him when I'm asleep... kicking, hitting, shoving, and even went as far as pushing him off the bed the other day (although, I still think the kittens had help with that!). I have no idea what I'm doing because I'm out cold.
We have a queen size bed. We know we need/want a king size, but don't have the money right now.
Also...he tends to try to cuddle with me a lot...which can be nice, but he tries it all the time...not sure if it's just getting to me on nights when I need my space.
Finally...we are both under a TON of stress...
Could this be signs of a sleep disorder? How do I get over it? What has worked for you?
Serious answers only, please.

Sometimes we are just active in our sleep or you could be having bad dreams without knowing it. I know that when I am asleep I tend to kick or move around a lot when I am asleep. It went as far as giving my friend a bloody nose once when I was staying over. She had a queen size bed as well. Maybe you need to tell him that you don't want to cuddle as often as you do. You need your space sometimes and there is nothing wrong with that. I honestly don't think it is a sleep disorder just restlessness when you sleep or feeling crowded or trapped while you are asleep. Or you are just a bed hog like I am. I even kick my cat off the bed. Try getting a lot of your energy out before you go to bed.

I do not think this is a sleep disorder, but you busy adjusting to a new situation.
For myself, I really had to get used to my girlfriend cuddling up to me allnight. I didn't want this (I was pushing her unconsiously as well). When we talked about this explaining that this pushing has nothing to do with my love for her, we managed to sleep much better. Later I even got to enjoy her cuddling up to me on the right moments.
Take care, enjoy being together, and even through the stress, don't forget to have fun!!!

Sounds like anxiety coming out in your dreams. I think it might be wise to sleep apart for a while until you figure out and resolve the cause of your problem.

See a doctor for anxiety or stress. It's not a sleep disorder, I have that. Sleep disorder is when you need oxygen or a CPAP machine because you stop breathing when you sleep.

It sounds more like stress and anxiety to me.
Sleep Apnea has distinctive symptoms,and from what you wrote,they are not present.
I suggest a brisk walk before bed,no caffiene(soda,coffee),and a warm bath before bed might help as well.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ LOL!!!!!!!

Maybe you're letting out your true feelings with the 'cuddle' thing while you're asleep...sounds to me like he's your 'sleep disorder'...
