My husband is a very violent sleeper. he does have a bit of a temper but he has never hit me ( while concious ).
when we go to bed and he is fast alseep he often mistakes me as someone who he is angry with and he has a few times gone to hit me or even taken a swung at me in his sleep.
he also says random things and snores alot.
now what i was wondering is this some type of sleep condtion and if so how can it be treated.
or does he just have underlying issues that needs to be dealt with
I am very firghtend that one day he will hurt or even attempt to kill me in his sleep
help thanks

Pay attention to your instincts. -- especially if he has been in combat situations previously.
Sleep in a different place, the couch etc.
Get him to a Dr and go with him. Until then, document his sleep events so you have recent facts to communicate along with your genuine fears.

Per a previous answer it sounds like sleep apnia. Given the apparent stress level and without knowing more, it sounds like there may be a component of PTSD which in and of itself can contribute to sleep apnia. Get to a sleep Dr. and some good? mental health help if he has any history of trauma/stress.

Your husband maybe in a lots of stress during the hours of him being concious. Struggles and problems at home and work may still affect his brain while unconcious. To help make sure he gets adequate exercise and healthy meals. Let him relax by taking yoga ( I said it yoga . man or no man. yoga), tale a stroll down the park relaxtion helps soothes his tention. Try my methods and see if it helps. quick tip. Don't put your husband in a lot of stress when he comes home from work give him peace and relaxation.

snores alot!? does he grind his teeth too? get up to go to the restroom in the middle of the night more than once?
sounds like sleep apnea! he is actually oxygen deprived by the snoring. he could die from this,...
get him a sleep study as soon as possible!!!
i had those kind of symptoms, felt tired most of the time, fell asleep while driving & at work,..... i now sleep with a bi-pap breathing machine, my blood oxygen went from 67% to 96%, i have great energy, sleep through the night, no more thrashing and gnashing etc.
