A member asked:
My brother keeps waking up throwing punches, is this serious?

Parasomnia: This isn't that uncommon. It may accompany a dream about fighting, or a night terror, or happen by itself as an odd set of movements. You can say, "Hey Bro! Those are some mighty punches you're throwing when you wake up. You must be having exciting dreams. Does it bother you?" If it is an actual problem, a visit to a sleep specialist is in order.
