May need sleep study: I'm not sure what this looks like. Is he rested during the day, or does he fall asleep in meetings or get drowsy with driving? If he is exhausted, he may be experiencing a sleep disturbance such as obstructive sleep apnea. This is diagnosed by going to a sleep specialist, who will likely recommend a polysomnogram - a sleep study. Good sleep is important for a host of reasons. Talk to your doctor.

Movement in sleep: Check with your physician if the asthma might be related, but much of sleep movement is related is related to dreams. Please check out my No More Nightmares book and Planned Dream Intervention skill. It teaches the sleeping brain how to sleep through dreams, and the brain returns to normal function in which we are not supposed to be able to have motor control. This learned skill with stop the move
