Restless leg syndrom: During sleep, symptoms like restlessness, irritability, anger, etc may be seen in restless leg syndrome for one. Sounds like a nightmare or night terror as well. Please have him consult his primary doctor to create a diagnosis. He may need sleep studies or psychotherapy as well.
