How can I prevent violent tendencies in my sleep?

I have no insurance and really need to know what would cause me to attack somebody in my sleep even though my eyes were clearly not open. I was able to attack somebody that had come into my room and have no recollection of it and as I woke, it felt and seemed as though I was in a dream. I did for a number of years suffer from sleepwalking and even known to have sleep driven, I have also have suffered from severe insomnia since age 9 and I am 27 today. What could be causing the violent actions in my sleep? Is there any way to treat this?

These complaints indicate that you should speak with a board certified sleep specialist or your primary care physician. You should exercise caution and preventative measures regarding driving or walking out of the house while sleeping.
