A 38-year-old man repeatedly tries to force his wife to have sex in the middle of the night but has no memory of his actions when he wakes up.

A married woman in her mid-20s often tears off her clothing and masturbates but remembers nothing when her partner rouses her.

For a dozen years, a 31-year-old man masturbates while asleep, at times injuring his groin. Embarrassed due to his unconscious behavior, he avoids relationships for eight years.

These are all clinically documented cases of sleep sex, or sexsomnia, part of a family of sleep disorders called parasomnias that include sleepwalking, sleep talking, sleep eating and sleep terrors.

Is something like delta 8 or delta 10 THC legal in your state? That might work for you. CBD might even work.

CBD is a godsend for my wife who has pretty bad anxiety. It's worth trying for a week or two for sure, especially because you don't have to go to a doc to get it. And if you don't like it, just come off it and you're back where you started.
