Hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep pralysis, sleep walking and night terrors I've had but the most fucked up one I've had is compulsive night eating. The sleep walking was also night eating but a bit diffeent: unconcious rather than compulsive. I wonder if there really is a big difference. If you've never had a true compulsion, I have to tell you it's a lot stranger than you think. I could stand there and tell myself to stop repeatedly and reason with myself, even put obstacles and reminders in my way ahead of time but it was like I was just a passanger in my own body. It took me two years of fighting it full time. Literally harder to stop than actual drug addiction. I think it came from a sleep medication that I had discontinued by then but the damage somehow stayed with me. What worked was eating a lot much later before bed and then still doing battle with all my other tricks like obstacles, etc. Recurring nightmare hallucinations suck too though. I used to wake up absolutely certain there were snakes in my bed, get up, turn on the light and look through my bed. It took me minutes to fully wake up and realize it was a dream. I think I was able to fix that by imagining the dream but with a pleaeant ending before I went to sleep. I'm not sure if that works but it did stop after that. I didn't even know recurring nightmares were a thing. I thought that was just from movies.
