Is it normal to hurt yourself in your sleep? And why?

Question

Answer

One day I woke up with a knife in my hand. I didn't go to bed with it either. But I also have PTSD from sexual assault and that causes many of my sleep episodes. Everyone knows not to go near me when I'm asleep because I was asleep when he attacked me. I could literally stab someone in my sleep.

Answer

I keep waking myself up by head butting my chest of drawers or my desk!
