Husband has a fear of falling out of bed which has rails and he requires assistance turning on side. Suggestions on healing this fear?

The fear occurs when he wakes up at night and he screams for help. Also, this is occurring if he falls asleep in his wheelchair. We are considering buying a Sizewise Lowboy bed, but not sure this will remedy the problem, due to our current mattresses on floor with same results.

It sounds like possibly it is the anxiety that needs to be treated.

With bedrails or a mattress on the floor, there is nothing for him to fear. Have you involved a neurologist or psychiatrist in his care?
