well i would definetly go to the doctors and see what is wrong with him and see if they could treat him and if your door doesnt have a lock on it be sure to buy one and lock it at night

Try to get a lock for his door and for yours and use it every night. (His lock needs to unlock from outside) If that doesnt work, you could always try to block his door at night.

First get some serious help find out exsactely what is wrong with him wether you sleep in the same room or not perhaps you could try sleeping in a different room or even perhaps locking the door, try talking to your mom more about it. Talk to your brother about it.

Well for a most immediate solution- is it possible to put a good, sturdy lock (or eve a few locks) on your bedroom door? Keep a window key handy in case of fire etc but just keeping your brother out sound like a decent temporary solution. If he finds he can't get in enough times he may even stop this particular behaviour.
As for the sleepwalking vilolence in general it's a pretty rare condition but it does exist in other people too and no necessary link has been found between this and any kind of psychosis or repression in the person in general. It's just down to a lack of a chemical in the brain which reders most people paralysed in deep sleep.
Going to a doctor and working out treatment with him is the best longterm solution but in the meantime it's important to keep yourself safe. I know some parents aren't keep on the lock idea but in this case it seems only reasonable and I'm suprised she hasn't done something like this for you already.

When your brother's awake, try talking to him about it. Ask him if he remembers it, and if he doesn't, refresh his memory. Tell him everything that's been going on, and if he does remember it, ask him why he's been coming after you. Your parents need to take your brother to a doctor to get his sleepwalking under control, especially because his is out of hand. Good luck.

i think this is a big deal most people grow out of it as they get older. i used to sleep walk when i was little id run around my house and stuff, once i almost ran away out the front door.. lucky my mum stoped me.
anyways you should go to a sleep doctor about this b'coz it sounds like it is getting out of hand and a bit dangerous! they should be able to help. But i think you should put a lock on your door to keep him out of your room. he will probably try to get into your room at night for a while but he will soon realise that he cant get in and will slowly stop.
i hope it works you should try it. tell me what happens.. love to hear from you
