How can I stop exploding in my sleep?

Update:

Sleep is unfortunately controlling my life. How can I get sleep if I'm controlled by other people all the time? I have exploding head syndrome every night. I wear earplugs every night. I often have to sleep outside, even during the Winter. Do you know anywhere I can go to get sleep where I can not be a waste of human flesh all the time?

Update 2:

Others yell at me & try & convince me that I should be matching their sleep patterns, & I must be doing something wrong in my thinking because I cannot adapt my brain to their sleep patterns. 17 years now, I've been homeless off & on. I've moved about 60 times. The state of PA doesn't care, they won't help me.

Update 3:

Exploding head syndrome is when someone for a few nights while drifting off to sleep hears every sound as a gunshot or explosion, a lightshow happens behind the eyelids for a fraction of a second, and it can be accompanied by a hypnogogic jerk. Mine is sometimes accompanied by a scream. It happens every night for me, I cannot live anywhere around people, but I'm living with people anyway because I have no choice. I cannot sleep, I need some help. I need a trailer in the remote woods.

    Exploding head syndrome is a sleep disorder. It's hearing any tiny pin-drop as an explosion, sees an explosion of light behind his or her eyelids & feels a nervous shock. It's sometimes accompanied by a hypnogogic jerk and a scream.
