please help me

I have been with my fiance for three years and living with him/ staying with him almost all three years. He claims that he has a sleeping problem. One where you can't go to sleep at night. I don't know if this is true. For as long as I have been with him he has been saying this. He says that this has been going on all his life. Along with sleep walking. ( I don't even know if he was actually sleep walking or if he was making it up to avoid trouble) He says that he needs to drink himself to sleep everynight. So he gets drunk everynight. Except when he is sick and can't drink. Then he just falls asleep. When I first got with him and he didn't want to drink around me he would take some kind of otc sleeping pill. He says that he doesn't want to get addicted to them so he won't take them every day. When he "sleep walks" he will get out of bed walk downstairs to the heater vent inthe living room when it kicks on, grab a blanket, cover himself, and go to "sleep". Other times he will end up on the couch just laying there or the bathroom on the toilet (like he was going to the bathroom, pants down and everything and just falls asleep). I don't know if he wakes up and does this and just tells me that he is sleep walking to avoid me yelling at him for doing these things or if he really is. I do know that sleep walking runs in his family. His dad does it, as does a couple of his uncles, cousins, and nephews. My main problem with this is does he really have a sleep problem that he has never had diagnosed or is he an alcoholic and doesn't want to admit it? He has been drinking every night since before he was old enough to drink. Can some one please help me?
