Is there a known disorder for twirling your hair pulling the knots out in your sleep?
No, it's just a bad habit like biting your nails. I know many people (especially when they are under stress) that will twirl their hair until their scalp hurts and sometimes it leads to a small bald spot. One of my girlfriends was getting married and she was so nervous she ended up with 5 bald spots the size of quarters. She wasn't twisting her hair, the hair just fell out that way from the stress. This may drive you crazy, but here is a solution. Back in the 1950s (I grew up in that time) the girls would pin curl their hair and then put a scarf over their head (bandana) and tie it in front to keep the pin curls from coming out during the night. This may work for you but it may take a couple of weeks. Also, find out if there is something stressful going on in your life and if so try to do the best you can to resolve it. Good luck.

Can you take sleeping pills and birth control pills together?
Usually YES. Consult your pharmacist or OB/GYN to be safe, but I know of no commonly prescribed sleeping pills or birth control pills that interfere with each other.
On the other hand, some people taking Ambien or similar sleeping pills have supposedly had sex or done other things such as sleepwalk or carry on a conversation after taking Ambien... and not remembered it. I'm not making this up. It is well-documented.
So... take your birth control pill sometime BEFORE you take your sleeping pill. ;)

What would happen if you don't remove a tumor?
Whether the tumor is cancerous or not it can grow rapidly and cause serious problems and some tumors have roots or 'feelers' which can tangle throughout other organs. This is something you MUST discuss with your doctor or specialist. If they suggest it be removed then it should be. Be prepared for a 'yes' from your doctor and before you keep your appointment with the doctor write down any questions you may have and then write the answers down. If you don't understand what the doctor is saying, don't be afraid to ask him to repeat the answer or explain in a more simplified way. The more you know about it and any risks the better you will feel.
