In the Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim, you can travel to Solsteim. If you sleep in any of the beds in Solsteim before Miraak is defeated, you wake up near one of the All-Maker Stones, having been hypnotized to work in your sleep like everyone else.
In an un-modded game, this is little more than an annoyance. However, I am using the Realistic Needs & Diseases, so I am required to sleep periodically. So, that makes the problem more annoying. On top of that, I am also using the Frostfall mod, which means that this issue becomes potentially dangerous to my character, rather than merely annoying.
Is there any mod or method to disable this "feature", or should I just turn off RN&D and Frostfall when I'm in Solsteim?

The sleepwalking effect in Dragonborn ends when the stones are cleansed using the Bend Will shout. This of course requires working through the main quest at least far enough to get the shout, or using console commands to force the quests to complete neither of which you probably want.
Turning off the fatigue feature of RND or setting the rate to a very low number to allow more time between sleep periods is probably the best approach. Setting the fatigue rate to 1 means it takes 5 days before you are Very Tired. This allows you complete short adventures on Solstheim and return by boat to Skyrim to sleep. You could justify this with roleplaying by drinking herbal tea, although there is no in-game caffeine effect.
Or just leave the mod on the default setting and sleep normally. Aside from the teleportation effect when sleeping, there's no real downside. You just may have to adapt your current adventure goal to whatever your current location is, rather than completing adventures in some kind of geographical order.
