When I first started staying overnite at my bf’s house he told me that on occasion he has sleepwalked and that if he does it to just tell him to go back to sleep and everything will be fine. One night he started talking frantically about earwax and pushing his hands sideways like he was opening a window and then he grabbed my pillow till I talked to him and he snapped out of whatever dream he was having and went back to sleep. That night was scarey mostly because I was afraid of the quanity of occurences and it hasn’t happened much after that and whenever it happens I just tell him to go back to sleep and he does. It can be scarey but usually people can hear you and you can coax them back to sleep.

I used to sleep walk as a kid, apparently one of the first times I went to the bathroom and was sitting there crying when mum walked in and when she asked what was wrong I said I wanted to use the computer. My parents always used to just agree with anything I said and lead me back to bed.

Over the years though it is almost like I have gotten better at acting normal while asleep, people used to be able to tell, but the most recent occasions my parents couldnt tell that I was sleepwalking and held a whole conversation with me about how they were going out. I woke up very confused on the toilet with my brother asking where they were. I’d been having a dream about trains and I kept telling him they had ‘gone on’.

Luckily it has stopped happening that badly, but I still sit up and stare at anyone who comes into my room at night. I used to be very good at going down bunk bed ladders fortunately as I was on the top bunk.

a common theme with people here seems to be overtiredness or unfamiliar places, anyone else see that?

[By bathroom I meant that there was a bathroom in my mom's room and that I just stood in it. xP I just wanted to make that clear.]

When I was a kid, I woke up in the middle of the night to find that the stuffed doll I was holding was on the floor. I didn’t think much of it and went back to sleep but when I woke up again, I was holding the doll.

Another time, I apparently walked into my mother’s bedroom, turned on the light and went to the bathroom. I stood there for a while and walked out heading to my own room. When my mom yelled at me to turn off the lights, I turned back, turned them off and went back to bed.

When I was a kid I used to sleepwalk. My mother has several stories about me coming downstairs saying crazy things and trying to use the bathroom in the kitchen.

I only remember waking from two bouts wondering where I was and how I had gotten there. One time I was standing on my bed trying to climb the wall. Another time I was startled awake by dogs barking. I was in our neighbors driveway wearing just a t shirt and briefs. They had turned on their porch light, the dogs were barking at me, and my parents and several neighbors had come out.

After that my dad put screen door latches out of my reach on the inside of our doors, and my mom made me wear pajamas to bed.

I sleepwalked as a child, and once I went downstairs, to the toilet, and then back towards the stairs. Instead of going up, I opened the front door and walked out of the house. Luckily my mom was around to take me back to bed.

Another time I woke up in the pitch black. I was standing up, and I had no idea where I was. I was only about 11, and I burst out crying because I was so scared. I shared a room with my brother, and he started yelling at me because I woke him. I felt my way back to my bed and sat on it, only to realise it was my brother’s! I started crying again until he got out of bed and put the light on!

My husband is a sleeptalker, but I am an AVID sleeptalker. I will carry on conversations, but my continual eye rolling and telling the other person to “shut up” usually gives me away.

My husband woke me up one night to tell me how awesome it would be to put a trailer in the living room.

My most memorable experience happened one night when my husband watched me sit up and start rubbing my hand up and down my bedside lamp. When he asked what was wrong, I said, “It’s gonna bend!” He replied with, “What do you mean?” I remember being really frustrated and using hand motions to illustrate as I yelled, “Bend! It’s gonna BEND!” He reassured me that I would not remember this in the morning and told me to go back to sleep.

I have also unscrewed the little on/off switch on my lamp and set it on my nightstand. On another occasion, I sat up, pointed at the ceiling and yelled, “What is THAT?!”

My cat and I will BOTH sleep with our eyes AND our mouths wide open.

Good times.
