Sleepwalking.

As a previous blog of mine recounted, I had an experience with a colleague urinating over my clothes on a business trip, whilst sleepwalking.  Sure he was drunk as well, but it ended with him unemployed (damage to the hotel suite).  This week, I had another experience with sleepwalking and this one truly frightened the living daylights out of me.

Phone your local Exorcist and get the mop ready..... just saying.

Unfortunately  I'm more akin to a coma patient when I sleep so I've never experienced any kind of sleepwalking happen.

Good lord, The Exorcist!  That brings back memories.  If she opened her eyes and spoke like a man, then I really would have had a heart attack.

I tend to sleepwalk when drunk. Was playing a bit too much Star Wars Galaxies a few years back whilst still living with my 'rents and sleep-walked into their room, my mum woke up and asked me what I was doing 'I'm scouting' I replied (was putting in loads of hours towards the scout class) and she had to walk me back to my room.

Next time was when I was doing a charity car rally across Europe and was staying at a hotel in Austria, had been out sampling the delights of the town during the evening and managed to get our party back to our hotel room using my drunken navigation system (never fails). I can then remember having a vivid dream where I was in a dark corridor in my boxers, walking up to a corner and peering round, hoping to find someone I'd recognise, seeing nothing I started to panic and got quite scared, went downstairs into a lobby area and down further into the basement, peering around in the dark looking for the rally organisers as I was determined they could save me. Still dreaming I found myself sat in a hotel lobby on the stairs in a state of panic, which is where I must have started to wake up as I began to recognise my surroundings, I then realised I must have been sleepwalking throughout my dream and dashed back up to the 4th floor to find that the hotel room door was still wide open.

So I'd spent probably 5 or 10 minutes sleep-walking around a hotel in the middle of the night in just a pair of boxers, taking comfort afterwards in the fact that one of my mates and brother were in the hotel room, otherwise I'd have experienced the whole ordeal naked, which could have been doubly embarrassing.

What greeted me when I opened the door to my daughter's bedroom and turned on the light would send a chill through any parent's spine.  I found her seemingly unconscious, sprawled on the floor at the other end of her bedroom.  For about 20 or so seconds, I shook her, calling her name and tapping her face.

Suddenly, she just opened her eyes, turned her head and looked at me and said, "oh, I need to go to the toilet",  I looked directly into her half-opened eyes and said "Me too. Me too," confusing her greatly.

i used to sleepwalk and i did some weird stuff. once i tried turning off a light switch in the air

I don't sleepwalk or any of that stuff, but one of my buddies sleeptalks, and apparently he says some pretty incriminating things.
(He refuses to go camping or share a room/apartment with ANYONE because of  this)

man, I always sleep walk.  I usually end up going up to someone in my family who is awake and saying something stupid that makes no sense.  Like just last week my sister was getting ready in the morning so I knocked on her door and asked her to turn down her loud music because it was waking me up, but she wasn't even playing any music.

Nobody in my family really sleepwalks. I think I had two episodes of sleepwalking when I was younger that still make great family stories, much to my chagrin. One is that apparently, when I was about 4, I got out of bed at around 10:30 PM, took a dump on my floor, and went to sleep. Then, when I was six, I apparently walked downstairs, grabbed a few throw pillows, carried them upstairs, did several bellyflops on my bed (that's how my mother describes the sound) and went to sleep. I still have those throw pillows in my room to this day though.

Man, my friend got fired for just urine!  At the very least, for the smell alone, they should have put you up for adoption!"

I don't think I've ever sleepwalked, but people tell me I grunt and sometimes talk when I sleep.

Man that must have freaked you out, seeing your kid on the ground.

I haven't experienced sleepwalking before,thank god.But when my 2 sisters where younger they would have "conversations" with each other in there sleep.Creepy I would say!

So you informed on your fellow work mate and got him fired, poor form.

Heres a video of a dog sleepwalking

Awesome video.  I wonder what the poor dog was running from?

I dont sleepwalk but i do sleeptalk.  The worst was possibly when i apparently said my ex-girlfriends name and my girlfriend heard me.....that was not a good way to start the day!

Last night something weird happened to me aswell, although this is more general sleep related.  I got the bus home from a club at 3 in the morning, fell asleep on the bus almost immediately and then woke up an hour later about 8 seconds before my stop.... very surreal.

I remember when I was in like 6th grade, I got up, walked out of the frontdoor, took a piss in the bushes and walked back to my bed.

I have never actually sleep walked, but i have passed out while standing up.
my family and I where cleaning out our wharf and boat. after 3 hours i was so tired i practically passed out.
While i was out I started to walk off the wharf, saying " That pumpkin is mine!".
I fell of into the sea and woke up, confused like hell.
now i sit down when I'm tired

Fair enough, the pumpkin probably was yours.  Lucky you weren't working next to a cliff top!
