Sleeptalking/sleeplaughing/sleepwalking

My mom is a notorious sleepwalker/talker, and she also experiences sleep paralysis and hypnic jerks. It also takes her about 10 seconds or less to fall completely asleep (not an exaggeration either). My dad and I think she must have some kind of sleep disorder, but she doesn't think she needs to see a doctor for it. When she sleepwalks, she walks around the house and sometimes feeds the cat. When she sleeptalks, she swears like a sailor, which is completely out of character for her.

I sleepwalked once when I was 9 years old. I went up the stairs to my parent's bedroom, stood in front of them, and kept saying "no, no, no" over and over. My parents guided me into bed with them. When I woke up the next day, I was confused as to how I ended up there because I clearly remembered that I'd fallen asleep in my own room.

A few days ago, I came home after having a root canal on one of my teeth and went to sleep. My brother came into my room to use the computer, and I started laughing and said "Isn't it funny when I ate the food?" and my brother said "What are you talking about? You didn't eat anything; you've been asleep!"

Once I went camping with a high school friend and her family. Everyone was sleeping in one trailer. I woke up in the morning and everyone was smirking at me. Apparently I sat up suddenly during the night and let out a stream of obscenities.

I have a very long history of doing all kinds of weird things in my sleep some of which are beyond embarrassing to admit. So I won't.

I but believe different medications such as amytriptyline and oxycontin taken at the same time, have effected my sleep in strange ways and made my sleeping activity worse. Most of the time I will wake myself up doing whatever I'm doing.

One of the most serious incidents happened in the middle of the night. I found myself outside in my bra and panties on the sidewalk in front of my porch.

I have no idea what happened or why I was there. But later I had a huge dark purple bruise from my right hip going down the side of my leg. I luckily had no fractures but it was painful for some time afterwards.

It was obvious, I had fallen. But I'm not sure if it was from my neighbor's porch upstairs or the stairway. I'm just happy that at least I had my underwear on.

We just caught our 3 year old sleepwalking.

I use to sleepwalk when I was younger, but i was told by some travel col;leagues recenlty that I have a bad habit of snoring loudly and talking outloud in my sleep.

Some of these stories are very funny! Great topic d0ds0t!
