I'm a Sleepwalker.Follow

Sleepwalking is a common disorder in children 6-12 years of age, mostly boys. It's also very common in identical twins, which I am not one of.

Anyone who had never done any studies on Sleepwalking would assume that it involves the action of getting out of bed and walking around. While that is true in some cases, there are a large variety of things people will do in their sleep.

During sleepwalking people have been found:

Cleaning, or rearranging furniture.
Cooking.
Eating.
Pissing where he/she believes there is a toilet.
Driving!

and one that did happen to me, Sex.

One night I woke up and I was in the middle of having sex with my girlfriend. That wasn't something I mentioned to her, as apparently I'm even decent at it in my sleep.

Sounds fun doesn't it?

Well I'll refer you to this link on the Wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepwalking_murder

Murder? That's right, there's a story I read about a guy who woke up and drove to his parents house, then stabbed them to death. He then drove to the police station and reported that he thought he hurt someone.

He spent a year in jail, but when it was proven to be sleepwalking, as he had absolutely no motive, they released him with no charges. Not even taken to a mental institution. There have been around 64 known cases of sleepwalking murders and it makes for a pretty good defense in court.

The point of my post is, sleepwalking isn't always as fun as waking up while giving it to my girlfriend doggy style.

About two weeks ago, my girlfriend came home from work crying. When I asked her what's wrong, she told me what I had done the previous night. I am a Black Belt in karate, and teach at a local school, so needless to say I have some violent dreams occasionally.

I apparently sat up, grabbed her by the throat and was choking her while I repeatedly punched her in the body and arms, very hard. I then rolled over and went back to sleep. She thought I was going to kill her. She got out of bed and spent a couple hours crying in the bathroom, afraid to come back to bed.

When I heard it I was terrified.

Interestingly enough, I have a broken hand. I used that hand to strike her, and I noticed how incredibly sore I was the next day but I didn't know why. Punching her must have been excruciating for me with a broken hand, and I didn't even wake up.

My Father had a similar condition, and apparently it is genetic. But there's not much you can do about sleepwalking except make your surroundings as safe as possible. Now I'm scared ******** that I may hurt someone in my sleep.

It's not true that you can do nothing.

My brother sleep walks as well, and after he climbed out of a third-floor window and dropped to the ground, well, he went to a sleep clinic.

They found that sound doesn't rouse him enough to be helpful, but light does. Now he has motion sensors connected to lights that wake him up when he sleep walks.

They had other suggestions as well. Go get evaluated.

None of that happens to me because I am normal.

I just **** in the wardrobe when I'm rat-***** like everyone else.

I used to sleepwalk when I was a kid. I'll never forget the time when I went into the kitchen and took a **** in the trash can while my mom was doing the dishes. There was an empty milk gallon on top of the trash and it just sprayed all over the place. Then my mom yelled at me and woke me up. Then I just went back to bed.

I guess it runs in my family. My brother was once caught beating up a pillow in his sleep, then shortly thereafter making out with it.

Not as much now with the getting out of bed for me, but I know I still exhibit sleepwalking behavior at times. I'm far more prone to sex someone up in my sleep. Luckily(?) I live alone so there are no witnesses/victims.

Just make sure you kick the dog off the bed before you go to sleep.









But seriously, there are sleep clinics all over. Check one out immediately

Not as bad as my friend who gave his new 40" plasma TV a wee-wee dwinky after a night on the wallop.

My sisters and I have had minor incidences of sleepwalking as children, usually involving getting lost in the closet and pissing ourselves.

A few weeks ago, though, I dreamt that someone was attacking me with a shotgun. I grappled and wrestled him to the ground, trying to knock the gun out of his hands. I woke up in bed, thrashing about and kicking the crap out of my wife - seven months pregnant at the time - in the legs. Luckily that was the only place I kicked!

Afterwards it was agreed that I am not to go straight to bed after playing Battlefield all night.

I have been called on sleepwalking by various family members while growing up and a couple of girlfriends. It generally happens when I'm really over tired and it tends to happen when I'm "half asleep".

The "funny" time involved me and a girl I dated for about a year. We had been boozing, and after an attempt at drunkin' boot knockin', we went to sleep.

The next day, I woke up in my apartment. This wasnn't too weird, as I only lived a block from her and we had broken up, while blacked out, a couple times before. I vaguely remembered her being mad at me and kicking me out, so I called her the next morning and received no answer.

So I go to work & call her again on my break: No answer.

I get out of work, call her, no answer.

I get home, & my roomate tells me that the girlfriend is quite mad at me. I ask him "Why?" & he laughs even harder. He tells me I have to go talk to her. So I go get her some flowers and stop by her place.

Turns out, I got up to **** but didn't use the restroom. Instead, I had gotten out of bed, turned around, and urinated directly onto where I had been sleeping. The girlfriend woke up, screamed at me to stop, and I argued with her. Apparently I thought that the bed was the toilet, & could not be persuaded otherwise. This resulted in her throwing me out of the apartment and her sleeping on the couch.

Suffice to say, after much kissing *** and the purchase of a new bed, I was still in the doghouse for a bit.

I blamed sleepwalking and booze, of course, but she didn't buy my defence.

Sleepwalking =/= being hammered. I'm sorry Omega.
#14 Jan 29 2008 at 4:16 PM Rating: Good
The "being hammered" only added to it. Same girl gave up trying to have conversations with me after hopping into bed, as the more tired I was, the more inane the conversations would become.

She tried to talk to me about marriage and kids one night, post coital, and I apparently went on a tirade about how much Inuyasha sucked.

I used to know a girl who sleepwalked. Made mix tapes, fixed her TV, made spaghetti. She used to lock herself in closets and bathrooms and revert to her childhood. I used to speak to her in soothing tones and ambush her with a wet washcloth, which I'd wipe her eyes with after convincing her I wouldn't. Woke her up every time and left her docile enough to lead to bed, because none of us could sleep until her *** conked out and quit piling on the crazy.

She liked Sealab 2020, and if I remember correctly, back in 2005 Inuyasha was on after it.

And it sucked.

Incidentally, the amount of sleepwalking I've done over the years has been directly realted to the amount of pot I smoke. EX: When I smoke regularly, I don't sleepwalk (or remember dreams, for that matter). When I'm sober, watch out!

Damn, and I thought I was unusual for the sleepwalking to **** when going sleep drunk. A couple of times I made it to the bathroom sleepwalking but got no where near the toilet.

Hmm, interesting. Of course pot is known to repress dream recall, but I never considered the possibility of repressing somnambulism. The miracle drug - what can't it do!

Someone I am very close to has experienced sex on numerous occasions while she is asleep. Wait, what I am doing typing while she is upstairs asleep now?

When I was a kid, my brother would sleepwalk. One time, my pops and I were in the kitchen watching television. My brother straight opened the meat freezer, and pissed in it. My pops, asked "Did he just do what I think he just did?" a question to which no answer came, due to me laughing hysterically.

He seemingly grew out of his sleepwalking though.

What I got out of this thread that his signifigant other is ready to go, pretty much at any time, with little to no preperation. I applaud his choice in women.
