Have you ever injured yourself in your sleep?

easyeason3

Woke up this morning with a pain in my thumb, I think I may have sprained it in my sleep.
I'm only after thinking back there to the other injuries I managed in my sleep over the years:
I had to get four stitches on my head after falling out of bed.
I bit my lip open. That was very sore.
I sprained toes from leg cramping.
Once, when drunk, I got out of bed & slept in the bath naked on a freezing winters night. Got myself a nice little cold out of that one & a trapped nerve in my neck.
And now I have sprained my thumb.

Anyones else like this or should I just try to avoid sleep?

I dislocated my shoulder by sleeping with my hand under my pillow and then turning over on it... did it a few times and the panic when you wake up made it even worse because I didnt know what was going on or what to do

I'm not the best sleeper so haven't had too many sleeping injuries. The worst is stretching in your sleep and getting a leg cramp. Other times I have accidentally not known which side of the bed I was on and would move my head quickly one way and bash it off the table beside me. ouch, not a nice wake up call.

Gone Drinking

I went home after drinking one night and fell asleep as usual. I don't remember but i took a piss in the corner of our apartment bedroom in my sleep.

How was i injured? My girlfriend woke up and saw what i was doing.

**Timbuk2**

When I was younger, I fell out of bed and ripped my lip open on the sharp corner of the bedside table

Had a dream one night that I was fighting the school bully.....Woke up the next morning with a black eye.I think in my sleep I was dogding a punch and threw myself out of the bed making sweet contact with my chest of drawers:D

Wasnt really injured but very sore.Fell out of a bunk bed face first.Although I did wake up when I felt the falling sensation but too late to do anything about it

Sleipnir

Must have had an itchy eyeball one night because I woke up and found that I had been scratching it with my fingernail. Big red scratch mark on the white of my eye.
Dumbass.

I fell outta bed once and landed head first on my clock stereo....but I didn't wake up.

I eventually woke up to a bruised head, a stiff neck and sore ear, once the alarm decided to go off.......

Loads of times,
From sleeping in a funny position my back was killing me for days.
At present my neck is killing me from sleeping with my head in uncomfortable position the other night.

Naos

Woke up in the middle of the night with 'vodka cramps' in my calfs after being out on the beer.

When it happened the first time, I reached for my can of Deep Heat just as it was starting, was alright after a few mins, fell back asleep and Naos is happy and content.

Woke up a few hours after this, cramps had taken full effect, rock hard I started to scream and look for my Deep heat that should have been on the bedside locker but it was no where to be found.

My mate didn't like the smell of it the first time and 'hid' it on me - he was too lazy and thought my screaming was to funny to get it for me for a few minutes.

I wanted to cry a little but didn't

I used to wake myself up sitting up in the bed banging my face against the wall!! Thought it best to move the bed eventually.

I slept on my arm one night woke up when it was completely dead. That didn't really worry we though as it had happened before. So I lifted up my dead hand with my working one to get the blood flowing. I then I fell back to sleep at which point my dead hand fell and poked me in the eye!
Very painful!

No they are not!!!!!
They are used by old people who have bad circulation & more often than not will have a tartan blanket draped across their lap whilst reading Irelands Own.

Be careful of dead legs too....I know someone who woke up in the morning with a dead leg. She hopped out of bed, and broke her ankle!! :eek:

Fell down the stairs sleepwalking when I was kid.

Drinking and sleeping is as dangerous as drink driving sometimes.

I've woken up crippled at times.

Local-womanizer

Kneed the radiator full force.Thats about it I think.

Funniest story but not an injury.
2 brother's were notorious for sleepwalking when they were younger.
the youngest had got a skateboard as a birthday present and was out on it all day.
I came home and went to bed and about 5 mins later he suddenly got out of his bed, grabbed his pillow and made his way downstairs.
Asks him where he's going, "out skateboarding" he says and proceeds to open the door.
I was so tempted :pac: to watch him try to skateboard on a pillow but common sense prevailed and I yelled at him to get his ass back to bed

The other brother hurt his back when he came back pissed one night and went to bed.
I woke up to hear someone climbing over my bed (the brother) to get into the corner to have a piss. There he was with his langer hanging out just ready to go..I let out a roar and he fell off the bed injuring his back

cute_cow

my first and only time sleep-walking and walked into the corner of my wardrobe......knocked out 2 teeth, cut my forehead, nose and had a split lip.....

i mean, if ur gonna do it, do it right

Sleipnir

I've one like that.

All out on the batter and in the wee hours we went back to a mates house to crash. He told us that we had to be quiet though as his parents were asleep upstairs.

No problem, we crept around and fell sleep on various couches etc only to be woken by screams from the parents upstairs.

One of my mates was sleep-walking and went upstairs, into the parents' room, opened the wardrobe and pissed in it.
He was as confused as everyone else.

Must have slept in an awkward position one night, because i woke up in the morning almost physically incapabale of turning my head to the right. Was still in pain 2 days later. Not fun.

LouOB

My brothers leg twitched one night, kicking a window in. All I heard was a smash and presumed someone was braking in, so i woke up my parents and we went to his room to find his leg through the window, and him still asleep.

chamlis

Jerked awake after the falling sensation one time. Bit straight into my tongue.

Was very unpleasant.

Yeah, think I had a nose bleed and some bruises IIRC. I was about 7 or 8, I think.

Mrmoe

Rolled out of the bed one night and fell back first onto the door of the bed side locker which was open.

Another night I woke up needing to go to the bathroom, managed to get half way across the room while still mostly asleep before falling over something and slapping face first on the ground. I didn't bother to get up , just continued to sleep away nice and comfy, my dad heard the bang and came in to investigate and rudely awake me from my slumber

Mr. CooL ICE

My last house in college was my first ever bed where the wall was to the left and not to the right of the bed. Alarm clocks goes off, so I jump out of bed and end up smacking my knees off the wall, cutting one of them

Michellenman

Fell asleep with my arm stretched over my head. It went dead and I woke up not realising that it was numb and only being able to move it from my shoulder. Ended up whacking myself in the face with the full weight of my arm. No bruise but super tender for ages after.

Got a new bedside locker and for a week would wake up with nosebleeds...turns out I had been banging my head against accidentally...other than that, just fell out of the bed a few times

Milky Joe

Friend of mine fell off his bed smacked himself on a bedside locker or something like that and broke his jaw! Had to have it wired shut for a good while. Twas awful

delllat

woke up with terrible friction burns on my knob,actually it was completely raw



note to self ,stop **** !

Caoimhín

Once or twice i have managed to scratch myself while asleep. Deep scratches too, drew blood I did.
