Weird things you/someone you know do while asleep?

StevieNicksFan

Last night I got out of bed and for some strange reason took a towel and laid it straight across the bottom of the door, then went back to bed. I remember doing it but have no explanation for it. Another time I put on a pair of jeans and went back to bed. When I woke up I obviously still had the jeans on and remembered getting up and putting them on...again no explanation though. Really strange, obviously some sleep disorder thing.

As long as I don't get up and set the house alight, i'm not too worried.

Anything similar that you or someone you know have done while asleep?

Maybe you were cold?

My ex girlfriend used to grab my arm, shove it under her neck so we were spooning. Then, remove it a couple of seconds later. This would happen at least twice in the dead of night. I never got a good nights sleep.
Its another good reason shes an Ex.

Carter P Fly

I "suffer" from sleep sex.

Seriously, Im a f*cking porn star in bed when I'm asleep. I can kinda remember some bits of it but like any dream sit fades really fast. Its not every night, perhaps once every two months or so.

Yakult

I've been known to do a few things in my sleep, only when on sleeping tablets tho.
Went down stairs one night and lit a candle. Woke up in the morning and it was still burning! Another night I tried to cook a fry. An unopened yoghourt, pack of rashers and an apple all in the frying pan with some cooking out oil splashed over them. Cooker wasn't on thank god.

I sleepwalked once when I was a teenager. I woke up in my Mum's bedroom asking her what had happened on Neighbours that day. I never watched Neighbours again.

I've been told I talk in my sleep. Apparently when I'm having a dream and I'm talking to people in my dream, I'm speaking out loud too.

I talk in my sleep an awful lot, according to my girlfriend. Like, nearly every night. I usually speak in Irish when I do so she never understands what I'm saying. Thankfully.

Does that not annoy Phaser?

Gunslinger92

Sometimes my boyfriend twitches. It can be just an arm or a leg or it can be an all over twitch. Can be funny or quite scary, depending on how awake I am

Storminateacup

I apparently keep my eyes open when I'm asleep. I don't know I'm doing it but it freaks people out

I'd hate to think of how she found out if it did.

Came downstairs one morning to find the front door WIDE open.. It only occurred then to my housemate to tell us that she sleepwalks.. It was a miracle/tragedy no one was murdered that night. :P

lil'bug

my OH sometimes acts out his dreams/nightmares
one time he dragged me out of the bed because he thought the roof was falling in on us

LenaClaire

My husband says I sometimes laugh in my sleep

effluent

Had a housemate come knocking on my bedroom door just before I was going to bed. He asked me if he could use my toilet, it was an ensuite and what made it weird was that he had an ensuite, so fair enough let him use the ensuite. Went to the kitchen only to return and find him asleep in my bed. Couldn't wake him up and couldn't go into his room as it was a share room, so had to share the bed, it was a double bed so it wasn't to bad. The only thing I could think of is that his housmate brought a bird back and he was desperate to get some kip. The couches in the place were terible and impossible to sleep on. At some point during the night I vaguely remember him waking me and asking where the toilet was and coming back looking at me with a what the **** am I doing and why am I sharing a bed with you look on his face.

The next morning he could not remember any of this, not a thing. It's just one of those things I'm never going to forget:pac:

Chuck was taken

Last August I was out with a couple of my mates. When I got home it was about 3AM. So when I got upstairs and went to bed. About 20 minutes later I woke up stripped completely naked, and took a piss off the top of the stairs. Then when my girlfriend came out to see what was going on I ran past her, laughing, dived into bed and went back to sleep.

I used to do strange things while half asleep.

I was dreaming I was sitting on the bed having a smoke when next thing I dropped it. Woke up completely dazed, thinking the fag had gone under the bed so I threw the bed upside down and pulled all the sheets off. I was awake but my brain was still in stupid mode.

Took me about 2 minutes for my brain to start finally operating where I just thought "What the fùck have I just done?"

Another time my parents woke up and found me sitting on the balcony looking at my room. They asked me what I was doing and I said:

"Just waiting for the bomb to go off......"

:pac:

stacexD

I can have a fully blown conversation with someone when I'm asleep.

Talk out my dreams too sometime.

Very awkward morning when a male friend was visiting for the night and sharing my single bed. He woke up to me screaming "No...no...NO...I said no... I SAID ****ING NOOO!!"

FloatingVoter

Drink had been involved, your honour.
Woke up once in the middle of the night and took a piss in the bathroom. Next morning I discovered "the bathroom" was the deep freeze.
Some nights later "the bathroom" was my wardrobe.

After that, I stopped drinking during the evenings.

I talk my partner gets hotter than the sun.

KTRIC

I scream , shout, laugh and sing in my sleep. I was told I can become very abusive as well.

Thats the thing about sleep, you can no longer suppress the madness consciously

Jamie Starr

My brother got up once, in the middle of the night, and started rummaging through the wardrobe. I woke up and asked him what the frick he was doing.

"I'M LOOKING FOR RACISM!"

Karona

I talk in my sleep. Just the other day I was having a little nap in the living room and my mam said I kept calling her. She was trying to have a nap too and all I kept saying was "Mam", "Mam" she said I was wrecking her head. Ooops lol.

rather than it being about setting the house on fire,were probably dreaming about being somewhere on fire,or maybe had watched something that had a building on fire.

the bro in law apparently acts like he is skiing in his sleep,there is supposedly another part to it as well but cannot remember what she said about it,asked her to set up her camera so was able to get a laugh out of it as well,the tight get refused.


am not one for doing anything weird during sleep,just a boring git.
there is a rare ocasion when epilepsy [tonic clonic,sometimes status epilepticus-usualy if have been ill as well] spreads over into night time but otherwise am usualy in the same position from night till morning-with foot over the side of the bed,same position have always slept.:D

one of the other girls am living with has profound autism,at face value she is only ever able to say 'tea' quietly and attempt to say 'hot chocolate',however there was one night when something quite amazing happened.
her room is directly above mine,and everyone bar staff had gone to bed.
was faffing about on the laptop as usual,no noise apart from fan of laptop,and suddenly had heard her speak an entire sentance-at normal volume,but the words were muffled because of the flooring.
-had ran out to show staff via the laptop what she had said [am partly non verbal to] and they did not believe it but they told the manager in the morning and we had a chat.

it was a relief to know at least he trusted what was saying,he has worked in many of the same experiences,apparently profoundly autistic people who have been without a voice for so long and start being able to speak as young adults are very bothered about the changes of suddenly being able to communicate,the independance they will have and so on.
they had told her family,but this hasnt happened again since though she has started saying a few more individual words.
almost all staff did not believe had heard her speak and said it must have been people from the other unit but am not stupid and can tell the difference between voices and directions.

Slunk

I get them full body twitches sometimes. Jump out of a sleep. Other times i can be snoring and have a conversation as if I'm awake. Gf does be baffled at how i am snoring yet answering her questions

Rhys Essien

Heard a story years ago about a lad who was around 14, who was bad for sleep walking.
On one occasion,at about 5am, he got up,went down stairs and headed out the front door in his pajamas and started walking in to town.His mother who heard him getting up followed him and when she caught up,she supposedly just turned him around and led him home,in a trance like state.

jefreywithonef

I've been known to sing gibberish when I'm asleep. Apparently I unleashed a passionate rendition of "Hurp de do da day.." a while ago.

John Doe1

My mate sleep talks.

I sometimes get sleep paralysis, its pretty damn weird

keithb93

Me and my brother used to sleep in a bunk bed with him on the top bunk. One morning I got up first and went downstairs while he was still asleep, cue a load bang, I ran up the stairs to find he had fallen off the top bunk. The thing is he was still asleep, it didnt even hurt him.

starlit

I used to sleep walk sometimes cry or laugh maybe talk in my sleep.

I can get very odd when I'm asleep.

Once when camping on an island, I needed to pee, so proceeded to fall all round the tent, got stuck in a corner and shouted, Move, or I'll pee on you to someone who was on the opposite side to me (so I'm told)

I also woke up one morning pulling my bookcase away from the wall, I must have thought it was the door

My partner also tells me I never shut up thinking I am at work when I'm overtired, one night he said that I was talking for a full hour, rhyming off numbers to different people:o

And I once woke up being told I was after shouting
"THERE'S TOO MANY CATS IN HERE!" then proceeding to flail about the bed...

cassid

i reckon I just fart, and snore like most people.

have watched my kids laughing and talking away in their sleep, grinding teeth, missing the bathroom and peeing beside me in the bedroom, always a great site to wake up from sleep.

Haruki

Know to have a wander at night, once wrote the word "voodoo" on the table in my bedroom, had a sight memory doing it during the next day, got home, had a look, there it was, VOODOO !!:eek:

Also, had a conversation about Angelina Jolie's lips with my Mam:rolleyes: using a cover picture of a magazine as a point of reference.

alex73

My Kids have conversations between them while they are asleep... They are 2 and 3 so its not fake, one will say something and the other might answer.. Its hilarious,

berrycherry

Ok me and my oh will go to bed, all will be well going asleep and then next min he'll just jump up or have a massive twitch session and wake me up! That'll happen couple of times a night.... can be very tired the next day... *rolls eyes*

plein de force

I went through a 6 month period of time where i'd sleepwalk occasionally but it all stopped after that

One time i got up and put on my clothes and coat and went in and woke my whole family up to see if they wanted anything in the shops as i was going up to get a few bits(this at 4AM), they were shaking me to wake me up it felt so ****ing weird when i woke up fully clothed in my brother's room.

Another time i got up and put on my uniform at 2 o clock in the morning

and i got up and hoovered the kitchen in the middle of the night before

thankfully it all stopped

elefant

I've done a few weird things in half-sleep...

Once I was having a weird dream which pretty much just involved numbers increasing exponentially. I woke up with a really strange idea lodged in my brain that my family had won the lotto. Thought to myself it was stupid, so I went to the bathroom (pillow in hand for some reason) and washed my face. My mam heard me wandering around around, and got up to see what was going on. I just looked at her, after having washed my face to wake myself up, and said
'Mam, we won the lotto'.

On another occasion I really had to take a piss. Instead of just walking to the bathroom, I climbed out the window, and took a piss off the window-sill :pac: Thank God I sleep on the ground floor!

Celly Smunt

i keep waking myself up with farts,especially with my girlfriend.I've even started doing the whole Fart and cover with a cough after I've woken myself up.

PseudoFamous

I sometimes sleep with my eyes open on the bus. Its a pretty long journey from Dublin to Arklow, but I always conveniently wake up at the sign that says "next exit 2km".

On one occasion, my friend woke me up, laughing his arse off, as I'd been singing away. The song? Never Gonna Give You Up. On the bus. Which was packed.

Another time, a really purty girl sat beside me. She noticed I hadn't blinked in a while and tried to wake me up. I partially snapped back into consciousness and tried to thank her and explain that I sometimes sleep with my eyes open on the bus after a long day. Those words did not come out of my mouth. English suddenly became a second language to me, and some bizarre lispy Tasmanian devil language was submitted in its place. While I was babbling like a fool with a speech impediment, I was slightly too conscious to be aware of the fact that the words coming out of my mouth were completely unintelligible, but not conscious enough to make any form of amendment. She got a bit of a shock and didn't speak to me again, and I spent the rest of the journey cursing my stupid brain silently.

RichieC

My friend told me her dad has been having the same argument in his sleep for 25 years. The first night her boyfriend stayed over he thought he was ranting about him and any minute about to burst into the room and kick his head off.

ThePower11

Great thread.

My brother was awful at this sort of thing 99% of the time he sleeped (< is that a word?) walked we always found him snoring away on in the hallway, two times I remember the most are when we all woke up and noticed there was no sign of him we searched all over the house but found nothing, we then went outside to find him asleep in the drivers seat of my dad's car with the keys in the ignition in just his boxers, the theory is my dad was showing him the previous day how to drive so he obviously got up to have a go himself.

Another time me and my other brother woke to hear this commotion down stairs, we noticed serial sleeper walker wasn't in his bed as usual so we didn't suspect a intruder, we got to the sitting room to find him after taking the brand new 32 inch tv down from its stand and putting the old one back on it, thankfully no damage was done, again that day we had all helped my parents set up the new telly and had left the old on in a box on the floor beside it, but he decided he didn't like the new telly.

Needless to say we don't let him light the fire or cook

Missmiddleton

I've been known to wake up with my slippers in my bed so maybe the odd sleepwalk
