Have you ever injured yourself in your sleep?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Sean_Ludawg · 29-05-2009 12:59PM

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!

Hot Water bottles are the shit. Don't act like you dont know it baby...

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.

Have you ever injured yourself in your sleep?
