Guest Andrea Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 My husband sleep walks. Last night he tried to climb out of the bedroom window. When I asked him what he was doing he started rambling about baseball and pasta. This morning he doesn't remember it. Kinda freaked me out. Funny? Not to me. Anyone here ever dealt with this??

rhine16 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've never dealt with anyone sleepwalking..... well except for me. My brother always tells a story about waking up in the middle of the night because he heard me running. when he came in my room, he said i had a folded pair of socks acting as if i was playing baseball. Like i was hitting them and then running the bases. That was when i was like 10 . I dont believe him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yep. Son #2 has done that a few times. Not in some time though. It is freaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've never done more than talked in my sleep. I have actually had short conversations with my parents though, that I don't remember at all once I woke up. I do remember hearing a story about my cousin sleep walking. He got up, walked down stairs, told his dad he was checking on the toilet paper, did that, and went back to bed. weird. I've never really thought of the scary aspect of it until now. That could easily cause for some major injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant-KS Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 One night when I was 9-10 I got up, went to the kitchen, and put as many dishes as would fit from the cupboard into the dishwasher and went back to bed. My job was to load the dishwasher, but why I put clean ones from the cupboard into the dishwasher is beyond me. I went back to bed and slept the rest of the night.

Guest Andrea Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 This isn't the first time he's done this. And his mother said he did it when he was little too. Really weird. I have NO experience with this at all. ( My family was normal, lol) Seems it's been happening more frequently. Wonder what he'd do if I threw cold water on him. ( He's a very hard sleeper. He slept right through Hurricane Ivan) I wonder if what they say is true though about waking people who are sleepwalking. They say it's very dangerous.

OJR Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sounds like he is stressed out and sleeping very hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I used to sleepwalk and talk in my sleep a lot when I was younger and then later in life on occasion when I was working at a very stressful job. This will probably sound funny but when I was younger the thing that stopped me from sleepwalking the most was when I bought a water bed - don't know if I was more comfortable or I if it was just harder to get out of the bed. My brother was the one that had to deal with me for the most part, his room was across the hall and he would either hear me moving around or hear me talking. His remedy was to just turn on the light and say "Gary your sleepwalking go back to bed" and I would, next morning he'ld tell me what happened. For the most part I stayed within my room, but there were times I ventured farther, to my knowledge I never made an attempt to go outside the house. Like I said for the most part I grew out of it but I do have issues with it sometimes when things have gotten extremely stressful. I remember being on a business trip and waking up one night, standing with my hand on the door handle to my hotel room (still in my room), didn't hear any stories the next morning or anyone giggling when I walked by so I'm pretty sure I didn't leave my room LOL.

Ohiobucks Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I still do it from time to time. Never been outside, but I have made it to the shower a time or two getting ready for work at 2:00am.... Just the other night, I swatted my pillows off of the bed, I dreamed there was some sawdust on a board, so I swiped it clean, knocked my pillows into my alarm clock stand and everything fell to the floor in a pretty loud fashion. My wife jumped and said (in not so nice terms....), "What the heck are you doing?!!?" I've dreamt there were birds flying in our rooms, snakes under my pillows, used an imaginary cordless drill on my wife's head, grabbed my wife's face like I was palming a basketball, saw my daughter standing on our dresser and yelled at her to get down before she hurts herself.......the list goes on and on. My poor wife is a saint, much like you Andrea. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 My brother walked across the street to my neighbor's house when he was like 6 or so. He was in his underwear and knocking on their door at around midnight. One time when my wife and I first started living together, I grabbed her in a head lock and when she tried to get away from me, I just squeezed tighter. She was scared and I didn't remember anything. Makes me stress to her not to put our daughter in bed with us especially if I don't know she's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachflock Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 My brother sleep-walked as a child. He'd get up, walk out into the living room and just stand there. Never made it outside but it was something my parents worried about. According to my sister-in-law she has conversations with him that he doesn't remember but hasn't walked in his sleep in the 10 years they've been married. My dad suffered from post-tramautic stress syndrome (Viet Nam '66-'67) and I rmember him walking in his sleep; fighting battles in his sleep; crawling around a jungle I couldn't see, etc. Looking back it was pretty scary but I have a better understanding of what it was all about now.

HarvDog Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Evidently I do have conversations with my wife while I'm sleeping but, to my knowledge, I have never done any sleepwalking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I never have been a sleep walker. Im a sleep talker and honestly dont do it nearly as much any more. I have only slept walked once to my rRecollection. My cousin and I were sleeping in mom and dad's camper one night. I work up the next morning on the couch in the house?! No sure how I got in there but I had somehow migrated overnight.... That was scary enough for me, let along climbing out a window.... :crazy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Walked while sleepy yes, sleep walked, don't know for sure? Our older two have talked in their sleep, the wife has too, but cannot say as though they have ever really walked in their sleep where I would necessarily call it sleep walking.

spyderpancake Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I've had plenty of experience...this could be a kinda long post! The first was my older brother. One time when he was about 8 he was in bed, and my mom and older sister were talking in the livingroom. Well, my brother walked in and before they knew it, he had lifted up the cushion on the couch and was, um, relieving himself! I'm the one that does it the most though. Let me try to pick the best stories! Once, my friend was over so i was sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag. He woke up to me swinging the sleeping bag at the corner of the ceiling and wall for all i was worth. When he woke me up, i said that i was putting out a fire! In another fire dream, I dreamed i was in a burning airplane that was going down, and i punched out the windowpane in my bedroom trying to get out! That kinda hurt when i woke up... Several times i have woke up in the woods behind my house, once i woke up when i was coming back in the house and had locked the door behind me. The funniest was in 2004 i think, the night of the superbowl. I was so excited b/c my panthers had made it(although they disappointed me). That night i jumped out of bed, took off running down the hall, and my brother chased after me(he was used to having to wake me up). I swear, i was on a football field and he was in a uniform, and the ball was coming to me, and i was running around the safety(which ended up being a sofa) and caught the ball, after which i got tackled in the endzone. My brother shook me awake, and i was screaming "I won the superbowl!!!) It was weird b/c i could see him, but he was in my dream... I used to sleepwalk all the time, almost nightly for a while. I would walk around with my eyes open, and could see everything, but could also see things that weren't really there...make sense? I didn't think so! It got to the point that i would get up to go to the bathroom and my brother would jump on me in the hall, shining a flashlight in my face and telling me to wake up! I'd be like "It's ok man, just gotta pee!!!" That happened all the way thru high school, i did it the first week of college-woke up down the hall of my dorm with my blanket and pillow in hand, completely confused about where i was! Since then it has only happened once, when i went to a friends house. I don't really know what to tell you Andrea, try to wake him up, but realize that it will take a few minutes for the fog to clear in his mind, while he is trying to figure out what is real and what isn't. One thing's for sure, the more sleep you get, the less likely it is to happen...hope this helps or at least entertains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Funny stories. When I try to "wake" him he gets very angry and tells me to leave him alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
