I never have but my wife did when she was on Ambien. Its ironic that it's used to treat insomnia. She'd go to bed and I'd be up reading or watching TV and she'd just wander around the house as naked as a jay-bird with no memory of it the next day. She finally got off of that and it hasn't happened since.

Interesting. Everyone's stories make me not feel as bad or guilty when I talk or sit up in bed. I have sleep walked (I guess, slept walked?) a few times in my 29 years, but I occasionally do it a few times a month.

I will wake up next to my fiance, spout some nonsense about what I need to do or who I need to see, get frustrated, and go back to sleep. I usually get annoyed when I realize I cannot do it at that given time or my fiance is unwilling to negotiate. She got irritated at first with me, when he believed me to be awake. Now, she's found a way to talk to me, and to lay back down. It's really weird. :sad:

However, she also plays asks me silly questions while sleep talking, and I reply with nonsensical incoherent answers, giving her a good laugh. Once I told her, "Horses don't need umbrellas. Coca-cola has bananas." WTF?! Yea, I know. :icon_confused: :icon_rofl:



I would suggest a psychologist as well, if it's that severe. It comes from a lack of sleep, and internal stress. Do you think laying off the caffeine and alcohol, or even purchasing a new mattress would help?

I've read (from multiple sources, including psychology texts) that sleeping in not ideal conditions can wreak havoc on your duration and quality of REM. An old mattress with worn springs can be hard on your back, and not be conducive to proper rest.

Also, guys, come on! Urinate and don't drink a pitcher of water before you go to sleep! :icon_thumby:

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!

not much of a sleep walker definatly very active in my sleep, i yell and talk alot, apparently one time i had a friend over and we were watching a movie i fell asleep on the couch, i got up stood infront of the tv and told him to be a man and eat his food, scratched my balls and layed back down on the couch, but dont remember it. i also like to hit my girlfriend in the face in my sleep. no clue why.

back in high school i woke up 1 hour after i went to sleep, and took a shower, got dressed, got completely ready for school, walked downstairs and started to leave and my mom had to pry me away from the door because i was certain that i needed to go to school. she told me to go back to my room, dont remember that either

I was living in New Bedford MA many years ago. A couple friends came up one weekend for a visit. We went out, drank a lot, came home and crashed. 4:00 in the morning I'm lying in bed and I hear this "liquid splashing on the rug" kinda sound. No clue why, but I IMMEDIATELY knew exactly what it was. I bolted up in bed, and there in the middle of the room is one of my buddies pissing all over the rug just as happy as can be. "CRAIG!!! STOP!!!" or something similar I yelled. He just turns his head, looks at me with glassy eyes, and says "...no... no... It's OK.... It's OK..." all the while pissing away. I think I realized that that point he was asleep and I yelled a lot more and he woke up, looked down, stopped pissing, and then went into about a half hour of profuse apologizing while he sopped up his mess. It made a funny story back then :)

I can tell you its not alcohol or matress. I don't drink and the matress is new. I don't drink pop either and only recently have a started drink a cup of coffee a day. I usually only drink water and milk. With a a cup of mcdonalds tea at least once a week. I don't smoke either. I just work drink water, go home eat whatever drink some milk, try to sleep. Then start all over.

I have a friend in Georgia named Terry. He had problems with sleepwalking all his life. One night he was sleepwalking and walked right off the edge of his deck and fell about 30 feet. Now he is in a wheelchair for life. For your own safety if you sleepwalk you need to try to find some way to control it.

robertc1024 i take that same thing and i guess i act like an octopus in the middle of the night whenever i take it, but back to sleep walking i do it atleast once a week i have caused three fires in my house cause of trying to make hot chocolate in the cardboard container on the stove and i have walked back stage at a concert when i was 5 i have also ended up at the police station under arrest cause they thought i was on drugs streaking untill they talked to my doctor and he told them i sleep walk alot, they dont know what the cause is for it being all the tim but they did find out that on the nights i eat fried chicken or even during the day i sleep walked that night everytime so maybe a food or drink is causing some of u to sleep walk idk
