annie post 22 were you sleep walking too as you were sleep talking?

Once, when I was about 8 or 9 I woke the whole house up because I was shouting that I "couldn't find the wee-wee"

Oh I did that once, and then just stood on the landing and wet myself, then walked back to bed without noticing.

I didn't even go... I just shouted about it.

My brother used to wee in his toy box.

I remember talking in my sleep when I was about five or six. I was at my grandparents place with my cousin and we were sleeping in the same room. I wouldn't have even been aware of it but at one point in my dream, I could hear my cousin crying and so I started to whisper instead. The only thing I remember about the dream is a talking canary named Kermit.

My brother suffers from "night terrors" and he screams in his sleep. He also sleep walks and talks but never remembers his dreams or his sleepwalking adventures. One night I woke up to find him in my bed kicking me.

I don't really know if I talk in my sleep, there's usually no-one around to witness it. I did use to sleepwalk alot. I once changed my bed linnens while alseep.

weirdest one I did was when I was a kid. under 10yr old anyway. I got up in the middle of the night and laid all my books out in a big diagonal cross on the bedroom floor, going from on corner to the opposite. I have no recollection of this. Nor why I did it. Very odd.

I also used to have (dunno if I still do) the habit of sleeping with my eyes half open. Used to really freak my mother out apparently as she'd come in and think I was awake when I was in fact sound asleep!

*Shudder* I know a guy who does that... it's really creepy.

B occasionally sleeps with his eyes open - its certainly scared me on numerous occasions.

As for sleepwalking, I managed to remove most of my 'evening' clothes from a suitcase the night before I went on a school skiing trip - I ended up cadging all sorts from a huge range of people over the week.

I've also put a pair of stilts on upstairs and woke up to find myself attempting to walk downstairs on the things - luckily I stubben my toe and woke up to find myself on the landing.

I've seldom been told about any sleep-talking incidents, though my heart's desire does now say I tend to 'purr' slightly after a or two too many. . . (he used to call it 'snoring' - I mean, as if! )

Once, a few years ago, an aunt of mine from Canada called me in Spain (forgetting the time difference) and woke me up. Apparently I answered the bedside phone by yelling - I'M *NOT* ASLEEP! - and proceeded to chat away with her, though constantly returning the the fact that I was not asleep, was definitely *not* asleep, and hadn't been asleep when she called. The next morning I had a vague recollection of my aunt calling but wasn't sure if I'd just dreamt it until she told me about it later.

Answering the phone in the night is definitely a funny one Az. I once answered the phone in the middle of the night by picking it up and going "I was just about to call you" before I even knew who it was.

Also must store away "purring" so I never tell a girl she snores again. E stayed over last night and she snores, but it was quite sweet snoring, not evil snoring. She also kicked me REALLY hard!

I've just been told that I lightly and in quite a high voice go "hmmm" every time I roll over and that I automatically search for someone in the bed and if I find them I curl round them.
I have this horrible image of my hand just flapping around on the bed trying to find a body now!

I used to wake up to my alarm and think it was the phone ringing... I always picked up the receiver and said hello in an angry-sleepy voice wondering why it was still ringing.

Fortunately I haven't got a phone by my bed, otherwise I'd do that too . I have variously thought that the alarm going off was the phone, a fire alarm, and once (for reasons I haven't yet been able to fathom) I thought it meant I was sat in a field of which were all going "baa! baa!" in unison.

My husband says that when he gets up to go to the loo during the night and comes back into bed, even if I'm asleep I always manage to curl up around him again, sometimes before he's even finished getting back into bed properly .

Synchronised

Last night my little brother fell asleep on the couch watching a movie again and I hear from him "What's the band called?" It was really mumbled so I said "pardon?" and he said "What's the band named?" And I kept talking to him and he appeared to wake up so I told him what he had said and he replied "I thought he was in a band." And fell back down on the couch.
