Sleep Walker
by MY Revised Journal:
I've read that less then 1% of the adult population sleep walks.
Yet, i do on a fairly regular basis, though much less often then i used to when i was a kid. I've even gone out of my house during my sleep walking fiascos.
So, i don't really believe that statistic could be correct, it seems so unlikely that i could be in that small category of the population.
Anyway, this is what yahoo health describes it as:
Sleepwalking (aka Somnambulism) includes
-eyes open during sleep
-may have blank facial expression
-may sit up and appear awake during sleep
-walking during sleep
-other detailed activity during sleep, any sort
-no recall of the event upon awaking
-confusion, disorientation on awakening
-sleep talking is incomprehensible and non-purposeful

I talk and snore in my sleep and steal covers, but no sleepwalking...
this isn't a journal entry. please make a thread in the general chat forum
i was thinkin that. can we copy my comment or will i have to type it again?
wait, why does this not qualify as a journal?
read what it says on the New Journal page.
the coal is gonna turn to a diamond Ian. haha
haha, wow, you're such a sweetie!! i love it
hahahaha... it's already a diamond. it's gonna be superbraniumdiadem now
i get crazy in my sleep. i've been known to:
1)shoot straight up from being sound asleep and talk and yell and then fall fast asleep even though i don't remember doing it.
2)i broke my pinky once in my sleep
3)i have to keep my nails so short cuz i scratch my face up because i get so violent. once woke up with bruised eyes and looked like a knife had been swiped all over my face but it was only cuz on the long fingernails.
woah, thats pretty intense
certain ones of my girlfriends and i have been known to carry on conversations with each other in our sleep. their mom taped it cus we didn't believe her. also one of them started speaking german in her sleep and she doesn't speak german....i have a million stories like this.
well that is kinda scary...
german...like in 99 red balloons...
99 red balloons, floating in the summer sky!
thats so crazy. speaking language you dont' know only when others can speak it back to you.
what always kills me is occasionally i dream in perfect fluent spanish but yet why am i not so amazing at speaking the language when i'm awake?!
I used to dream in French! and I am very bad at speaking french.
that's cuz dreaming is often what we wish we could do in real life. ever read the BFG by road dahl and he blows dreams into childrens windows?? and then he captures the nightmares so nobody gets them? good stuff.
so basically yahoo is describing what its like if you were 'awake'
wow. sleepwalking is pretty neat. i've only done it a few times when i was young. the thing i'm worried about is that i talk in my sleep pretty often AND i snore sometimes! i'm worried for my wife when i get married. i guess i'll just wear a muzzle and nose plugs. poor thing...
andrew & I carry on conversations in our sleep sometimes and i know of at least two instances where i walked in my sleep. the first time i only knew b/c i dreamed that i took my hamster's cage and dropped it in the middle of the hallway and the next morning my mom was like why was your hamster cage broken all over the hallway. guess i wasn't just dreaming
the worst thing i do in my sleep is get ready to go out...this includes doing bathroom stuff like putting toothepaste on my toothebrush...(though i've never brushed my teeth), putting my hair back, and...worst of all...turning my alarm clock off...
thats the reason i was late for my second day of school....arg...stupid sleep walking
i must be british for the day...last time i checked americans said toothbrush...
oh well...
when i was younger i lost a toothe in a shoppe...so i have to take a lift to the second...whatever
hahahah i'd mark that as funny if i could. but i can't
yeah, but, you can look at this as both a blessing and a malidiction..because, sure, this sleepwalking thingy poses some negative, you can walk out onto the highway, and get hit by a mack truck, and that possiblity is something to fear..BUT, hey, look @ the bright side, you can get away w/practically anything...haha, you could like snatch your parents atm card & withdraw $500..and then just blame it on your sleepwalking problem..see where I'm going w/this?
dude. you want her to pretend to sleep walk, steal her parents money, and then you two go away to st. thomas. well, she's not interested in anyone but me, because i'll clean her whale tank! so there!
oh yeah, dan i forgot to ask....how much money do i need to steal again?
arrgghh...how'd you figure that out man?...I had it all planed out & everything..guess it's back to the drawing board..haha...but, know this, WE WILL GO TO ST. THOMAS, AND IT WILL BE FUNDED BY PARENTAL MONEY, MARK MY WORD
ha ha, Man these storys are funny, I dont think I talk or sleep walk. atleast no one has told me, I know Brandon talks in his sleep, He' says they funniest things, My sister talks in her sleep to!
i've slept walk manny times.. a bunch of times i'd wake up in my parents bed... i'd even sleep nap.. take a nap during the day and end up in some other room. one time.. i ran out into my living room... screamed.. took off my boxers... and stood still... then went back to my room. another time i went out.. my dad gave me milk.. i mumbled something and poured it all in the sink.
dude, this is gonna sound crazy. and i know you don't know me well or anything. but i had a dream i was kung fu fighting you and you were beating me. i couldn't kick very high because i had jeans on. and you had a girlfriend standing nearby and i grabbed her and held a pencil to her neck, like i was gonna kill her and you stopped. it was all very matrixy. neat, eh?
really. of course i was beating you , thats no newsbreak... but holding a pencil to my girls neck.. dude... next time in your dream.. i'm going to kill you just for that. JERK ! i hate you.
for THAT, sonny chiba, in my next thai kung fu duel i'm gonna throw pencils like shurikens at your girlfriend until she looks like a pin cushion.
I had and episode sleep walking once, i peed in my sister closet.... it was funny.
i'm sure your sister thought it was hilarious
