Sleep: Your stories of weird sleep behaviour
A recent article on the weird things people do in their sleep prompted many emails from readers about the odd things they have done. BBC website....Here's some interesting ones....
Josh Bliszko, Milton Keynes: I have a history of doing activities in my sleep ranging from eating to rummaging through the bottom of my wardrobe. My latest trick is changing light bulbs. And no, the light bulbs don't even require changing.
James, Bath: My wife watched me walk out of the house, get into my car and drive off. I returned 15 minutes later. It only happens occasionally and one particular time I got in the car and returned over an hour later. Having filled the car the previous day, I was able to calculate the mileage from the reset milometer. I had driven 35 miles. Nowadays my wife hides our car keys each night, I go for walks.
Peter Ramm, Stockport: I have done many strange things. I have woken up in the middle of the garden in the middle of the night sitting at the garden table. I was totally naked with cigar in one hand and cup of tea in the other. I have woken up inside the wardrobe in a hotel dreaming that I had gone blind. It was, of course, pitch black inside the wardrobe. I once came to in a hotel tidying my hair in my room mirror. I then realised that I was stark naked and the mirror was in fact a window at the end of a corridor on a different floor from where I was sleeping.
So, what weird thing do you do? Haha... Don't tell me: "Post blogs in your sleep?"

Jay Hanna, Ballymoney, Northern Ireland: I woke up one morning to an irate wife saying, "Come see what you did last night." She took me to the kitchen, opened a cupboard door and every cup and glass - 20 plus - had been filled to the brim. Not one glass or cup could have held a drop more of water and there was no spillage anywhere. Couldn't have done it when I was awake.....

Sleep behaviour It seemed like few couldn't behave well while sleeping and I could probably one of them
Not sure if I had tendency to walk in my sleep. My aunt, who used to live with my family, told me that one day I walked out of my room and went downstairs then walked to the living room during my sleep. I felt like I had my eyes opened that time when I walked down the stairs then walking to the living room. She followed me there and asked if I was OK when she saw my eyes opened. I hope that was the last time I did that kind of thing
I found out most of time when I was exhausted or falling sick (I guess it's normal for others too while they're sick, no?) , I was mumbling or grumbling or talking in my sleep. I am a light sleeper, so sometime I got woken up because of hearing myself mumbling Hopefully humming or even singing next time I do that
Enjoy it
