Does anyone else suffer from this? How do you deal with it if you do? I get told all the time how I do both and that most of the time they think I'm awake because they say my eyes are open. I have been getting told I do this since I was young and still haven't found a way to get it to stop because I've also been told that I lash out when I'm alseep, which in my mind isn't a good thing. So any imput?....

sleep talking yes... One night i was at my ex's house asleep and we kept talking to each other like this

Me"Shh.. Don't tell any one!"

Evan"Oh I won't as long as you get off of my m&m's"

Me"I'm not on your m&m's but your melting mine!"

The reason i know this is because his little sister taped it and it is hilarious. We go on for about 2 hours.

My sister told me that one time I walked into her room and just slapped her and when she had caught up to me I was already back in my bed. I know my grandmother used to sleep walk and talk so I'm begining to wonder if maybe it genetics...She would sleep walk into the kitchen make a pot of coffee, fix herself a cup smoke a cigerette finish both and then get back in bed none the wiser till she saw the dishes in the sink when she woke up the next morning.

I do both as well, ever since I was a kid. My son does as well. I did actually read that in alot of cases it is hereditary. There are sleep centers the deal with sleep walking. It might be worth looking into. I don't lash out, but I tend to go outside. I just double check that the door is locked before I go to bed. My son will just walk around the house, I've had to direct him back to bed.

From the people I know that do it it is usually triggered by stress. I haven't heard of any cures for it.

I knew this guy who did it so bad he told me he had to be tied to the bed at night for a while because he almost crawled out of a window and drove a car while sleep walking!dunno

I have been known on occasion to sleepwalk as a child but not as an adult unless you count having to pee in the middle of the night and walking to the bathroom...dunno I have also under lots of stress woke up while talking.

Maybe you can talk to a sleep specialist???

I think the lashing out can be caused by stress to and I do have flash backs in my sleeps but people that know me know the difference, so that helps them know a little better how to react when they know which is which though from my understanding niether are pleasent.

My g-mother had flashbacks in her sleep too. When she was about 12 there was a fire and she had to jump from a second story window to keep from burning. This lasted all her life and I tell you it could be scary.

One of my ex-step sons used to sleep walk and talk quite frequently.
It got to the point that I could predict which nights it would
happen, and it was clearly stress related. If nothing had happened at
home I knew to start asking questions about school.

My daughter had episodes too where she would start yelling in her sleep. She had been through some trauma aat a very young age and aftermath...(long story) It was ALWAYS when she had stressful events going on.

This has happen to me a few times, on one occasion: My family has told me in the morning that I was up late at night and wrestling with the kids, joking with others. And I look at them and said "I don't remember any of it". They told me I did all this for at least an hour.

The other time I done the sleep walking was back in the late 80's. My wife and I had some of her family from kentucky come spend the weekend with us. I lived in a rough end of town, so I kept a hand gun under my pillow. Any how, I went to bed early and they stayed up playing cards. When I got up the next morning everyone was gone, including my wife and kids. My wife came home about noon and ask how I felt, I'm fine, I said. She said why did you pull your gun out last night? I looked at her and said "what the hell, you know I went to bed." She said yep, and an hour later you came out the gun in your hand. Bill (her cousin) made a joke about you having it and you mumbled something and shot 2 times at him. She said she tried to get me to put it away and I started to point it at her. She said thats when everyone left. She showed me 2 hole in the wall above the sofa, almost head level. Needless to say, My gun stay in a locker now.

I don't but I use to have a roommate that did and did we have fun with him.

He would be walking around the house, having conversations with us about crazy things and he would cook frozen pizza. He would turn the oven on put the pizza in and then fall back to sleep. Two to three hours later the house is full of smoke and one burned pizza in the oven.

And he would never remember any of it the next day.



But Bruce was alot of fun for a guy that was asleep laugh

We found my grandmother one morningout in her car like she was going to go to work but instead of her work clothes she was in her fancy red nighty, we laugh our butts off and were glad that she hadn't had the car keys.

I thought it was pretty cute..sometimes my daughter would be talking and giggling in her sleep. Once in a while she would respond to something I said but it seemed mostly with something she was dreaming.

It's strange to me but both my grandmother and I could and can hold full conversations though we don't remember any of it later.

One of my sisters is like that. She has a habit of getting up in the middle of the night and raiding the fridge. You can have a conversation with her and she appears to be awake but kind of groggy. She won't remember it though.

i talk in my sleep. if anyone carries on a conversation with me they sometimes wouldnt even know it until later when they ask me about something from that time. or other times is very obvious as my kids have reported we talked about purple leprechauns (their fav story). it can sometimes last 5 minutes or hours even. usually the clue i wasnt awake is after the convo i fall "asleep".
