A couple of weeks ago, I was sleepwalking. Have you ever experienced it?

Do you have any experience in sleepwalking? Perhaps your husband or wife sleepwalks, or perhaps you do it yourself.
A couple of weeks ago, I was staying in a hotel. I was asleep, but awoke because I bumbed my leg into something. Suddenly I was awake, standing up, and feeling pain in my leg. I now have a wound on my leg, and it will probably become a scar!
A few nights ago, I woke up at 9 o'clock, to find out that my alarm hadn't gone off. I had apparently in my sleep unplugged my alarm clock.
My father and sister do things like this too. My mother had to wake up my sister a number of times when she was screaming against her wall!
Tell me your sleepwalking experiences!

Well, it seems that you are a family of sleep walkers. Just joking. I have not experienced such. Perhaps you should make sure that you don't sleep walk into something dangerous like, sleepwalking through the staircase or perhaps falling out from the window. Well, I think there are people who are like that who does something in their sleep yet never knew that they did. I am not one of them.

I have slept walked in the past. My grandmother has as well. I was a kid and had to go to the bathroom, I went in the kitchen sink apparently.... not sure why I went there instead of the bathroom though.

It could have been stress related, I think stress can cause sleepwalking.

As far as I know I have never experienced sleepwalking. Your family must keep your mother on her toes!

I never had such experience but my second son use to have this problem.
I said problem becoz,it is really a problem for us.
Once he sleep walks and open the tv sets,but he just lay down on sofa and sleeps again.
Then,one time,he is about to pee and walk right through the stairs and was about to open his fly,good thing is i saw him and followed him (suspecting him of sleep walking)
He also had the habit of sleep talking.
I hope this will be over or else he will find himself taking a bath while sleeping
Have a good weekdays ahead![](/Content/images/emotes/cool.gif)

I don't think I have ever truly sleepwalked. Then again, if I was doing it, I might not know it and have always found my way back to my bed. If I had ended up in a place that was odd, then that would be a good indicator that I was doing such a thing. However, I have not done all that much sleepwalking all things considered.
I think the closest that I have done is pace around my room when I am half asleep. Maybe I have the intention of going to the bathroom. However, I turn around and get right back in bed. We tend to do some strange things when we are rather groggy. Well at least I do. Still I have not have sleptwalked. At least not technically, as I was rather half awake when I did my journey around the room.

I'm sorry that I don't have any kind of sleepwalking experiences. But there have been quite a few rare occasions where I have been screaming in my sleep and one of my other family members had to wake me up. It was quite a scary dream I remember. I wonder if people sleepwalk because they have really stressed out lives or maybe they don't even remember sleepwalking and their mind has taken over completely without them knowing it.

Screaming in your sleep? That's pretty weird as well... One time, my friends told me I had spoken in my sleep. I said something like:'I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm not getting any food.' It was quite strange as well!
I don't think I sleepwalked because of stress, because I was on vacation at that moment!

Can't really say that I have experienced this. I have known people that have experienced this and from what they told it, it is quite the surreal experience when they wake up. Then again, that is really to be expected. I mean, you think that you are in your bed and then you wake up in a place that you were in fact not. That has to really mess with your head for sure.
I am a rather light sleeper. If I for instance sit up or my arm goes numb because I was on top of it, I really do wake up a lot of the time. I think that it would take approximately two steps before I woke up. Then again who knows. Still sleepwalking is an interesting thing to look up and a lot of the reasons for it. It is quite the fascinating subject for sure.

Yes, it really is quite freaky when you wake up and you're not in your bed, but some place else. I find it quite fascinating as well. I also talk in my sleep apparently, so maybe that has something to do with the sleepwalking as well. When I was younger, I was sleeping over at my friend's house, and I appear to have been repeating that I was hungry, and that I wasn't getting food... Strange!

In my memory, there is one incident. I remembered I am sleeping on my bed the night before and when I woke up, I find myself on my parents' bed. When I asked them how did I end up there, they told me that I have walked over in the middle of the night and just lie there. So they just let me be.

today my roommate asked me that whether he turned off the light yestday, i said"yes".then he told me that he may have a sleepwalks last night. "why do you konw you had it last night" i asked . he said when he awoke this morning he found that the light was burning and the adhesive plaster which was thrown on the floor stuck on him left feet . so he can confirm that he had a sleepwalks.

I had once experienced it, when I was 12 years old and I had got a lot of lectures for that but I still don't understand what was my fault in that!

I am not sure that I have ever slept walked but I know there are times I have found bruises, etc. and not known how I got them. My problem can be the opposite... Waking up to use the restroom, and then fall asleep and not wake up for hrs. and think I'd only been there for minutes. But usually I would never get the urge to move from there until I am mostly awake.
