I've walked out into the garden once and just stood their for half an hour. I've started to make myself dinner, I've hit myself in the face, I've hit others in the face, bruised myself and talked. Many people sleep soundly, the occasional dream but not much else. In that way I can call myself kind of special.
But others have done things that can put my antics to shame. It's amazing that some people can do things in their sleep that they would never do in their waking hours or end up doing something outrageous and not remember it at all.
It's amazing how the human mind works without us knowing it.
I looked up some crazy things that people have done in their sleep on the internet and it surprised me with how people could do these kind of things without realizing.
A fifteen year old girl from England climbed to the top of 130ft crane in her sleep. She was found at 2am where firefighters asked her parents to wake her so they could get her down safety.
An Australian woman would sleepwalk out of her house at night and pick up complete strangers and then have sex with them. Her husband found out when he saw used condoms around the house. He followed her out at night and caught her having sex with a man she did not know and found that she was still asleep. The part of her mind that stops her from moving in her dreams wasn't working properly so she would move alot in her sleep.
Someone in the 1900's got out of bed and walked to his in law's house. When he arrived he strangled his father-in-law into unconsciousness and stabbed his mother-in-law to death afterwards. He was not found guilty because he was asleep and did not remember doing this at all after he woke up.
People have also conducted, driven, swum, emailed, scoffed themselves and jumped out a window in their sleep. About 10% of people actually sleep walk but only a few of them actually do something extremely out of the ordinary in their sleep.
Hopefully nothing happens to me tonight!
