Sleepwalking

[frogmarch]

Now that I'm disabled, I can't sleepwalk anymore, but this morning when I first came to, I found myself trying to check my email with the TV remote while sitting on the couch, where I'd fallen asleep last night. It took me a few minutes to fully wake up and realize why it wasn't working. At least I didn't try to sleepwalk - and fall over the coffee table again.

I've been a sleepwalker for as far back as I can remember, and even though I can't sleepwalk anymore, I still wear daytime clothes to bed, just in case.

1. be careful!

My daughter and I have had some incidents during stressful times. Often surprised I haven't fallen down stairs or stepped out a window.

2. So far when I've tried to stand up

and grab onto my walker, it hurts enough that I'm sure it would wake me up. Lucky me, because I have stairs and windows.

You and your daughter be careful too!

3. Oh, dear. Stay safe.

My younger brother used to sleepwalk when he was 8 years old. It didn't last very long, fortunately.

4. That's good. Glad he is over it.

I wish I had outgrown it before I was 16 and my dad found me on the garage roof talking to someone who wasn't there. He woke me gently, but it startled me, and I woke up (sort of) and jumped down. Nothing broke, but my right foot still hurts sometimes.

Other than a few silly sleep issues, I am prefectly normal.
