Anybody here who have tried sleepwalking??

Quote:

Jasmine will now move into a different bedroom at her home

A nine-year-old girl fell 30ft (9m) from her attic bedroom window while she was sleepwalking in the night. Miraculously, Jasmine Clark’s fall was broken by an old carpet left in the driveway just hours before, and she escaped with only cuts and bruises.
Her father, David Clark, said Jasmine had sleepwalked in the past but the family thought she had grown out of it.
She will now move into a different bedroom at her Scarborough home to ensure it does not happen again.
Jasmine said: “I was sleepwalking and then I opened the window and fell out onto the drive, and I felt myself on the drive.
“When I woke up I felt like I had grazes all over me.”
Gaping wound
The noise of her fall alerted Jasmine’s parents, who ran outside to find her lying on the carpet in the driveway.
Mr Clark said: “She had a gaping wound to her chin and blood everywhere, and she was screaming for me.
“I ran to her and lifted her into my arms to try and comfort her.”
Dr Andy Volans, of Scarborough Hospital, said Jasmine had been “very, very lucky”.
He said: “There is an old wives’ tale that you don’t injure yourself if you sleepwalk, but physics would suggest that if you fall that far, you have got to hurt yourself.”

She is a very lucky girl :weee:

Yeah, lucky indeed!

I remember when I sleepwalked once. I was only about 7 years old and my grandparents were looking after me for the night as my Mum had gone out.

In my sleep I decided that I needed the toilet but in my bizzare sleep state the natural place to go was in a milk bottle in the cupboard downstairs. I got downstairs but my grandad checked to see what I was doing. I told him I needed the toilet… next thing he is struggling to drag me up the stairs to the real toilet whilst I’m hanging on to the banister shouting “noooo I need to go to the toilet really bad”

I could kinda remember it the next day and it seemed the most natural and normal thing to do at the time and I didn’t understand why he was stopping me.

haha

iv heard stories of peeps peeing in strange places(kitchin bin, airing cupboard, washin basket) but its usualy down to exessive alcohol consumption.

as for sleep walking i do suffer, mainly when i was young but recently i have had a few episodes, some quite scary.
one the other week i was halfway out of my bathroom window!!!(downsatirs).
it really freaked me out. i really cant explain it. its as if im dreaming cos all i can remember is i was trying to get away from something. about 3 months ago i had another really scary one where i was trying to lift my bed , holding it up against the window cill:you_crazy again i think it was me acting out a dream cos i drempt about someone being stuck under a car. other less freaky ones are where i wake up next the light switch.
TBH i think its down to smokin before i go to bed. i find when i do this i cant sleep properly, waking up as if iv had no sleep at all. maybe its down to that?

Thats odd you should say that because someone I met said something similar to me last week.

His comments were that, after not having smoked for a long time, he smoked one evening and he was really grouchy and snappy the next day and a few days after – he thought it was odd and repeated the whole not smoking for ages and then smoking again a couple of months later and had the same results.

His theory is that smoking hash interferes with your ability to sleep properly [he never dreams if he has smoked] and that this loss of proper sleep patterns is what makes him so cranky the next day. Maybe the sleepwalking after smoking is also a result of the loss of dreaming sleep.

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Sometimes sleep walk when i drink, but only if i have beer and then vodka. And will be coherant before going to bed an havnt drunk for like an hour before. But still manage to get up, an start sleep walking. One time i was at a party and slept walked to the top of the stairs only to relieve myself down them. another time was waking up stood outside my room in the hotel, stark bollock naked. God knows where i had bin. (did get some funny looks from the night porter the next day, but i think that may have just been me)

ive slepwalked quite a few times before, but not for a while.

as for the sleeping and dreaming thing, ive gave up smoking bongs recently after gettin a week headstart while away, and after about two weeks my sleeping has become regular with no problems gettin to sleep.
and ive been having the most vivid dreams ive ever had. not bizzarre ones where wierd shite happens, but about everyday things that have affected me recently, and i can remember them clearly as soon as i wake up.

as raj says, i think smokin definitly afects your body clock and sleep routine. i now feel more refreshed, happy, energetic, chatty and i even have more of an appatiete!
