Sleep Walking

[Rainbow]

The other morning I woke up in my spare room with no recollection of how I got there. I know I went to sleep in my own bed & the duvet covers confirmed this. Could I have slept walked? I have never done this before (as far as I am aware) although I do suffer from various sleep disturbences such as vivid dreams, waking uo wide awake at various times of the night & lucid dreams.

I was particulary worried about an event the following day & wondered if the two could be connected?

I presume you hadn't been drinking? Once whilst living in hall of residence a friend stayed in another friends room but sometime in the night got up and walked down a floor and along virtually the length of the building to get back to her own room. She had obviously taken her room key with her, but as evidenced by the fact that ALL her clothes were in the room she'd gone to sleep in she'd walked back starkers! I do believe alcohol was involved on this occasion!

Obviously this is at the extreme end of the spectrum, but there was a case in the papers a couple of weeks ago, where this chap committed rape while asleep, and if memory serves me correctly, a woman, while sleep walking, climbed a pylon and settled there for the rest of the night, and youve got the example spudqueen has cited, real sleep walkers generally don't remember anything, when or where they wake up, but if your really concerned, you should pay a visit to your GP.

there is nothing unusual about this,,, when i waqs younger i hada spare bed in my room as my sister had left home and i used to go to bed in one bed and wake up in the other... worrying about things dos disturb your sleep. i wouldnt worry too much about it x

You might want to check with your GP just to put your mind at rest, but speaking from personal experience I've only sleepwalked once in my life, and so I guess that it isn't a common occurrance for some, and if you've only had your first incident now, you may not have another at all.

Horrifically, I was a teenager when my Mum caught me banging around in my room one night and came in to investigate. I was apparently stood there in just my socks, eyes closed. When she asked me what I was doing I was insistent that I was 'going to Tesco'. She laid me down and I apparently just went back to sleeping normally. Never lived it down and never did it again. Weird.
