Don't Make Me Use My Teacher Voice

Last night I came across the funniest article here. Reading the article was humorous enough but I rolled with laughter and some of the comments below it. Please take the time out of your busy lives to enjoy a laugh at these anecdotes!

I have plenty of stories myself about sleepwalking. I guess it runs in my family through my father's side. We are both that scary kind of sleepwalker that seem very livid and "awake" though we aren't. We're also the people you see on 20/20 who occasionally eat in their sleep but never remember it. My Mom claims to have woken up on several occasions, while they were still married, to find things like fudgesicles stuck to my father and his pillow.

Apparently, I also have done this a few times and had witnesses to tell me about it. Once, while on a Campus Life trip to Florida, I apparently had a lively conversation with my friends in our cabin while I ate another girls Little Debbie Cakes. She was very unhappy with me the other day and my friends couldn't believe that I only hardly remember speaking to them and nothing about eating. On another occasion, a friend of mine spent the night and explained to me the following day that I had come out of my bedroom at least 3 times, gotten a popsicle from the freezer and ate it in front of her.

Then there are the things that I have said in my sleep. Some of the more memorable things include:

• "Honey! There's Bologna Over here!!" -I dreamed that my fiance ( who used to sit on the couch and eat rolled up bologna, ICK!) had brought bologna to bed and it was coming out of the matress
  

• "You know, we should really consider installing that second windshield. You know..for the people." and later in the night "Mustaaang, Niiiiiice! F**kin' GTO!" - This was after a visit to the Auburn, Cord, Dusenburg Museum in Auburn, IN

• "*chuckling heartily then sighing..* Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy.."- This was recent!

• One night I "woke up" to find a spider web suspended in mid air above my face. I was dreaming of course. But I started shoving Bob going, "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" He just looked at me in shock. I said, "FINE! I will CRAWL over you!!" And I did. He says, "WHAT are you doing??" I waved my hand in the air and said.."Do THIS" He waves his hand and says.."Honey..there's nothing there." I said "I could have sworn I was awake." and went right back to bed and passed out.
• Also on the Florida trip I woke up in the middle of the night and leaned over the girls bunk next to mine, patted her on the head and said, "I hope you feel better, sweety." Then went back to sleep. That same trip I walked in..pantsless on my friend Kasondra while she was showering. She was apparently like, "Gina! I'm naked!" I guess I grumbled and said something like, "I don't f**king care..." then used the toiled and kept saying "f*ck" or so I'm told. I slightly remember going to the bathroom and kasondra being in there but thinking nothing of it.

Then there were the Ambien-induced sleepwalking incidents. I'm convinced thats what was going on with the girl in the article. My sister was on Ambien for a while and used to call me at night. We'd talk forever and she'd seem totally fine then just slowly start to get weird and have to go. I would always get a phone call the next day saying, "Gina..Adam (her husband) said I called you last night. What did we talk about?" haha

When insomnia became too much for me I too was prescribed Ambien. I once wrote a looooong blog about how much I loved my "mommy" and "should tell her more often". Yikes! The worst, though was something that happened at the IPFW dorms. Oh my.. First of all, I don't sleep with pants on. Its just too constricting for me. I'm sure everyone wanted to know that but its relevent..just humor me. On this occasion,my roommate heard me get up in the middle of the night and went to investigate. There she found me..with a full bag of garbage in one hand and my other hand about to open the apartment door and NO pants on! I was about to take the garbage out, in my sleep, with no keys (the door automatically locked because it was electronic). I would have been locked out..wandering around the parking lot with trash and no pants on. She said she looked at me and said, "Gina..what are you doing?" She said I just looked at her and looked confused and grumpy and then dropped the trash and said.."Im going back to bed!" and I did. LOL

Well that concludes my sleepwalking anecdotes. Please feel free to share yours!
