Chitchat Weirdest thing you've done in your sleep

[Corrosion]

I'm talking about the things you've done in your sleep without knowing i.e. sleepwalking, sleeptalking, etc.

I remember around ten or so years ago I woke up one morning in a different room than the one I fell asleep in. I was staying at my grandparents' place then, and my aunt and grandmother were discussing outside. Apparently I had woken up in the middle of the night, stood up, and walked out the door of my room. My aunt was working late that night, and when she asked me what I was doing this late at night I turned to her and said, "I'm going home."

Yeah. There are a couple others, but this is definitely the one I remember most.

 

[myfanwy]

one of the most recent things would be my mum walking into my room to check up on me and hearing

“don’t worry mum, she’s not catholic”

other than that i’d have to check my sleep app for funnier things. i also don’t breathe in my sleep, prompting her to have a little compact mirror to stick under my nose to make sure i’m still alive

Wow, wonder what you were dreaming about then.

I remember hearing my mom talking about flaming chickens while asleep in the next room.

 

[Saccharine Cyanide]

When I was a kid, my mom came into my room and said, "Oh, you went back to bed?" I was confused because no, I'd just woken up.

But apparently a few minutes before, I had gotten out of bed, walked down the stairs, opened the fridge, stared at it blankly, closed it and went back to bed without saying a word. Apparently, it was all done in an especially mechanical and creepy manner.

I guess I got sleep-hungry.

 

[Saccharine Cyanide]

Wait, I actually have a weirder one, but it was my sister and not me. She used to sleepwalk and put canned food in her shoes.

Yep, that's pretty weird.

 

[Daisie]

Uhhh...
I sit up in my bed, eyes open, look at my family, and actually reply to them. We have a full on conversation, replying to each other and everything. The only problem is that nothing I say actually makes sense, and I start getting frustrated because I can't get my point across to them, whatever it may be. And I don't mean "they can't understand me" as in I'm mumbling and they can't hear me. I mean I'm talking in full English very clearly, and actually stringing together coherent sentences. They just... Don't make too much sense. Once I was talking about Batman and the beach or something.

My fam started to catch on to this. What threw them off though is that whenever they'd directly ask me if I was asleep, I'd deny it to their face, so seemingly lucid.

They also learned that I usually start getting frustrated when I realize they can't understand what I'm trying to tell them, so now they've just learned to nod along, paying attention. Eventually I'll just... Lay back down and go back to "sleep".

I only seem to do this when I'm super stressed though.. And sometimes I can remember some of it. I'll ask my family in the morning if I talked to them, because I faintly remember doing it. Sometimes I can't, though. Sometimes the stories they tell me of my sleep talking don't even ring a bell, like the "Batman and the beach" one I mentioned earlier. I also apparently mentioned an artifact of some sort to my brother, which I don't remember, either.

Really friggin weird. We discovered this when I had to sleep on a mattress downstairs with my mom sleeping on the couch next to me. I'd actually call her and wake her up to ramble to her in my sleep. Sorry, mum.

Edit: I've just been informed that it's not always clear and perfect English. I DO mumble a lot and speak made up words. It's just the times when I don't do that are the funniest and most memorable ones.

Wait, so are you like aware of what goes on around you or anything? And can you remember what happened when you wake up?

 

[The Hero]

I have been known to strip when I'm asleep which makes for an awkward sleepover or camping trip.

Kinda sorta half-aware? It's difficult to describe. Sometimes I'll feel conscious and quite awake, and everything I say just MAKES SENSE somehow. But in the morning I'll remember it and realize that my mind was kinda being screwy and didn't make sense at all, and I was really in this weird sleep-ish state. To the point where I sometimes can't remember if it was actually a dream or not.

But other times I'll say things I don't even remember in the slightest. Won't even ring a bell. Not a single feeling of "Hey, I maybe might sorta remember doing that".

The whole thing is really strange and indescribable. I wish I could paint a better picture.

 

[AnimeGenork]

I'm pretty sure... the weirdest was flinging all of my blankets on the floor, somehow finding another one, and waking up to this blanket over me that hadn't been over me the night before

I was very concerned

I've also had a fully coherent conversation with my mother that I didn't remember at all when she told me I was awake when I agreed to help her out with something

 

[MikaboshiEinst]

Hmmm mine was sleep stripping...

No kidding.. Sleep. Stripping.

I fell asleep with clothes on and wake up naked. When i checked it up, it shows me asleep peeling of my clothes while under the covers.

 

[elextrified]

I HAVE SO MANY OF THESE; i’m notorious for thrashing around and making noises in my sleep.

my absolute favorite was about a year ago. apparently i was fake crying in my sleep (similar to what someone would do to a toddler to make them feel bad) only i was being really loud. i was dead asleep, my face was completely blank, and i had my mouth wide open making sobbing/whining noises. my sister said she had heard me and came in to check because she thought i was seriously crying. when she realized my eyes were closed she tapped me to see if i was really asleep, and apparently i just closed my mouth and stopped whining. when i woke up and she told me about it, i had no recollection of doing that or what i had even been dreaming about.

another favorite of mine was the time i was spending the night at a relative’s house and was asleep on the floor in front of a dresser. according to this relative i had rolled to face the dresser, proceeded to kick the hell out of it a few times, and then just rolled over, still asleep as if nothing had ever happened. i woke up in the morning and had to go to the emergency room because i couldn’t walk on said foot; turns out i had ended up fracturing my metatarsal.

 

[D U H]

i remember once when i was in middle school it was the season of finals so being deprived of all tv

i sleep walked down stairs to the tv my mother was in the kitchen and she was questioning me where i was going,

i full on screamed at her and told her while i was crying, "i wanna go watch tv."

i woke up in the morning in my room

both my parents were mad at me and they thought i planned everything

 

[InsultingBunny]

Let this know I am a really avid sleep talker; to the point where I will continue conversations with others for hours after I have been asleep.

When I was 15, sharing a bedroom with my older sister; we had watched a musical that night.
During the night I had a full out musical with me singing for 2 hours. She would wake me up and I’d go back to sleep and continue sleep singing.

 

[Idea]

I think the weirdest thing I do when I'm asleep is that I have developed a bad habit of turning off my alarms without waking up. It's not even that I wake up and turn them off while I'm still sleepy: I just turn them off while still asleep.

 

[HelloThere]

I have a few;

A couple years back--this is the first time I'd ever sleep-walked--my brothers and parents had decided to watch a movie. I was asleep in bed...or so I thought. I wake up the next morning and everyone is asking me why I got out of bed and watched the movie. I kept insisting I didn't, then it dawned on me; I must have sleep-walked.

Another time I had fallen asleep and the next morning my mother told me that I had gotten up and walked into the bathroom where she was getting ready for bed. She looked at me, thinking I was awake, and asked;
"What are you doing out of bed?"
According to my mother, I replied with;
"I need to rinse my toothbrush."
At this, she said she told me that she would do it for me, and then I returned to bed. Needless to say, I laughed my ass of at this. To this day, it's still the funniest thing I've ever heard I'd done in my sleep.

There was also another time where I was having a dream about my favorite rooster (we have chickens) being butchered to eat. Now, I don't have a problem with eating meat, I love it! But I get attached to animals very quickly, especially when me or my siblings give them a name. I remember crying in my dream only to wake up and hear myself still whimpering.

Oh my goodness, that would be horrible. I love my roosters and hens with all my heart, and I could never have them butchered. They really are sweethearts.

 

[poison goth]

Alright guys. So one night my sleep was messed up. Somehow, I managed to get off my AFO, my blankets, my pillows, all of that. I have a loft bed. Also, I woke up sitting straight up. Probably not the strangest thing though.

 

[It_Do_Be_Like_Dat]

I've been told by multiple people (family AND unfortunate friends) that I sing, SCREAM, and LAUGH M A N I A C A L L Y I N M Y S L E E P .

I apologize in advance whenever I'm invited to a sleepover...

 

[Kai-Bird]

My ex-girlfriend once claimed that when I was sick and on antidepressants, I took a bunch of sleep aids to fall asleep and promptly said Someone is standing in the corner of my mind, he does not move, he does not breathe, but he will always watch over the real monster in my head before passing out for sixteen hours. I have no memory but she was a little bit scared for a while afterwards. We still joke about it to this day. ​

 

[FoolsErin]

I’m not a sleep walker or talker (to my knowledge anyway), but I certainly do toss and turn. Like, I take extra precautions to lay out my sheets across my bed, and I wake up entangled in the oddest ways possible. I’ve woken up tied up in them like a cocoon laying in an uncomfortable position, woken up with my blankets nigh-choking me, etcetera. Tucking my sheets into my mattress is a REQUIREMENT. I’m also very unpleasant to share a bed with. I’ve been told I’m both a blanket hog AND like sleeping with a bag of hangers. (Well, only by my mom after circumstances like crowded hotel rooms.)

Also, my brother used to (and might still) grind his teeth in his sleep. LOUDLY. Worst sound that my ears have ever been fucking blessed with.

 

[Nue]

Oh god, okay so basically, I don't know why my parents didn't take me for an exorcism when I was a kid. I still sleeptalk and sleepwalk a LOT, but not as much as I did when I was younger. Highlights:

- I shared a room with my sister. One night, I sat bolt upright in bed, said in hushed tones, "he's here."
and then DROPPED back to sleep. Like apparently I didn't slowly lie back down, I just fell back and was sleeping. What.

- When I was I think maybe 7? A frequent thing I'd do in my sleep was, apparently, get up, and run up and down the stairs. Repeatedly. Can you imagine waking up to that??

- I was staying at my cousins house in Ireland and I woke up in a place I didn't recognise. I was still really dazed and half asleep and I finally realised I was in a bathroom. So I was like, okay, I'll just walk over the bath and into my room.
Thing is there was a.. wall there? And half asleep me was getting really irritated trying to climb over it and not knowing why I couldn't get past it? And then something suddenly clicked and I was like "wtf am I doing that's a WALL"

- This still happens, but there are so many times where I wake up and think someone is in my room, and I finally get out of my half asleep mist and realize I'm alone. Normally it's humorous (at one point I thought spiderman, specifically, was in my room. This was not a childhood story btw, it literally happened this year) but I scared the shiiiit out of my boyfriend by asking him why the 'tall man was in here'.

 

[Shibe]

I’ve done some weird stuff in my sleep, but nothing too crazy.

I used to wear a night guard (those weird little things for your teeth that keeps you from grinding them together), because I have some gnarly jaw problems. Anyways, after I put this thing in and went to sleep I would wake up and magically it wouldn’t be in my mouth. And take in mind this thing is really tight on your teeth. So here I am, in a panic, thinking I had swallowed this huge night guard, about to put on my clothes to run to the doctor.

Only to find my night guard right by my bedroom door. I had pulled this thing out of my mouth, fully asleep, and yeeted it across the room.

 

[peritwinkle]

On NYE this year I was severely sleep deprived, I had been traveling and I had not slept in probably well over 24 hours. My friends and I were staying in a motel, and my room was on the second floor, and had a single step right by the door.

Apparenty around 4AM I went down the stairs and into one of my friends’ room, propped myself in front of his wardrobe and started gesticulating really weirdly and telling him to go inside. His roommate thankfully came in and patiently escorted me back to my room.

I was not told of this incident until the following evening and needless to say not only was I spooked but also amazed I had not fallen.
