Sleepwalking - there's nothing I can do about this is there?

[LanguidLobster]

First time it happened (early hours) I sleptwalked to the newsagents and managed to conduct a transaction. I was absolutely horrified by this and spoke to them and they do spot checks on me now to make sure I'm awake.

Very new relationship, I sleptwalked to his first thing this morning and curled up in a ball at the foot of his bed and started snoring. He said I was like a snoring marble cat but he wanted to move his feet so started trying to shift me and I was very cross and indignant and told him to get out as he was too fidgety. He said no. I slowly realised I wasn't at home. I thought I was at home. I can't believe I tried to order him out of his own house.

He says he can never lock his front door again otherwise I might sleepwalk elsewhere.

There's nothing I can do about this, is there?

I'd speak to the dr, I was on meds at one point for sleep walking. They put you on something similar to an epilepsy drug to relax your body and mind completely to stop you from doing it. They will probably also conduct a sleep assessment so they'll have you stay over and assess your quality of sleep. I tend to sleep walk on and around a full moon and always have done. It's the oddest thing.

Have you been particularly stressed recently? Sleep walking can also be due to other neurological issues such as stress and anxiety working in over drive.

You absolutely need to see your GP and probably get referred to a sleep specialist. I'm wondering if you have REM sleep behavior disorder based on your description of events. That kind of a sleep walking is a true safety concern, so they will likely medicate you to stop you from sleepwalking. It's often made worse by stress, being overtired, and drinking alcohol too close to bedtime so avoid those in the meantime.

Did you manage to squeeze out of that sparkly blue number or were you still wearing it when you curled up at the foot of his bed? 🙄

What an exciting and dramatic life you lead, LL. Glad mine is far more mundane!

You've gone silent on us! Any more exciting things happen over the weekend?

So he was in bed asleep but hadn't locked his front door, and now he's never going to lock his front door again (even though he hadn't locked it anyway), so that you can continue to let yourself in when you sleepwalk there?

Good job you didn't trip over the milking stool on the way there.

I bet you jumped in through the kitchen window didn’t you languid, like a real cat and ‘he’ was just to kind and polite to do anything about it. Good thing he is going to leave his front door open all the time now in case you go for a wander again. My my, the curious life of Ms Lobster strikes again!
