Strange occurrence - would value opinions!

[Pourtea]

This is going to sound absolutely ridiculous but it's true, I promise!

This morning when I got up there was a rich tea biscuit in my bed! (I'm cringing just writing this). How the bloody buggery did it get there - it 100% wasn't there when I went to sleep!

So I currently do have rich tea in the kitchen, in a biscuit tin, in a cupboard. I also currently have 3 of my adult dc here. I also have a dog.

However, I also always lock my bedroom door - always have done - so the boys couldn't have got in even if they had suddenly decided it would be hilarious to put a biscuit in my bed. And also, even if the dog could somehow mysteriously find her way into my room (she couldn't - it's locked and she's not too bright), she's only little and couldn't reach the biscuit tin.

The only possible explanation I can think of is that I got up, unlocked my door, got myself to the kitchen, helped myself to some rich tea (which I don't particularly like), got myself back to my room, locked my door, lovingly tucked the biscuit in next to me - and all in my sleep!

Is that even possible? I'm not aware I've ever sleepwalked before but who knows? Maybe I've been up to all sorts without even realising. I suppose eating biscuits in my sleep would account for the failure of my many diets. There's no other explanation I can think of but I'm open to all suggestions!

Had you recently changed your sheets? could a biscuit have been dropped on an airer and got stuck inside? I keep half waking up and hallucinating that I can see a massive spider on the bed, then start shouting and wake DP up, it's driving him mad! There are definitely no tarantulas in our bedroom so anything is possible!

DD has gotten up to all sorts of wild shit sleep walking.
Midnight snacks, sleep texting, calling and sending goobledygook voice notes and generally wandering around.
She never remembers any of it.

In my mid to late 20's, I used to sleep eat a lot. I would make sandwiches, full on sandwiches, with chopped salad and cheese etc, I would make toast (woke up one morning with a slice of toast covered in jam stuck to my face), I'd eat leftovers, put meals in the microwave, chocolate, crisps, whatever was in the flat. One morning woke up with a chocolate digestive or hobnob (long time ago and can't remember which type it was) stuck to my cheek. The only thing that was constant was that I would bring the food back to bed with me and eat it- or fall asleep with it next to me 😁I never had any recollection of making or eating the food. Now at 55, I occasionally get up in the night and eat a small snack but I'm awake and making rational decisions. Sleep eating is definitely a thing!

I'm thinking this is a fire hazard!

Embarrassingly, I woke up this morning to find some peanuts in my bed - sadly I hadn't eaten peanuts or changed the sheets for at least a week - I am sure I will be sent to Mumsnet jail for that alone - I have a vague memory of craving some peanuts last week, but have no memory of actually going to get any from the cupboard - I am assuming that the washing machine hadn't removed all the previously scoffed invisible peanuts while on a 'hot wash' the week before, and therefore blame the evil washing machine.....(not sure why I didn't find them yesterday though...)....Nanny Cam (on me) springs to mind...x

Im amazed at what people can get up to in their sleep - I particularly like the idea of cooking a whole curry. I had no idea that sleep eating was a thing but it seems like I'm in good company :).

I didn't notice any morning-after rich tea residue in my mouth or on my face, and I like to think I would have. Maybe I was so preoccupied with wondering where it had appeared from that I didn't notice - or maybe I just brought it back to bed with me and tucked it in ...

It’s not the only possible explanation OP, you might have a ghost getting into bed with you 👻

I would totally believe this if was Hob Nobs, but Rich Tea??? lol xxxx
May I have the recipe of cooking a curry while asleep please? 😀
Or check loft for squirrels??? Them buggers do all sorts.....🤔

This is very true. 🤣

The only explanation is you sleep walking or experiencing somd kind of. Keep related amnesia?

Its possible your house was built on the site of an old biscuit factory and a biscuit ghost is trying to tell you something.

I have this. Parasomnia, sleep related eating disorder. I underwent sleep studies and it was my legs moving waking a certain side of my brain up.

I would have no recall of making or getting food. I often wake with the food in bed with me, or half consumed and half on my face/pillows.

It got the a scary stage where I was munching on vitamin D tablets one night and a few times I woke choking.

I am medicated with Rigotine patches now however I feel their affect is wearing off.

Pain the the bum eating good all day and then walking up to see 45 chocolate bar wrappers beside the bed. 😒

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your body gets up to fix it?! That’s so bloody creepy! Think I would prefer it if it was a ghost…

Stick a motion control camera in your bedroom. Small, inexpensive and you can choose the save video to your smart phone @Pourtea

My late mother used to regularly wake up to find sandwiches in the kitchen. Not eaten, just cut into triangles and left. She had no recollection of these night time activities, but a history of sleepwalking, even having conversations with people even since her teens.

I don’t have the answer to this but it made me laugh out loud! Hahaha it would confuse me too! Surely if you took the time to get up and get it- you would have ate it. Ha ha made my day

I have a mimi dachshund too. Knowing what needy dogs they are, and how they love snuggling up to their humans, I'm impressed you don't have him cuddled up on your bed at night.

I'm more weirded out about the locking of the bedroom door. Do you lock the room when you're not in it too? If not, could one of your boys supnuck it in there during the day as a laugh? I wouldn't blame the dog for putting it there because I don't know any dog who would deposit a biscuit and not eat the bloody thing.

Do you never worry what could happen in the event of eg a fire? People would have trouble being able to get to you to rescue you if your door is locked.

Hilarious 😂

'Mince on the quilt' has finished me... 🤣

To drag this back to the prosaic, if ever I lose something, I have learned to first check my dressing gown pockets because, as I float about the house in a morning dwam, I tend to put things there 'to deal with later' like a hamster stuffing its pouches...

So what you have there may just be a case of 'pocket biscuit'.

I often find biscuits in my bed, but I’m fond of a little funky cigarette or two 😂 and before anyone moans at me. It’s prescribed 👍

Most likely explanation is that it was there the night before and you didn’t notice. You can’t be ‘100% sure’ it wasn’t.

😂😂😂

I did recently get woken up by something falling onto my bedroom floor during the night.I switched the light on and found a key which could only have fallen off the bed. I hadn’t put a key on top of the bed clothes.The key wasn’t a key I recognised or indeed for any of the locks in my house.

To @TheGentleButFirmMadonna and @PinkPauline , I say this: 😱😱
