Strange occurrence - would value opinions!

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!

No idea about the biscuit but the idea of sleeping in a locked room is freaking me out! 😬

I started doing it when I started to live alone and now I do it automatically.

What if there was a fire - no one could rescue you.
