im unwell and very emotional today so probably more fired up than I would usually be. Forgive me I’m knackered.
I’ve always been a sleepwalker as a child, and as an adult it seems to go through phases of being normal (one or two times a week of pretty basic things like just going to the bathroom and not remembering but forgetting to turn off the light or shut the door - sorry hub ) to fairly extreme (what we’re going through now.)
this last few weeks I’m walking about 5/6 nights a week and doing weird things. A example - Last night I went to my eldest child’s room, didn’t say anything, took off my leggings (pants were on) and walked out to another room. Oldest child remembers it vaguely but just thought I was checking if they were asleep. DH reports hearing a big crash in the middle of the night.
No recollection of any of this but today I’ve woken up with some scratches on my hand and found a broken glass in the bin. No recollection of breaking it or cleaning it up. (I cleaned it up badly which is also a concern).
in the past I’ve done things like cooking, chopping up vegetables, going outside, having full conversations with people I don’t remember. It’s embarrassing.
it has been linked to hypoglycemia before (in diabetic) but my bloods are okay recently. I’ve told my GP about it during diabetic check ups and I feel they think it’s a bit quirky and funny. I have a fairly high stress job (think social work / police / working with children with issues) which is probably contributing.
Anyone shed some insight or experiences? How can I stop this? Do I go back to GP or try something else? Has anyone had medication which helped?
I’m sitting here at nearly 1 a bit scared about going to sleep because of what happened last night.
