There is a funy clip of a german youtuber that sleepwalked. He did a 2 week stream where he only played World of Warcraft. After 1 week at 10 am he got up sat down on the pc instantly (He normaly goes to bathroom first) and said stuff that didnt make sense but he said 1 sentence "Guys how to leave the arena" and the whole chat lost it XD
I used to sleepwalk as a kid but because I would talk in my sleep (or have convos couldn't imagine what that looked like) my mom thought I was just lying when I would be confused when I woke up somewhere other than my bed in the house😩
When I was a kid, if I was the one to lock the front door before bed, then I'd sleep walk to it, unlock it, and walk out of it. I did this once at a hotel on a family vacation, and I woke up standing infront of the hotels pool. That was probably the most dangerous situation I've ever put myself in while sleep walking.
My ex-girlfriend had pretty consistent sleep walking if she did not take her sleeping pills. She got up, went to the living room, and curled up like a cat on the table next to her cat. The cat was very confused, he usually hung out on the table to look out the front window. I carried her back to the bed, but it took a lot to convince her of what she did.
I've suffered both sleepwalking & night terrors my whole life. It went away for a while during my 20's, but resumed in my 30's. Just the other day I woke my family & neighbors up at 2am screaming at the top of lungs out of my bedroom window that there is a thief in our yard. I also have a tendency to rearrange furniture while sleepwalking.
Last night I jumped and ran out of my bed and then apparently jumped on my wife. I just woke up to her screaming and had no idea why I was there. In my dream though I saw something getting ready to fall on her and I jumped on her to shield her. I woke up terrified and my heart racing.
3:17, the background music here is beautiful and genius. It's a very discordant, disharmonious chord when talking about sleep terrors, and then resolves to a more harmonic chord when talking about the resolution of sleep terrors. Brilliant!
i've sleepwalked multiple times in my life, especially as a kid. my parents told me that one night a couple hours after going to bed i came out of my room and was very determined to go to the bathroom on the other floor: i said that there was a huge party there that had started without me!
My sister had a story very similar to this!! She was kind of sleep walking, but she was sick on that day with a high fever and she probably had a fever dream. She said she was awake, but kept saying that little men were throwing a party and she has to help, otherwise a war would break out. She was conscious of it though, but didn’t really question it or stopped talking.
Sleepwalking was huge for me and my older brother, it was trauma related. Mine has stopped now I’m in a happy stable relationship and my brothers, who was always worse than me, has calmed down a lot. One time when we were kids we’d been kidnapped and the trauma really amped up my brothers sleepwalking, when we were home I remember him waking me up shouting that we had to get out because they were coming for us and we’re walking down the street. He pushed me to my bedroom door then quickly spun me around and pushed me to the window saying it was too late they were coming up the stairs, I’m so glad my window was locked because he was actively trying to open it to push me out and jump out after me.
A few months ago, my family was in a hotel. One night, my cousin started sleepwalking and he started walking around his room while everyone just looked at him weird 😂
Sleep talking is apparently more common among people wit sleep issues, on that note…. My partner and I apparently had a full conversation in our sleep which neither of us remember. They apparently spouted random facts and I muttered back with my teeth clenched, they’d ask if I was ok and I’d say “mhm” then they’d give another random fact and I’d respond again with my teeth clenched and they’d ask if i was ok and repeat until we woke up.
@@landonitron had a feeling the question would pop up! (Light hearted). Yes. We were visiting family and my sister over heard us and thought this was a legit conversation at first until we woke up. 😊
I once sleepwalked out of our house and reached as far as 3 streets away. I was only stopped when our neighbor asked me where I was going then later realized that I was sleepwalking. Didn't remember anything how I got there tho...
As a kid I would sleepwalk a lot. Most of the times, I would just walk around the house and turn the lights on everywhere, including other people’s rooms (while they were sleeping). Sometimes, I would go back to sleep on the sofa or in someone else’s bed. Waking up somewhere different than where you went to sleep is a weird feeling. One time though, I fell out of bed (I slept in a bunk bed, on top) and instantly woke up. That was so confusing, I couldn’t process how that happened.
I once woke on my bare feet in the middle of a forest, about 2 kilometers away from my campervan I must have gotten up, opened the door and marched all the way over sharp rocks and branches in the cold, alongside a loud festival concert and never woke up
I locked myself in the bathroom for 6 hours, managed to get back to bed and woke up around 8pm when the Detroit lions beat the chargers last year. It’s a scary feeling to lose a day. I’ve had worse experiences. ( waking up in a hospital. Etc ). Crazy!
Never sleep-walked but there was this one time when I was little, we were visiting my grandparents at their house. My grandma would sleep with me at night usually, but one night she had woken up for some reason, so she heard me say something in my sleep. It was this: "Hey, that's Millie Johnson's!" That night, I had had a short dream where I was in school, in the middle of the day and in the hallways getting something out of my locker. The hallways are empty except for me until one boy runs up to a locker and takes something out of it. The locker was Millie Johnson's, and he stole something of hers. In the dream, as he is running away, I exclaim, "Hey, that's Millie Johnson's!" I do remember saying that and, while I was not aware that I was in a dream and not real life, (as in most dreams) saying that still felt more 'real' than whatever else we say in dreams, because I actually said it out loud. That morning I asked my grandma if I said anything in my sleep, and she said, "yeah, you said something about Millie Johnson?" The cool part was that Millie Johnson was a real person. She actually went to my school, was in my grade, and was on my soccer team, so even though we weren't exactly friends we did interact with each other and were acquaintances. I never told her about the dream, though. (I changed the name for her privacy, so Millie Johnson isn't her real name)
One time I went to bed and woke up being pinned to the ground with 8 SWAT uniform officers around me. I remember screaming 'WTF?!' With my heart nearly exploding out of my chest. I noticed a few of their faces looked scared/confused. Apparently while I was out I tried to rob a pawn shop and grabbed a random kid to use as a shield. It was very scary. Another time I was finger painting on the highway at 3am. I was woken up by a truck driver having dragged me off
For most people they do everyday tasks while sleepwalking, so either robbing a pawn shop is an everyday task or your subconscious was really in the need of money right then
I was a sleepwalker well into my thirties. During childhood, my siblings used to make fun of my pushing the wall as I sleepwalked. That was funny until I became a mother. One night I woke up to my 1-year-old cry. I'd laid her on the bed which didn't actually exist. In fact, I'd thrown her to the floor! That night was horrible! I feared I might hurt her badly. Some time later, that disappeared. I don't know how or why, but I'm thankful it did.
I experience sleep talking. Unconsciously I start mumbling words. The last time I did it was when I was a kid. My mum said I was crying while mumbling words in my sleep talk
The one time I remember sleepwalking was in a hotel room. I had apparently walked over to my mom’s bed, ripped the blanket off of her, dropped it on the floor, then went back to bed. I have no recollection of ever getting out of bed but I do remember dropping the blanket then getting back into bed.
When i was 16, i got up, wake up my sister, told her to come with my to the guess room (was empty) open the closet, a told her to get inside, when for my wallet gave her 2 euros, opened the blinds and the window and went back to my bed to sleep. My sister was so confused....
I am almost 30. I have ran troughout my room, full sprint, avoiding obstacles. I can say full sentences that make sense in my sleep. I have opened my window and thrown the blanket out of the window. I have one time tried to forcefully open the mouth of my girlfriend (she almost left me because of that), I have even started singing in my sleep, LOUDLY. I have an app with my voice recordings.. I think I talk in my sleep almost every night. I could get a doctor to check me out but it cost too much money.
@@thuthaonguyen8424 Depending on the sleep disorder that can cause more problems. I have two sleep disorders. One would help with medication one would trigger the other disorders episodes. I do agree that a sleep specialist could definitely help though.
My cousin used to talk gibberish in her sleep all the time, as a kid. One time she was sleeping on the top bunk of a bunkbed and fell to the floor. She continued sleeping. She obviously woke up aching. I was at first concerned, as I was sleeping on the bottom bunk. But when I saw she just continued sleeping it made me laugh.
I once tried to choke my cactus because I was having vivid hallucinations thinking the cactus is a snake. Woke up the next morning, my hand was pierced with spikes.
for some weird coincidence, i would always sleep walk when i really missed someone, like when my dad was working away or something. that only happened when i was a kid, i haven't sleep walked in years
I suffered from sleep terrors and sleepwalking from a young age. In adulthood they continued and worsened after work that eventually earned me a PTSD diagnosis. If you are having regular sleep terrors, ask your doctor about Prazosin. It's a blood pressure medication with very few side effects that was found to help veterans with PTSD. My doctor recommended it when I mentioned my problem and it changed my life. I'm a couple of years in to taking it and the sleep terrors have stopped. I still murmur in my sleep occasionally but I went from multiple terrifying episodes a week to zero. I hope that research will continue so that the medication sees more widespread use for this and more people can be helped.
One time my mom watched me walk downstairs, open the fridge, crack a coke, chug half, and go blissfully back to bed. I have absolutely ZERO recollection. She however, had the coke can ready for me to finish in the morning.
My grandma did this once. She woke up and made oatmeal (then she adds eggs, salt and spring onion) when she placed it on the table, it was slightly burnt.
I still sleepwalk and i didn't knew how to pass obstacules and just 2 weeks ago i opened a door. I guess i should start to lock windows and doors now...
I sleepwalked up and down the stairs in my house, took my shirt off in my room upstairs and went back downstairs when my mom woke me up. I spent a good thirty minutes trying to find where i threw my shirt
I don't know when I started sleep walking... I just over the year over heard conversations between my parents and sister when she was upset that I kept waking her up/ keeping her up. My parents explained that I wasn't awake and told her to tell me to just go back to bed. Apparently this still works to this day. I do decently complex things but to my knowledge have never left the home and mostly seem to just pace up and down stairs, rooms, halls etc. I am happy to hear that I put on clothing or even change clothing before I leave my room. Honestly except for waking up tired or achy from too much movement this part of my bad sleep doesn't bother me. I'm more bothered by my ability to strike out during night terrors/ reliving of bad past experiences (I didn't strike out then but in my dreams apparently I'm a bada$$) although my partners over the years have consistently been most disturbed by the times they wake up to me curled in a corner quietly whispering "no please no". Bad childhoods are the gift that keeps on giving even when you're not actively thinking about it.
I'm almost 40 and I still sleepwalk....my husband even caught me smoking while sleepwalking which is honestly scary. It's like every time my mind goes to the astral skincrawlers enter my body and animate it while I sleep....I'm sure this is a better explanation of what actually happens but it feels like skinwalkers lmao
It makes sense that if you wake up in slow wave sleep, then go back to sleep, you are more likely to have lucid dreams. This is one technique I've come across to wake yourself up at 3am, then fall back asleep.
When I'm under alot of stress I have noticed quite a few times I'm watching or doing something & the next minute it's 4 hours later & I'm sleeping in my bed. On those occasions talking to people in the house they never noticed any differents of me. It doesn't happen much just when I extra stressed & tired.🛌
i did sleep walking and it was always the flight or fight type. So it would feel like I was gonna die at any moment and I was so scared. Most of the time i didn't remember but sometimes I would remember it. I was young and it naturally stopped after I was 11 years old. I never knew what it was. But thanks to this video I now know what happened to me.
On several occasions when I was a kid I managed to sleepwalk myself out my front door, locking it behind me, walking across the road to the kids across the road I used to play with and ask them to play lol the neighbours would call my parents to come get me they couldn't believe it everything they were shocked, after the second time they put a second lock on the door 🤣🤣 these days I tend to sleepwalk to the kitchen and eat whilst asleep waking up with rubbish everywhere 🥺😳
Oh man did I ever sleepwalk! I think one of the most extreme sleepwalking episode was when I was 11. I had gone to bed early and everyone else was awake. They side that I ran up and down the stairs, fught the water from the tap, and pointed at the calender saying "I need my stuff". My sister even recorded a little of it. In the end they woke me by putting me in the bath! And it resulted in them giving me a key word that they'd make me say to make sure I awake. This is not the only extreme sleepwalking incident but I think this is getting to long :)
I once sleepwalked in just my boxers and ended up sleeping on the kitchen floor. When my mum noticed me on her way to get water and woke me up, I literally freaked out
I never experienced sleepwalking but I’ve had many occasions where I would sleep talk to my girlfriend after going to sleep when really tired I would say random sentences with no context and start conversations but I wouldn’t have any memory of it. I felt so creeped out after watching myself talk in the videos my girlfriend recorded and I still don’t understand how could I have no consciousness and still communicate and listen?
Had a patient very confused and quite cut up. Turns out she had climbed through a barbwire fence and walked several kilometres through muddy paddocks before following a road where a good Samaritan called it in.
i dont know how you did it ted-ed but i was thinking this exact thing earlier! i had a couple sleep walking episodes when i was a kid waking up curled up on my carpet freaked my mum out!! i also slept talked ALOT sometimes having whole conversations with my siblings cus they also slept talk. All while asleep
Reminds me about that one time, when I had to go out in an early morning and my fiance wanted to go out with me. Let's assume his name is Carl. He lives in the apartment next to my building, but we were together that night. He woke me up earlier than needed, put his clothes and went to sleep again. I did my morning routine and went to wake him up. Carl woke up... Emotionless. His eyes were open, but didn't seem to move naturally. He did his morning routine and we went to dress up further, it was a cold morning. And... Carl only put his lighter clothes. I tried to ask some basic questions, but he did not respond to any of that. He tend to not answer when he's grumpy so I assume he's and wants to go sleep again, but he promised to go out of the house with me. I also assumed he would go continue sleeping in his home, so we went anyway. We're on the cold streets in buildings' shadows. I tried to cheer Carl up, but it didn't work. He wasn't paying attention to anything and continue walking. I started to worry and tried to snap his attention. We went into the sun. He flinched and screamed in response to the light. He finally looked at me. He was extremely confused and scared why we're outside. Carl. Was. Sleepwalking. The entire. Time. We, both in shock, run back home to warm him up. Carl went back to sleep further in the bed. The funniest thing is that I was sleepwalking THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, where I "woke up" and started loudly and demonically mumbling "enchanting spells" in middle of the night. Carl wanted to test me if I'm asleep and asked "what's 47x53?". And, without a thought, I told "2491", which was the CORRECT ANSWER and I'm always awful at calculating big numbers in mind. He woke me up by shining the phone's flashlight on me
I was told that my aunt would play basketball while sleep walking when she way younger. So if my mom heard someone bouncing a basketball at 4 am then she new her sister was sleepwalking
once when i was a kid, I apparently sleepwalked to my parent bedroom claiming and i said what i was unable to sleep. so my dad moved over to my bed and there was not enough for all three of us. i woke up the next morning and freaked out. I apparently looked wide awake and nothing I said was gibberish.
I once was sleep walking and my cousin saw me and gazed at me, and I said to him "don't worry I'm not sleep walking". Of course I dont remember any of this 🤣
0:48 Oh my days...I WISH the prefrontal cortex actually had control. Try wrestling with the amygdala, cerebellum or the hypothalamus when things go awry...never mind the rest of the nervous system.
Wife used to do this quite often. Mostly consisted of us getting up in the night, literally skipping to the light switch, turning it on and then start hysterically screaming.
I literally walked downstairs while sleepwalking, I didn’t remember anything, my mom told me that she found me sleeping in another room downstairs, I’m still confused.
Mines driving me nuts im now altering my phone setting turning on heaters fire hazard sucks as im 5 stone 11 and im turning on and off lights. Very annoying. Im definitely hiding the car keys.
When I was 3 or 4 years old, I used to often fall asleep in my bed, but wake up only to find myself spinning on the spot next to my bed lol. This isn’t something I was told, it’s something I very clearly remember.
When I was a teenager my dads partner came into my bedroom one night and started scratching at the wall. When I got up and asked her what she was doing, she said, “Shh, I’m doing your fathers taxes.” She then went to the toilet (not in my room, in the bathroom, not my room). The next morning I asked her about it and she had no recollection.
I used to climb down from my bunkbed's top bunk, take my mom's phone and play snake. Like actually play it!? I could also hold up complicated conversations so sometimes my parents weren't convinced that I was awake even when I was actually awake. Waking me up for school was a nightmare (pun intended) since I could answer all their questions and comments while I was asleep.
I used to have really bad night terrors all through my childhood up until college. But now it has reduced to a point of sleepwalking where I am awake eyes wide open and still seeing the dream environment around me. I get confused and sometimes move a bit across the room and soon the dream environment fades away like an illusion. I also have a dream habit of putting stuff away so later I have to find out where it is. I am not sure if anybody else has experienced this. Pretty annoying.
Years ago, while in the Army, I was stationed with a company of returned Vietnam infantry vets, one of whom was an American Indian. I was told he would sleep walk at times. I was billeted in a different barracks building than his and slept in a top bunk on the 2nd floor. One night while sleeping I felt a presence and opened my eyes. There, staring at me about 18 inches away was this man. Neither of us moved a muscle for a minute or so and just stared at each other. Then he turned around, walked down the stairs and back into the night. Kind of freaked me out.
I used to do all sorts of things as a child while sleeping. I would walk, talk, scream, eat, and go to the washroom. I would have night terrors, and it freaked my parents out the first few times it happened. I don't sleep walk much anymore, rarely ever, but occasionally, I'll wake up in the morning to my closest door open, my bedroom door closed and locked, or my toilet unflushed.
i used to sleepwalk and sleep talk! i don’t sleepwalk anymore but i definitely talk in my sleep apparently i have a lot of totally normal sounding conversations with people while i’m sleeping, and i just won’t remember it at all (or occasionally i say some nonsense that doesn’t make sense)
Great video. I sleepwalked multiple times as a kid, but I would often talk, cry or scream. Fortunately that scream thing only happened like one or two times, but still, imagine waking up in the middle of the night to your child screaming only to see her completely asleep when you check on her 😂
As a teenager now at 1am laying in bed thinking about the past. Somehow stumbled across this video and I remembered my first time sleep walking. It’s 2020 and I am 9 years old, stayed up till 2am watching tv shows. Randomly woke up on the couch, I go over to the microwave to check the time and it’s 4am. So then I walk into my parents room and just, go in their shower and peed in there. Fell asleep in there with running water in my clothes. So I woke up with wet clothes, pissed off parents, and confusion.
As a kid, I would walk and sit down next to my dad late at night. He would try to talk to me but my responses would not cognitive. He would walk me to my bed and tuck me in. I once woke up in my laundry room with the outside door wide open. I woke up in a bathtub and even woke up hugging a glue bottle. Now that I’m in my early twenties, I haven’t had any recent night time where a-bouts (not that I know of).
I’ve sleep walked since I was old enough to remember. I’m 64 and do it more as I’ve gotten older. I don’t always remember but sometimes I do. One time I made quesadillas. Didn’t eat them. Found the evidence in the morning. When I was a little kid my mother found me peeing in the hall closet. Just two weeks ago I got up and went to work at 11 pm. No big deal except I was only supposed to be there at 4 am. I remember waking up confused why the time clock at work wasn’t working. Yeah it’s very bizarre behavior but It’s what I got. It ain’t that big a deal. Mahalo.
Okay, so my only sleepwalking episode ever was about three years ago: I was out partying with my university friends and got really drunk, then crashed at one of my friends places. She lived in an apartment and somehow I managed to sleepwalk out of it and found myself sitting in the hallway, locked out. Even before I woke up entirely I tryed to text my friends to let me in again but it was mostly gibberish. After I woke up I hesitated at first but eventually just rang the bell and her roommate let me in. We all laughed pretty hard the next day when my friends found the text and I told them what had happened.
Lately, if I have a really stressful day at work, I would dream of a task that I would consider stressful and actively enact the task like moving things around or handing out important documents, but I would wake up in my bed sitting upright super confused. I think I just need therapy 😅
That reminded me of my college roommate. He usually sleep-walk, speaks in at least 3 different languages and sometimes calls out people by name. I was terrified when I witnessed this for the first time, I could not sleep that night. But after that I just woke him up.

Thought the fridge was a toilet while sleep walking as a kid. Thankfully my granny woke me up before I did the deed
I locked myself in the bathroom for 6 hours, managed to get back to bed and woke up around 8pm when the Detroit lions beat the chargers last year. It’s a scary feeling to lose a day. I’ve had worse experiences. ( waking up in a hospital. Etc ). Crazy!
Never sleep-walked but there was this one time when I was little, we were visiting my grandparents at their house. My grandma would sleep with me at night usually, but one night she had woken up for some reason, so she heard me say something in my sleep. It was this:
"Hey, that's Millie Johnson's!"
That night, I had had a short dream where I was in school, in the middle of the day and in the hallways getting something out of my locker. The hallways are empty except for me until one boy runs up to a locker and takes something out of it. The locker was Millie Johnson's, and he stole something of hers. In the dream, as he is running away, I exclaim, "Hey, that's Millie Johnson's!" I do remember saying that and, while I was not aware that I was in a dream and not real life, (as in most dreams) saying that still felt more 'real' than whatever else we say in dreams, because I actually said it out loud. That morning I asked my grandma if I said anything in my sleep, and she said, "yeah, you said something about Millie Johnson?"
The cool part was that Millie Johnson was a real person. She actually went to my school, was in my grade, and was on my soccer team, so even though we weren't exactly friends we did interact with each other and were acquaintances. I never told her about the dream, though. (I changed the name for her privacy, so Millie Johnson isn't her real name)
P
My sister has done something similar. She would dream of the ocean, and her roommate would hear her mumbling about blue sailboats
One time I went to bed and woke up being pinned to the ground with 8 SWAT uniform officers around me. I remember screaming 'WTF?!' With my heart nearly exploding out of my chest. I noticed a few of their faces looked scared/confused. Apparently while I was out I tried to rob a pawn shop and grabbed a random kid to use as a shield. It was very scary.
Another time I was finger painting on the highway at 3am. I was woken up by a truck driver having dragged me off
UHHHHH. OKAY. COOL.
@@tetrisnstuff8881 ?
For most people they do everyday tasks while sleepwalking, so either robbing a pawn shop is an everyday task or your subconscious was really in the need of money right then
I was a sleepwalker well into my thirties. During childhood, my siblings used to make fun of my pushing the wall as I sleepwalked. That was funny until I became a mother. One night I woke up to my 1-year-old cry. I'd laid her on the bed which didn't actually exist. In fact, I'd thrown her to the floor!
That night was horrible! I feared I might hurt her badly.
Some time later, that disappeared. I don't know how or why, but I'm thankful it did.
I experience sleep talking. Unconsciously I start mumbling words. The last time I did it was when I was a kid. My mum said I was crying while mumbling words in my sleep talk
The one time I remember sleepwalking was in a hotel room. I had apparently walked over to my mom’s bed, ripped the blanket off of her, dropped it on the floor, then went back to bed. I have no recollection of ever getting out of bed but I do remember dropping the blanket then getting back into bed.
When i was 16, i got up, wake up my sister, told her to come with my to the guess room (was empty) open the closet, a told her to get inside, when for my wallet gave her 2 euros, opened the blinds and the window and went back to my bed to sleep. My sister was so confused....
My roomate used to sleep walk and talk but he would talk and say things that weren’t gibberish
Did he revealed anything??
secrets!!!! cool
I am almost 30. I have ran troughout my room, full sprint, avoiding obstacles. I can say full sentences that make sense in my sleep. I have opened my window and thrown the blanket out of the window. I have one time tried to forcefully open the mouth of my girlfriend (she almost left me because of that), I have even started singing in my sleep, LOUDLY. I have an app with my voice recordings.. I think I talk in my sleep almost every night. I could get a doctor to check me out but it cost too much money.
Please try meditation. It costs nothing
@@thuthaonguyen8424 Depending on the sleep disorder that can cause more problems. I have two sleep disorders. One would help with medication one would trigger the other disorders episodes. I do agree that a sleep specialist could definitely help though.
Health is first
just buy money
I love u Ted Ed u taught me so much thank you!!!
My cousin used to talk gibberish in her sleep all the time, as a kid. One time she was sleeping on the top bunk of a bunkbed and fell to the floor. She continued sleeping. She obviously woke up aching. I was at first concerned, as I was sleeping on the bottom bunk. But when I saw she just continued sleeping it made me laugh.
This animation style 🖤
4:56 how my mom used to wake me up
I once tried to choke my cactus because I was having vivid hallucinations thinking the cactus is a snake. Woke up the next morning, my hand was pierced with spikes.
How can you even be aware of any obstacle when your eyes are closed ?
Bamboozles me everytime .
for some weird coincidence, i would always sleep walk when i really missed someone, like when my dad was working away or something. that only happened when i was a kid, i haven't sleep walked in years
I had a night terror. It was very stressful. sometimes I am conscious, and other times I hear about it in the morning.
I suffered from sleep terrors and sleepwalking from a young age. In adulthood they continued and worsened after work that eventually earned me a PTSD diagnosis.
If you are having regular sleep terrors, ask your doctor about Prazosin. It's a blood pressure medication with very few side effects that was found to help veterans with PTSD. My doctor recommended it when I mentioned my problem and it changed my life. I'm a couple of years in to taking it and the sleep terrors have stopped. I still murmur in my sleep occasionally but I went from multiple terrifying episodes a week to zero.
I hope that research will continue so that the medication sees more widespread use for this and more people can be helped.
One time my mom watched me walk downstairs, open the fridge, crack a coke, chug half, and go blissfully back to bed. I have absolutely ZERO recollection. She however, had the coke can ready for me to finish in the morning.
My grandma did this once. She woke up and made oatmeal (then she adds eggs, salt and spring onion) when she placed it on the table, it was slightly burnt.
I should be studying rigt now.
Study
Go to your bed kid, u are sleep walking.

I remember screaming about a bubble named jake repeatedly in my sleep. Asking him to not pop yet and to not float away. I have no clue why.
I still sleepwalk and i didn't knew how to pass obstacules and just 2 weeks ago i opened a door. I guess i should start to lock windows and doors now...
I’ve been told I’d walk downstairs and try to go outside. Fortunately the door was locked and I guess I didn’t try the lock and just went back to bed
I sleepwalked up and down the stairs in my house, took my shirt off in my room upstairs and went back downstairs when my mom woke me up. I spent a good thirty minutes trying to find where i threw my shirt
I don't know when I started sleep walking... I just over the year over heard conversations between my parents and sister when she was upset that I kept waking her up/ keeping her up. My parents explained that I wasn't awake and told her to tell me to just go back to bed. Apparently this still works to this day. I do decently complex things but to my knowledge have never left the home and mostly seem to just pace up and down stairs, rooms, halls etc. I am happy to hear that I put on clothing or even change clothing before I leave my room. Honestly except for waking up tired or achy from too much movement this part of my bad sleep doesn't bother me. I'm more bothered by my ability to strike out during night terrors/ reliving of bad past experiences (I didn't strike out then but in my dreams apparently I'm a bada$$) although my partners over the years have consistently been most disturbed by the times they wake up to me curled in a corner quietly whispering "no please no". Bad childhoods are the gift that keeps on giving even when you're not actively thinking about it.
please don’t increase my rent
did you mutter that too
I'm almost 40 and I still sleepwalk....my husband even caught me smoking while sleepwalking which is honestly scary. It's like every time my mind goes to the astral skincrawlers enter my body and animate it while I sleep....I'm sure this is a better explanation of what actually happens but it feels like skinwalkers lmao
I sleep walked and talked before as a kid. This sort of thing has always interested me.
Is there a Ted Ed on sleep paralysis? That happened to me once and I literally thought I had died. Scary stuff.
was just thinking thinking of this! hopefully they consider this topic. it's sooo intriguing (and scary)
It makes sense that if you wake up in slow wave sleep, then go back to sleep, you are more likely to have lucid dreams.
This is one technique I've come across to wake yourself up at 3am, then fall back asleep.
wtf is the point
for me they can either be spooky af or you just feel powerless (then forcebly wake up)
I have weird/spooky dreams regardless.
I have just gotten use to them.
I kind of see everything in my dreams.
@@jer103 even the UK flooding with tea
No, but I dream very visually for the past 25 years.
When I'm under alot of stress I have noticed quite a few times I'm watching or doing something & the next minute it's 4 hours later & I'm sleeping in my bed. On those occasions talking to people in the house they never noticed any differents of me. It doesn't happen much just when I extra stressed & tired.🛌
Woah
Never have slept walked nor have been in the presence of someone else sleepwalking
i did sleep walking and it was always the flight or fight type. So it would feel like I was gonna die at any moment and I was so scared. Most of the time i didn't remember but sometimes I would remember it. I was young and it naturally stopped after I was 11 years old. I never knew what it was. But thanks to this video I now know what happened to me.
I sleep walk all the time, the only thing that "wakes me up" is if someone asks me a simple math question, works every time
On several occasions when I was a kid I managed to sleepwalk myself out my front door, locking it behind me, walking across the road to the kids across the road I used to play with and ask them to play lol the neighbours would call my parents to come get me they couldn't believe it everything they were shocked, after the second time they put a second lock on the door 🤣🤣 these days I tend to sleepwalk to the kitchen and eat whilst asleep waking up with rubbish everywhere 🥺😳
Oh man did I ever sleepwalk! I think one of the most extreme sleepwalking episode was when I was 11. I had gone to bed early and everyone else was awake. They side that I ran up and down the stairs, fught the water from the tap, and pointed at the calender saying "I need my stuff". My sister even recorded a little of it. In the end they woke me by putting me in the bath! And it resulted in them giving me a key word that they'd make me say to make sure I awake. This is not the only extreme sleepwalking incident but I think this is getting to long :)
I once sleepwalked in just my boxers and ended up sleeping on the kitchen floor. When my mum noticed me on her way to get water and woke me up, I literally freaked out
ayo mama it’s a teacher work day lemme fuckin’ sleep like a man
When I was a kid I once fell asleep in my bed with a blanket, and woke up on the toilet in a sleeping bag
My friend lives alone. But he says someone always walks him back to his bed. Like wtf does that mean? 💀
What? 😭
Bro please elaborate 🙏😭
The cat’s expression lol 1:32
I never experienced sleepwalking but I’ve had many occasions where I would sleep talk to my girlfriend after going to sleep when really tired
I would say random sentences with no context and start conversations but I wouldn’t have any memory of it. I felt so creeped out after watching myself talk in the videos my girlfriend recorded and I still don’t understand how could I have no consciousness and still communicate and listen?
happens all the time. ask any grade school teacher
Had a patient very confused and quite cut up. Turns out she had climbed through a barbwire fence and walked several kilometres through muddy paddocks before following a road where a good Samaritan called it in.
i dont know how you did it ted-ed but i was thinking this exact thing earlier! i had a couple sleep walking episodes when i was a kid waking up curled up on my carpet freaked my mum out!! i also slept talked ALOT sometimes having whole conversations with my siblings cus they also slept talk. All while asleep
Reminds me about that one time, when I had to go out in an early morning and my fiance wanted to go out with me. Let's assume his name is Carl. He lives in the apartment next to my building, but we were together that night.
He woke me up earlier than needed, put his clothes and went to sleep again. I did my morning routine and went to wake him up. Carl woke up... Emotionless. His eyes were open, but didn't seem to move naturally.
He did his morning routine and we went to dress up further, it was a cold morning. And... Carl only put his lighter clothes. I tried to ask some basic questions, but he did not respond to any of that. He tend to not answer when he's grumpy so I assume he's and wants to go sleep again, but he promised to go out of the house with me. I also assumed he would go continue sleeping in his home, so we went anyway.
We're on the cold streets in buildings' shadows. I tried to cheer Carl up, but it didn't work. He wasn't paying attention to anything and continue walking. I started to worry and tried to snap his attention.
We went into the sun. He flinched and screamed in response to the light. He finally looked at me. He was extremely confused and scared why we're outside. Carl. Was. Sleepwalking. The entire. Time.
We, both in shock, run back home to warm him up. Carl went back to sleep further in the bed.
The funniest thing is that I was sleepwalking THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, where I "woke up" and started loudly and demonically mumbling "enchanting spells" in middle of the night. Carl wanted to test me if I'm asleep and asked "what's 47x53?". And, without a thought, I told "2491", which was the CORRECT ANSWER and I'm always awful at calculating big numbers in mind. He woke me up by shining the phone's flashlight on me
I was told that my aunt would play basketball while sleep walking when she way younger. So if my mom heard someone bouncing a basketball at 4 am then she new her sister was sleepwalking
once when i was a kid, I apparently sleepwalked to my parent bedroom claiming and i said what i was unable to sleep. so my dad moved over to my bed and there was not enough for all three of us. i woke up the next morning and freaked out. I apparently looked wide awake and nothing I said was gibberish.
I once was sleep walking and my cousin saw me and gazed at me, and I said to him "don't worry I'm not sleep walking". Of course I dont remember any of this 🤣
0:48 Oh my days...I WISH the prefrontal cortex actually had control. Try wrestling with the amygdala, cerebellum or the hypothalamus when things go awry...never mind the rest of the nervous system.
I sleepwalk and sleeptalk but the thing that idk how i can i just create conversations like? Why csn i do q whole conversation
Wife used to do this quite often. Mostly consisted of us getting up in the night, literally skipping to the light switch, turning it on and then start hysterically screaming.
I literally walked downstairs while sleepwalking, I didn’t remember anything, my mom told me that she found me sleeping in another room downstairs, I’m still confused.
Mines driving me nuts im now altering my phone setting turning on heaters fire hazard sucks as im 5 stone 11 and im turning on and off lights. Very annoying. Im definitely hiding the car keys.
When I was 3 or 4 years old, I used to often fall asleep in my bed, but wake up only to find myself spinning on the spot next to my bed lol. This isn’t something I was told, it’s something I very clearly remember.
When I was a teenager my dads partner came into my bedroom one night and started scratching at the wall. When I got up and asked her what she was doing, she said, “Shh, I’m doing your fathers taxes.” She then went to the toilet (not in my room, in the bathroom, not my room). The next morning I asked her about it and she had no recollection.
I used to climb down from my bunkbed's top bunk, take my mom's phone and play snake. Like actually play it!? I could also hold up complicated conversations so sometimes my parents weren't convinced that I was awake even when I was actually awake. Waking me up for school was a nightmare (pun intended) since I could answer all their questions and comments while I was asleep.
you clearly had a big brain that prevented you from going to school
the best lies are the ones that you can convince yourself are real
That was very interresting, can you do one who is like the opposite of sleepwalking, please ?, like the sleep paralysis.
thank you
You're in luck! We have a video on that very subject already: bit.ly/TEDEdSleepParalysis
@@TEDEd I'm watching it right now, thank you for the good information
I used to have really bad night terrors all through my childhood up until college. But now it has reduced to a point of sleepwalking where I am awake eyes wide open and still seeing the dream environment around me. I get confused and sometimes move a bit across the room and soon the dream environment fades away like an illusion. I also have a dream habit of putting stuff away so later I have to find out where it is. I am not sure if anybody else has experienced this. Pretty annoying.
Years ago, while in the Army, I was stationed with a company of returned Vietnam infantry vets, one of whom was an American Indian. I was told he would sleep walk at times. I was billeted in a different barracks building than his and slept in a top bunk on the 2nd floor. One night while sleeping I felt a presence and opened my eyes. There, staring at me about 18 inches away was this man. Neither of us moved a muscle for a minute or so and just stared at each other. Then he turned around, walked down the stairs and back into the night. Kind of freaked me out.
I used to do all sorts of things as a child while sleeping. I would walk, talk, scream, eat, and go to the washroom. I would have night terrors, and it freaked my parents out the first few times it happened. I don't sleep walk much anymore, rarely ever, but occasionally, I'll wake up in the morning to my closest door open, my bedroom door closed and locked, or my toilet unflushed.
Props to that guy who sleepwalked to the cinemas to watch Morbius.
i love these sleep related videos
A common misconception is 'if you rouse a sleepwalker, it will cause irreparable harm'.
Do you guys have a collections of all the quotes you guys use? Some of the quotes are simply great?
i used to sleepwalk and sleep talk!
i don’t sleepwalk anymore but i definitely talk in my sleep
apparently i have a lot of totally normal sounding conversations with people while i’m sleeping, and i just won’t remember it at all (or occasionally i say some nonsense that doesn’t make sense)
i panic midsleep and i see delusions and shadows moving (bugs , people ,etc) and everything disappears once i turn on the light
this really happens ??
I once walked into my aunts room, stood there for a minute, them walked back to bed
That's what she told me
Great video. I sleepwalked multiple times as a kid, but I would often talk, cry or scream. Fortunately that scream thing only happened like one or two times, but still, imagine waking up in the middle of the night to your child screaming only to see her completely asleep when you check on her 😂
Lol yeah xDDDD
That's happened to me once or twice where I'd apparently cry in my sleep and my dad would carry me to my parent's room. I would wake up so confused.
@@pranaypatil3114 did you wet your pants when you heard your mumbering in the recording?
I sleptwalk only once in my entire life, I know this cause I went to bed, but woke up the next morning sleeping in the bath tub.
As a teenager now at 1am laying in bed thinking about the past. Somehow stumbled across this video and I remembered my first time sleep walking. It’s 2020 and I am 9 years old, stayed up till 2am watching tv shows. Randomly woke up on the couch, I go over to the microwave to check the time and it’s 4am. So then I walk into my parents room and just, go in their shower and peed in there. Fell asleep in there with running water in my clothes. So I woke up with wet clothes, pissed off parents, and confusion.
As a kid, I would walk and sit down next to my dad late at night. He would try to talk to me but my responses would not cognitive. He would walk me to my bed and tuck me in. I once woke up in my laundry room with the outside door wide open. I woke up in a bathtub and even woke up hugging a glue bottle. Now that I’m in my early twenties, I haven’t had any recent night time where a-bouts (not that I know of).
I’ve found myslef waking up in a different room of the house from where I’ve fallen asleep, but this usually happens when I have a lot of stress.
I’ve sleep walked since I was old enough to remember. I’m 64 and do it more as I’ve gotten older. I don’t always remember but sometimes I do. One time I made quesadillas. Didn’t eat them. Found the evidence in the morning. When I was a little kid my mother found me peeing in the hall closet. Just two weeks ago I got up and went to work at 11 pm. No big deal except I was only supposed to be there at 4 am. I remember waking up confused why the time clock at work wasn’t working. Yeah it’s very bizarre behavior but It’s what I got. It ain’t that big a deal. Mahalo.
I once sleepwalked in a train as a kid. Thats my only time.
The closest I've come to sleepwalking is when a couple times as a young kid, I peed my bed because I thought I was in the bathroom
Okay, so my only sleepwalking episode ever was about three years ago: I was out partying with my university friends and got really drunk, then crashed at one of my friends places. She lived in an apartment and somehow I managed to sleepwalk out of it and found myself sitting in the hallway, locked out. Even before I woke up entirely I tryed to text my friends to let me in again but it was mostly gibberish. After I woke up I hesitated at first but eventually just rang the bell and her roommate let me in. We all laughed pretty hard the next day when my friends found the text and I told them what had happened.
Lately, if I have a really stressful day at work, I would dream of a task that I would consider stressful and actively enact the task like moving things around or handing out important documents, but I would wake up in my bed sitting upright super confused.
I think I just need therapy 😅
That reminded me of my college roommate. He usually sleep-walk, speaks in at least 3 different languages and sometimes calls out people by name. I was terrified when I witnessed this for the first time, I could not sleep that night. But after that I just woke him up.
put whipped cream on his hand and tickle his face with a feather
I hold conversations when I sleep talk lol
