- Have you ever walked in your sleep? Somnambulism isn't as rare as you might think. Join Cristen as she explores the facts and fiction about sleepwalking, from its many possible causes to whether you can safely wake up a somnambulist mid-stroll.
My sister once punched me in her sleep. She sat up, turned to me with a blank expression, punched me, and lay down again. I think beating me up has become an instinctive activityfor her.
Punch back

Paul Green why not. People do it all the time. Don’t you sleep with your siblings? (If you have any)
@@freshtoast831 I do
Alaa Hayawi me too.
I once slept walked into the bathroom and squeezed toothpaste in my eyes, I woke up on the bathroom floor with my eyes burning like crazy.
LOL and sad ;(
Icypenguinpug lol Hahahaha
my up next was "I WAS SOOO LUCKY!!" what a coinsidence xD
I think you say it like "sleepwalked" instead of "slept walked" lol
agent475816 Yes
I'm 16. I had a sleepwalking episode where I literally walked out of my home and crouched near the street, cowering. My mom came outside a few moments later screaming like crazy. She said I was sleep talking, telling myself "There's a bomb in the house, there's a bomb in the house. Get out!"
To this day, my dad teases me about it so much. Every time I come home he says "We have a code yellow." -.-
My mom said it was genetic, since she also sleepwalks. :P
Cool story bro.
Omg this is hilarious 😂 thanks for sharing
KillaKade that’s actually pretty scary! That’s always been one of my fears.
Half of it similar to me
When I was a kid I did the same like I walked out of my home. When I about to open the gate my mother stopped me. But I really wish to know what I was up to... 😅
Same here. Except it only runs with the girls in my family my mom sleep booked my grandma did as well last night I walked up to my mom and said. Where is my story you said one more story and you never came back so she told me today and I was like what?
I shaved off an eyebrow while sleepwalking. that was a shocking morning.
Jane Smith Dang
🙄I’m sure
I cut my hair once while sleepwalking, I feel your pain.
@@nolakilar916 noooooo
Nah nah sumone was too funny and pranked u
I get the opposite problem. Sleep paralysis. Awake, yet dreaming, and paralyzed. A little unsettling to say the least.
Swidhelm what is happening to you is demons are attacking you. Pray if you feel you been attack
Me too. I get both.
OH WTF YOU GUYS HAVE THAT THING I’m scared to have it :3
Sleep paralysis is way worse!!
conan boyle I get nightmares of it everyday. Imagine a fucking creepy white eyed malformed dude who comes crawling on you and you can do nothing about it. Like it?
When I was 12, I literally was sleepwalking EVERY night. This one night there was a thunderstorm, I was sleepwalking and I woke my mom up standing over her and apparently I was mumbling "bury the witch" and "quickly before she wakes up" I apparently then opened my eyes wide at the exact same time lightning and thunder crashed. Really freaky, but my mom put me back to bed. The next morning I woke up in the middle of the woods in my underwear. I was lying in a small hole that I dug up with my hands. I was mortified I thought I was kidnapped.
Haha, wtf, may be Jinn has possessed you
Sleepwalking is starting to scare me a bit now
that I see this.
@@kingmaker5602 a what?
@@parafysh jinn, Google it. Also I was joking
lol
I used to sleep walk when I was younger, I would change my clothes, I would wake up in different clothes, inside out and backwards. The most embarrassing moment was when I did this at a friend's house and her Dad caught me sleepwalking in my underwear.
Strange Beans akward.. But i can say ive had a similar story
Lol same it happened today just didn't put other clothes on.
Illegal, call FBI lol
Shawnie Race i always woke up with no pants on or underwear, ya lucky u had underwear on at lest, more embarrassing being seen with no underwear on lol.
I thought that said you woke up in your friends dad's underwear 0_0
When i was a kid I went to the bathroom sleepwalking, opened a cabinet and peed on it..
Carlos Cifuentes Haha
Trash can for me....thought it was the toilet
Same
I peed at the shoes cabinet when I was young
Trash for me
I'm a chronic sleepwalker myself and I had a rather funny sleepwalking incident a few years ago. I was at a grocery store with my uncle and cousin, and as I was waiting in line, my eyes started burning. So I wiped them and then I decided to rest them for a bit so it wouldn't look like I had been crying. About 5 seconds later, I felt overwhelmingly dizzy and I had to lean on something, and then I ended up slowly crouching down to one knee and I sorta sat down while leaning against the snack shelf, and I guess I either passed out or blacked out from the dizziness while sitting there. (I guess the person in front of me didn't notice, and my uncle and cousin were waiting in a different line) I must've fallen into a deep sleep fast because I couldn't have been out for more than a minute or two before the sleepwalking started. The next thing I can remember is that I had just walked out the door and was walking toward my uncle and cousin who were waiting for me in the parking lot. For some reason, I thought we were at Wal-Mart, but we were actually at Food Lion. My uncle asked me if I made a new friend in there, and I had no idea what he was talking about. At this point, I still wasn't fully aware of what was going on and it took me a couple of minutes to fully wake up. Anyway, long story short, according to my uncle and cousin, I was in there talking to the lady cashier for quite a while and I had no memory of it. I didn't even remember paying for any of the stuff I had in my cart. I guess sleepwalkers really can do complex things. I still wonder to this day what all I said to her. For all I know, I was probably talking nonsense the whole time lol
I've had that dizzy black out before and I've fallen asleep and immediatly slep walked. I'm a Chris as well. 😂
TL;DR ? You should add that
I once woke up peeing in my frontyard
SC Jumps this isn’t reddit lol. if ur too lazy to read then don’t 🤷🏽♀️
@@gravzk6392 4 years ago was different. I'm better at typing now
My mom told me that while she was in college, her roommate got up and set the table in her sleep. I've never sleep-walked, but when I was in college I freaked out my roommate by sitting up in bed and screaming in my sleep. I guess freaking out college roommates must run in the family.
Lol
Fun fact: that's a form of sleepwalking.
Yes the other night I woke up screaming because I had a nightmare that a cat was on top of me and I couldn't move. I scared my sister. Just last night I think I cought my self sleep walking. Because I woke up in the middle of the night and I was sitting up eating an gronola bar that I wasn't supposed to be eating because I'm vegan. I'm also having trouble with memory in day to day activity. So I could have like Alzheimer's or something, I told my mother about my sleep walking, and memory problems I don't think she would willing to take me to the doctor because she wants to self medicate me.
One time i was sleeping on the floor then my mom told me to go to bed instead i got up went to the door opened it went outside and layed down on the ground. But boy did i wake up when i felt her slap me. XD
whatsmyname I envy you for being an ex-sleepwalker.
Aj Did you have a heart attack though cause waking from sleep walking gives you heart attack
Aj LMAO
@@diamondsanimations3879 did you not just watch the video?? Nothing happens if you wake them up
Oof r.i.p. xD
Story time: I've slept walked a good 3-4 times before this experience but this was my weirdest and most recent. I have to explain this first tho, When I wake up for school I get my hair straightener, brush, and laptop and then i take it into my old brothers room (he had the best mirror). I woke up one night sitting on the floor in my brothers bedroom listening to tyler, the creator and with my hair straightener on. I was really confused because I just woke up like this! I looked at the time on my laptop and it was 12 am on the dot. I was confused, I unplugged the straightener and shut down my laptop went back into my room. I wake up again in my brothers room but a different song is on and it was 3 am on the dot exactly. I did this several more times just repeating and repeating. I went back to bed and woke up to my alarm at the right time, but I had bruises all over me and cuts! Last night I woke up standing up out of my bed just standing. I had no idea how long I've been there but my legs hurt the rest of the day. I hope I don't do it again but in you guys no how to stop it I'd love to know how! if this doesn't blow up I swear i typed all of this more nothing!
Well it didnt blow up but it was certainly interesting lol. Hope your doing well now tho
ayo wtf this is very creepy
not like weirdly creepy but interestingly creepy
Jinn is in you.
I was a sleep walker too but it stopped when I got into my teens. Apparently one time I ran into my parents room and started screaming about ants when I was like 14....and I have no memory of this. I still sleep talk pretty much every night and it pisses off whoever is sharing a bed with me. I really wish I could remember what I do or say just to know but it tends to be gibberish.
xHaniffax I understand
LOL those around me just laugh ,,, family trait so most realize in our family goes the joke "DO THEY EVER SHUT UP !!??" Hehehehe
Sorry, I slightly died when you said you were screaming about ants. xD
the ants 😡🐜
How did sleep walking stopped?
I now permanently sleep on the sofa downstairs in the lounge as I woke up twice hanging out my upper bedroom window !!!! The cold air on my face woke me up!!Lucky to be alive. True story.
I was a sleepwalker as a kid; according to my parents, I ran up and down the stairs FULL SPEED, and on several occassions, I also picked up books and friggin TRIED TO READ while fully asleep 😂. Funnily enough, my parentd were so freaked out, they literally thought I was POSSESSED. They even called the excorcist to pray over me lol. After that, I developed a huge anxiety about falling asleep, because I was worried that the devil could take over me...looking back I wish they weren't too superstitious
Thank you for moving the advert to the end. Great video!
Yeah much better. I also like the frame so it's where the commercial starts and ends. I hope they keep that
I feel scared of sleepwalking from what I have done before. The last time I sleepwalked, I ran into my moms room screaming, and slammed my head into a pillow crying. (My mom told me this, it was about a month ago, and I am currently 13). She asked what was happening, and I just wouldn't respond, then about 10 minutes later, I sprinted out of her room crying. I have no idea what happened there.
Flight Jamaa Yeah it's creepy because the one time I sleep walked my friend took a video of me and I kept spinning around and it really creeped me out as well as my friend.
Gotta go fast
One time I waited outside the toilet for my mom to get out and started dancing while sleepwalking.
Gaming Limited omg I've done that
Why am I laughing
Yes! I slept walked as a child but I was conscious on a few occasions. One time I walked over to the table a picked up a crayon box and gave it to my mother and when she wasn't satisfied when I gave it to her, I woke up. I specifically gave her the crayon box to make her happy (i don't know why) but when she didn't smile something about her expression woke me up. Another time I asked my dad to take my arms off as I proceeded to lift my arms over my head (I don't remember doing this but my family told me as they witnessed it). I also remember being very emotional while sleepwalking. One time I woke up crying and asked my mom to "take me home. I want to go home" and I woke up crying and I was confused by myself because I remember asking her to take me home but I was already at home. I have really vivid memories of sleepwalking even though that was 13 years ago. I don't anymore but I still continue to phase in and out of dreaming and being awake. Most of my dreams happen in my room where I'm sleeping because I open my eyes when I dream.
I used to sleep walk A LOT as a child, but just recently with in the last year I have been caught sleepwalking twice and its kind of concerning.. the two most recent episodes: 1st (last year) I has just changed rooms with my sister and randomly in the middle of the night I got up from my bed and walked to hers.. the 2nd episode (last night and reason why I'm researching this today) I slept walked into my bathroom and tripped on something, awaking my step mom who said I then got up and walked around the house holding my shoulder saying "it hurts" over and over. THIS was a very concerning one because I had obviously hurt myself in my sleep... sleep walking is a lot more intense then people think, I just cant believe that happened and I didn't wake up.
When I was about 7 I was sleepwalking. I went downstairs to the living room where my mom was And told her I couldn't sleep.
i sleepwalked i was in my bed i woke up in the downstairs bath tub
I don't know how do you know if you've been sleep walking
( everyone leave a like on this comment if your wondering the samething )!!!
Many sleepwalkers wake up outside of their bed, sometimes standing up.
I had a hard time believing I was sleep walking I thought I was having vivid weird dreams but then started noticing things I'd done in my sleep an knew it was real
GameingCaptain UA-cam sometimes someone who catches you sleep walking tells you.
I had a sleepwalk today for the first time, I was sleeping on the bed and somehow I found my self on the couch, it was creepy af😂 I was so exhausted and kinda sick before sleeping
And I took my Phone with me when I went to the couch😂
that's not any help but thanks for the video
Emma Carter What were you hoping to learn? (Maybe we can point you in the right direction!)
+BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks my friend said sleep fights and bites☺😋😝😜
what about being aware that your sleep walking and at the same time not aware? while dreaming all at the same time??? and its the same re-occurring dream I have.....I sleepwalk while im aware of it and at the same time I am unaware and tuned into the dream I am having (which is always the same dream/nightmare of Existence beyond earth and space ending) while meantime I am sweating and crying turning on all the lights in the house. and I remember this all....(this has happened to me 3 times in my life...the exact same dream that I can explain in 100% detail..I have no idea what this is
+Penticton Films Dreams are weird and hard to explain. Best to just not think about it.
it's not supposed to help, the title is "how does sleepwalking work?" not "how to to stop sleepwalking?"
I have had different episodes of sleepwalking during my childhood and part of my adulthood. Most of them happen in my parents house and they told me it involves walking to our front yard, looking as if something/someone knocked the door or rang the bell and then head back to the bed. They also said every now and then they could hear me mumbling while asleep (once a girlfriend told me it was hilarious because it made no sense what I said). So I'm getting a little worried about the neurological consecuence behind this things but hopefully its just stress or something.
what if you sleepwalk almost daily like I do? And your tired during the day
Have you seen a medical professional?
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks I am going to. Today is my yearly bloodtest and I am going to have my doctor refer me to a sleep clinic.
Ann so what happened?
Joseph M. I did the sleep study, gonna make a video about it soon. But anyway I slept really poorly because of all the equipment attached to me. I just went for my results couple days ago and everything was normal, my sleep pattern was just slightly atypical , onmly 1 episode of Rem and often very little transitioning, like almosty from awake to deep sleep in a very short time or from deep sleep immediatly to awake.
She said its probably triggered by stress and when I have stress I should find something to cope with it
+Ann that's fucked :o
I have never slept walked and it's so absurd and bizzare to me. Like HOW?!
You are legit walking and you are sleeping at the same time!? The human body is so mysterious
One time I fell asleep in my room and then apparently I slept walked into my guestroom and I woke up naked in that bed. o.o
Naked? Lol classic lol
looool same just not naked
I'm dead ..
The brain is an amazing but weird organ haha!
I once remember my mom waking me up for dinner ( it was burgers and fries) and i remember in a daze taking the fries from the thing (cardboard?) and throwing it then eating the fries from the ground ,my mom looked at me but said nothing and my siblings were too sleepy to care
Other story was in the first time I sleepwalked :
So I woke up and ate breakfast with my brother and mom when my brother says suddenly “do u remember last night?” And in confusion I say “no..?” And he told me the story last night were (when I was in the middle of taking care of my siblings since my mom is out) I sleepwalked, well, it was when she came back from the trip when I ran up to her and greeted her and she was kinda mad but once she saw that I was not “awake” she laughed and told me to just go to bed fast before she sees me and gets angry, so I literally ran to my bedroom, hit my arm / shoulder on the cabinet next to the bed and fell asleep... no wonder I had that pain on my arm when I woke up 😀😭
one time i slept walked to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. my husband said he had to help walk me back to bed. i didnt know this until my husband told me next day
also yesterday my husband told me when i was sleeping i sat up and had my eyes wide open looking round the room plus my mouth was wide open. then i lay back down sleeping. its bit freaky when my husband tells me all this. he said it scares him when he sees it
I almost walked out of the door with a phone charger in my hand gonna bring it to someone while sleepwalking😂
That Guy Who Sings Ooof I kind of sleepwalk every night and it sucks
That Guy Who Sings but I mainly just say random things when I sleep walk
I was sleepwalking and I could remember the dream, me screaming, sitting, running. And my parents said that's what I did while my eyes were completely closed. I was acting out my dream
I once slept walk and said "the wicked witch is dead!" I think I was dreaming about the wizard of oz!
I've been sleepwalking for the past few years, but when I do, I tend to be very violent and aggressive during them. They last for about 10-20 minutes in average, and happen quite often. My parents ended up putting a lock on a lot of the doors because I keep breaking and hurting things, whoops..
I tend to have quite "disturbing" dreams (well, most people I know would consider them disturbing, but I quite like them,) so that ain't very good
I only slept walked once in my life, and this is nothing compared to other’s stories, but onetime me and my mom were at a hotel and I remember it, I was half asleep, I could see but not all the way, and I remember getting up and walking outside the hotel room. I closed the hotel room door and went to the room next to us, and I almost knocked on the door, but at the last second I REMEMBER thinking, “wait what am I doing?” And I woke up a little more. I went back to my room but the door was locked so I started knocking on the door. My mom opened it and I saw the look of terror on her face as she saw me standing outside of the room. After that, she always piled stuff against the door so if I ever did it again, she would hear me trying to get out. The really weird thing about this was I felt half asleep. I could see and I remember this all happening, it’s really weird. The next day I sort of remembered a dream I had where my mom was in the room next to me so I think that’s what happened
Another time (this one is about me talking in my sleep) there was a thunderstorm and little kid me was scared of thunderstorms, so I went downstairs and slept in my parent’s room. Apparently I sat up in the bed in the middle of the night, and stared straight into the corner and said, “[cousin’s name], give me the ball” and held my hand out. My mom said “Uh no [my name] I have the ball” and I said “oh” and laid back down and went to sleep.
I wish there was more information on it. I've been told I've had full on conversations with someone and I was "awake" but when I wake up later I don't remember having a conversation at all with anyone at all. Matter a fact I only remember what I was doing leading to falling asleep then I just wake up I don't remember anything that happens between the hours I was asleep, but family members told me that they had conversations with me that they woke me up looked at them while talking to them. I know I've had times where I sleep walked to the kitchen grabbed a plate of food, started eating it, dropped the plate, and head straight back to bed to sleep. When I wake up I don't remember doing any of that stuff.
I also sleep walk, normally i wander around my house and stare at people but it dosnt help that i also have sleep paralysis
Came here because I went downstairs at 2 am yesterday and went back up after a couple minutes and I didn't even do anything downstairs...
Same my stepdad said he heard me go downstairs really slowly and he said " um are you ok " because it was like 3:00 morning and apparently I stopped for a second and went back upstairs and went back to bed my stepdad was like ummmmm???? Ok
The weird part was i had a dream I was going downstairs and heard my stepdad say " Bryan are you ok " and freaked out and went back to my bed and flipped off my enemy out my window and the crazy part was that was my dream and apparently I slept walk downstairs and went back up
Jag T.V me to it happen yesterday
I got my phone off the charger and took it, opened youtube and started a video from my favourite youtuber.Idk how
Your vids are awesome guys, thank you, I look forward to this dose of information and knowledge! :)
Thanks!
i was disturbing someone when i was asleep and i was saying "not that,not that"
I slept walk last night to the bathroom but didn't pee
Myeesha Odom
SAME N I GOT TRAPPED IN MY MAID ROOM (but i didnt hsve one)
Well I actually freaked out some schoolmates as well as we were on a trip to Berlin and I was in bed. And then I sat up, started laughing, layed down. Sat up again, started laughing again and layed down. I am quite scared now because I don't remember anything. One classmate of me fled out of the room, she told me all this xD
@@maartjekusters4948 Damn xD
A few nights ago I actually did wake up to some sleep walking. And I was actually dreaming about spilling rice by my bed so I got out the bed to pick it up, moved my very heavy side table only to wake up digging under my bed to pick up the “rice” lol. Sleep walking in dreams is still possible
Yesterday I was sleepwalked to the living room and nearly peed on the floor... and then apparently I was chanting words😢
Actually...you may be able to remember what happened and you may act out your dream while sleep walking.Just like a regular dream, u may remember bits and pieces. I used to do it quite frequently as a child. One time I left our apt and walked down the stairs and walked a few buildings down and up the stairs to a friend’s apt. I knocked on her door and since they weren’t opening I started knocking louder and louder (it was about 1am). Finally, her mom answered the door and asked me wht I was doing there. That’s when I woke up and without saying a word I ran back home. As I was getting hm, my mom was coming down the stairs in panic, about to call the cops thinking I had been kidnapped. I do remember that I actually went to my friend’s house cos I thought she had the key to get back into my apt. So basically, I was acting out my dream. I even remember headlights of a car as I was walking thru the parking lot.
so how do you then know if something is just a dream or an actual sleepwalk?
One time i sleepwalked and did an entire puzzle (1000 pieces) and it took like 40 minutes, I didn't remember anything even though I was sleepwalking for soooo long.
One time I woke up during the night, unable to find my blanket. Turn on the lights and its across the room on an old foosball table. I was also told I sleepwalked once at my grandparents house, apparently I walked in circles around the kitchen table then walked back to bed.
How can you tell if you sleepwalk?
wake up somewhere other then where you fell asleep
@@lqboren47some people go explore their kitchen and go back to their bed
So u can't always tell
Sleepwalking is also connected to stress, once I had to get up very early, couldn't sleep and I was tensed about not hearing my alarm. My husband saw me get up after the alarm, sit on the bed for a while with my eyes open to then go to the bathroom and back to bed. I have no recollection and did not woke at time. Even years ago went outside in a different country to then come back to my room. I was staying in the middle of nowhere and my roommate found me very strange after that. I went bare foot into the wilderness where there were scorpions etc and I woke up the next morning with my sheets stained with dirt......... She did not even went after me. Why would someone sane without replying or saying anything go outside alone in the middle of the night without any slippers or shoes. Luckily there was no scratch on me.
Whenever I don't sleep in my bed I scream and sleepwalk back too my bed. Once I slept over my friends house and I walked into his room and went under the bed and slept
+donald del used to do that as a kid, my parents were like "???????" haha
I've been sleepwalking since I was 10, I'm 19 now, so about 9 years of it. But for the past 3 years I have noticed, that I usually wake up during sleep walking and it mostly happens if I'm under a lot of stress. For example if I have a lot of things to think about like school or emotional stress. Being sick is also something that causes it for me.
If anything I'm never going to buy a Harry's Shaving Kit.
shaving in your sleep could be dangerous HA HA
I would recommend watching the Blackout web series. Its about how this guy sleepwalks, but he's awake...
One morning I woke up and my mom said last night I tried to go in my gaming
Room and use the restroom on my couch lol 😂
I sleepwalked to by two local bars last week (same night). It was sparked by a youth trauma of finding a guy breaking into my house who must of been high because he didn't know what he was doing. Sleepwalking usually is repeating usual behaviours. When someone is out they are out and don't try to wake them unless they are a danger to themselves or others.
Could you guys do a video on sleep paralysis to go with this?
Cool idea! We'll add that to our list of future topics. We're big fans of sleep related questions!
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks OH NO I HAVE NIGHTMARES OF THAT THINNG
creeeeepy..
I sleepwalked twice last month. the first time I woke up and there was piss all over, under and around my desk. the other time I tore apart my mouse pad, opened the stove and tore aluminum foil apart and put it in the sink
Listen to the song Lucid Collective Somnambulation.
Your welcome.
What kind of demon song is that!?!?! All I heard was screaming or singing if you call it that
As a kid apparently i would talk in my sleep and at some point i looked like as if i was going to fall down the stairs until my cousin guided me back to bed
interesting stuff, but what the heck is wrong with the music, this is a video, not an elevator
Santiago Echeverri now that you mention it, it bugs me as hell!!! :)))
y do u even care about the music??
Wdym? This video helped me go up 5 floors up the building
Oh man I got some crazy sleep walking stories. So far in my life I broke 2 doors. The worse I did was rip sheet rock off my wall including ripping half the lamination off my door. I was having a nightmare while sleeping. I've also walked outside naked and talked to someone. Eaten more things than I can count and broken many many things
So I've been told i have slept walked once. I went to brush my teeth and when my brother woke me up i really wondered how i got there without waking myself up. My sister also slept walked once when she went to pee in the bin, wooow.
My grandad sleep talks and it scares me, loool
I sleepwalk without my glasses. I also get up and cook full meals. Ironically, I hate cooking!!!
Never sleepwalk... I think... IHOPE oh no what if I'm sleeping right now ill never know :-(
My aunt (when she was a kid) once sleepwalked and she did a most crazy thing. She says that she vaguely remembered having a dream that her hamster was cold, so guess what? While sleepwalking, she got the hamster and put it in the oven. My grandfather the next day went to put the oven on but luckily he spotted the hamster! xD this is a true story!
Talk about microwaves! Are they really harmful for your health? Does it contaminate the food? Would it hurt on a long run?? Would be a beast video
No, no and no done.
I wasn't the one asking. It's a suggestion. Not everyone knows those answers and think opposite.
Hey UltraGamer. We'll add microwaves to our list of potential topics for future episodes. Thanks!
I don't think so, I' think that only gamma rays and x-rays are harmful not microwaves. Well microwaves are harmful if they get close to you. (Not the appliance its what the appliance uses) If you don't no microwaves make the molecules in the food to move a high speeds causing friction and creating heat. If the microwaves hit your body your molecules will then heat up and burn. The door on the microwave protects us though, so no need to be scared.
I do a thing in my sleep buts it’s not sleepwalking. I stay in bed while doing it. My dad had told that when I’m sleeping sometimes I will kick in my sleep which is actually me running in my dream. My sister told me one time I grabbed my pillow and started kicking. The dream was of me running to get Dino toys before a place exploded. I’m guessing that was the part where I picked one up and started running.
My brother kicked my dad in the croutch while sleepwalking
I am a sleepwalker and I DO REMEMBER what I have experienced. This has happened over many years.
I went sleepwalking ounce. I went to sleep in a chair and woke up in bed.
Sula Bintley same here
Sula Bintley I wish I could sleepwalk that would be so cool
Lauren Epps I don't think you would notice anything about it :p
what do u mean?
Lauren Epps You won't remember you spend the night walking around in your sleep because you were sleepwalking.
My mom recently just randomly walked out and said someone came out of her room, carrying her water bottle, kept repeating it when my sister asked her wtf she was talking about, and then went back to bed. Honestly was so scared because I didn’t realize she was sleepwalking at first
Hey BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks ! :) I've been sleepwalking all my life. Im a 16 year old boy (tomorrow i'll be 17) and im curious if im going to have to live With sleepwalking the rest of my life. I don't know if I sleepwalk every night, but I do sometimes. I've done some wierd stuff while sleepwalking. like trowing a saw and some Nails at my Brother.. (8 years ago) and i've just recently I broke a lamp in my room. sometimes i am 40% awake while sleepwalking. I am like a spectator while it is happening. And i actually while doing this act out what i am dreaming. one time i dreamt that it was a door behind a shelf, so I pushed it away to ''get to the door'' (7 years ago). :S I know it sounds very violent, but it doesn't happen often. i usually just talk and walk in my sleep There is no Medical Professional in my town. (i live in Norway in a smal village With 6K People) Thanks for Reading :) (sorry about my English)

Thanks for writing us! That sounds very frustrating, especially since you can't find a doctor to talk to. Hopefully your friends and family are understanding and supportive. Have you ever seen the movie "Sleepwalk With Me?" It's about a real-life stand up comedian named Mike Birbiglia who sleepwalks so much he has to strap himself down at night. You might want to watch it, at least for catharsis!
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks ill watch it :) Ty for answering!
+ma9nu22 Try to get a sleep study done. Most cities with population over 60 to 70 thousand will have department at local hospital. I've been sleepwalking for as far back as I can remember (I'm in my forties now). It does become a little less frequent with age but it is still quite disturbing to awake out in the garage in my underwear in the dead of winter. Try not to eat to close to bedtime and stay away from foods with MSG's. In my experience ingesting food containing that preservative tends to worsen weird dreams and sleepwalking. Good luck.
My Dr suggested that. I did so,,,, I was able to undo it (first try with a string on my wrist in triple knots as tight as I could,,,, next night with a chain (light) and a paddle lock STILL undid it. THAN with the same chain and a combination lock,,, could STILL undo it. LOL I don't try these things any more.
Try bubble rap on the floor......not sure if it works but worth a try
I sleep walk as an adult, if I'm somewhere unfamiliar I usually will stare at walls (usually in a kitchen or dining room) for an extended period of time, but recently I've been traveling a bit and I got caught waking up, walking to the work van climbing into the back and started to pee on the stock.
That's how my boss discovered I'm a sleep walker and to lock the van and put the keys away if we're camping out on the road 😅
It's suspected that my sleep walking is connected with my insomnia and sleep apnea, I wear a smart watch with sleep tracking information and a motion sensor and GPS and if it detects that I'm walking around while I'm actually asleep it will cause my watch to start vibrating like mad to try and wake me up, it hasn't worked so far and I don't remember anything when I've been for a sleep walk despite supposedly acting like I just got startled awake when interacted with. and being able to do more complex tasks like having full coherent conversations online, play video games, I've added code to a game I'm working on as a hobby and I once even cleaned up dishes and put them away (mostly in the wrong spots)
I was told I'd probably out grow it by my teens, I'm approaching my 30's and it's actually getting more frequent and I'm doing stranger things each time.
Having been able to document a bit of it I'd be happy to answer a couple questions about my particular sleep walking habits for a few people who are curious or have never experienced it before.
The only thing that ever happened that was like sleep walking was I "woke up", got on my phone, typed a nonsense message to my friend, and went back to sleep and didn't remember doing it when I woke up.
I’m a 16 year old female who has been sleep walking apparently. I know that as a kid my mom would walk by my room every night and I’d be sitting up in my bed staring at her 😬. A year ago, I texted someone on Instagram in my sleep, but ofc it was gibberish(just random spam and no actual words). But more recently, I have a sleep recorder and I hear my drawers opening and closing in the middle of the night. A few months ago, I was complaining to my mom that she didn’t wake me up, but she said that she thought I was awake because I left my room to go to the bathroom. A week ago, I woke up at 5 am and found that I ripped my bamboo plant out of its pot in my sleep and saw it in my hand in bed with rocks all over my bed. And a few days ago, I woke up seeing my moms number on my phone, so I said “what.” And she said “what do you mean? You called me three times 😠”. Thinking about hiding my phone at night
I was sleeping on my couch and i woke up on the other couch in a bended sitting position with my head down
First of all, im a boy, my parent said they have sleepwalked a few times, im a kid AND YET I HAVE NOT SLEEP WALKED
I once sleep walked. I unlocked my house, and went outside. Most terrifying moment in my life..
I’m simply watching this video because I just had one of my first experience with this and I’m afraid to go back to sleep.
I literally just went into the bathroom and starting taking a shower. It’s not even tomorrow, it’s like 10:50.
I woke up in the middle of it!
I'm 36 and have been a sleepwalker/talker my whole life. Im wondering if any other sleepwalkers ever have this happen, not ALL times but sometimes when I sleep walk its almost as if I'm kinda sorta half awake, it's like I dont know what im doing at the time but then halfway through or sometimes at the end of whatever it is I'm doing I kinda sorta wake up and still kinda sorta remember what it was I was doing in my sleep. It's all really hard to explain exactly but it's like half of me is awake and half of me is asleep lol. Comment if you've had this happen while sleep walking, or am I just a weird sleep Walker lol.
I have slept walked as far back as I can remember. I do remember thinking the house was fire. Or was after I was woken up? I RAN into my parents room (according to Dad) screaming "MY LIGHT IS ON FIRE !! MY LIGHT IS ON FIRE !!" My Mom is a deeeeppppp sleeper, but NOT at that moment ! UP SHE FLEW !! BTW Kids,,,if you want your Mom to wake up for any reason,,,, shouting fire DOES work ! (careful of her not calling 911 !). As a teen it continued. Years later after living on my own, a room mate I had would follow me around the house "putting back things you hid" trying not to laugh,,, yes we believed waking me up would be dangerous. Last week (have been on my own again) I suddenly found my head hurting. I had bumped into the wall,,,, where a thermostat was and broke it,,, that's what I felt. But, I remember no more than those few nano seconds. I am almost 60 so yeah, not all grow out of it. My former roommate (and long time friend of 40ish yrs) can tell one quite a few stories. Oh and I can carry on a conversation very well. Of course I don't know of it.
I once was sleepwalking and I went out the house door and their was I magior highway I was about to walk in to the highway and my mom just caught me in time thank you mom!👇
I'm a sleepwalker. I have done all sorts of weird things. I once stacked all of my books against my bedroom door, and I scratched my door over and over again freaking out my roommate at the time. A couple months ago I got out of bed and wandered around the house. My boyfriend had to guide me back to bed when he found me just standing in the kitchen staring at the wall. The next day I was exhausted. Lol I'm in my thirties and it has not slowed down.
Sounds like possessed
I has this tendency of watching UA-cam videos and writing comments while I'm sleeping.
I sleepwalk to my mum and dads room and said can I go to sleep now then when to my bed my mum and dad then asked me why did you say can you go to sleep I was just confused 😕
Almost every day (night) i am sleepwalking, many times happened when i started sleeping, sometimes I'm more then three times a night.
I sleep walk, talk and eat all the time. I drove down the road and parked my truck in the middle of the driveway of my neighbors house and it ran unti it burned all the gas up. I was in my underwear and wearing my hard hat with a beanie pulled down over my face and my neighbors freaked out and called the police. Every night I'm worried about what the hell I'll wake up to and it really scares me. Even more so now that it's linked to dementia and Parkinsons
One time I sleep walked into my sisters bathroom and woke up and was so confused and started getting mad at my sister because I thought she put me in there apparently I was huddled under my blanket and my sister tried asking if I was awake but I just replied with "where are the purple apples?" lol don't remember any of that
I woke up one morning with a mirror, a hairbrush and my reading glasses neatly arraged next to my pillow..
I would wake up with bruises on my legs and scratches on my arms...
I would wake up two days in a row with painted hands, organge or redish substance absorbed into skin, like you would get from squashing or handling beats or carrots..
Once i tried to pull a plastic bag over my sister's head 😨😨😨
I was caught going to school with my backpack in the middle of the night..
She found me move around the room and i told her i was collecting eggs and told her not to move..
My neighbours told my parents that they saw me one night walking on the fence of my balcony. To this day i cant believe it
I dont remember ever doing those things
I dont think i sleepwalk any more
Haven't slept walk in forever, last time I remember was when I was around 12; we lived in an apartment complex and I walked out of my room, unlocked the chain and dead bolt and was teetering on the top of the stairs when my mom found me. All I remember is something about wolves.
Some kid in my Boy Scout troop used to sleepwalk on camping trips. He used to peer into our tents saying "Tommy? Tommy!" (His brother's name, who was also in the troop.)
When I was young I would sleepwalk to my parents sisters room and just put my finger over my mouth and say "shhh" so creepy....
I thought you could dream while sleepwalking. Because I've only been caught sleepwalking 2 times. And the first time I woke up and ran to my moms room and sat next to her sleeping. She woke up because she heard me running. And she asked me "what are you doing?!" I answered saying "I CAN'T FIND THE PICTURE ALLISSON LOST THE PICTURE SHE LOST IT, IT FELL BEHIND THE THING!!!" She was so confused. But she responded "go to your room and turn on your night light." And said "okay" and ran back to my room almost falling from going to sleep. The next day my mom was talking to my older sister. When I went and sat next to them talking my mom asked me "hunny what were you talking about yesterday at night, a picture you lost??" I was super confused and asked her what she was talking about. She looked at my sister and my older sister screamed like "OMG WHAT THE HECK?" my mom told me she thinks I slept walked and I was so confused. Now looking back I remember one part from that night from sleepwalking, I only remember running to my moms room and sitting next to her. The second time I slept walked was the day before yesterday lmao. So this time it was my dad who caught me sleepwalking. He said he heard me scream "SI AHORITA VOY" that translates from spanish to english to "OKAY I'M GOING". Which now looking back sounds creepy. My dad said he walked into my room. And when he did he saw me cleaning the room LMAOAOAOAOA 😂😂😭. He asked me what I was doing? And I said "you told me to clean the room!!" I said it in spanish. But it was 5 in the morning. He said I kept mumbling. He said he put me back to sleep. The next day I got a flashback telling my dad something while I was sitting down in my room looking up at my dad. So I asked him if I was talking to him at night. He said "yeah you were sleepwalking" he told me everything AND I WAS DYING 😂😂😂😂💀. I don't remember anything. Who knows if that was my only time sleepwalking 😮🤔.
My girlfriend is a VERY active sleepwalker. She eats, tries to clean, turns on and off lights and appliances, sits in front of the TV with her eyes closed, tries to leave the house, talks on the phone, has active conversations with people who have no clue that she is asleep, and her personality is sometimes different when she does this. Sometimes sleeps with her eyes open, too. The more stressed she gets, the worse it is. She ends up getting bruised, scratched, and cut often during her sleepwalking and never seems to feel it.
oh my goodness thats insane!
RESET1776 thats me
When I was a kid I remember sleeping on my bed and waking up on the couch in the kitchen witch really weirded me out.
You will never know when you are sleepwalking, unless you wake up in a different place. For example, I THINK I saw my mom's boy friend (not my dad) he got up, I did not see his eyes open when he got up. He stared at me for a second, and walked to the kitchen. Probably he was sleepwalking...
Sleepwalking and talking has given me a fear for sleepovers cuz I'm afraid that I'll do something embarassing
A friend of mine said he sleepwalked out to the mailbox (one on a post in front of his house), leaned over it, and fell asleep on it. He woke up confused as hell.
Never sleep walked myself but have heard some pretty crazy stories from my friends!
I sleep eat like a maniac. I’m not a big foody when I’m awake, but when I’m sleeping…I’ll sit there and eat an entire bag of chips. The whole thing. Or every tub of leftovers, and wake up with a stomach ache. It’s ridiculous
My boyfriend woke up in the middle of the night with me staring at him like a psychopath and screamed..so i woke up also scared with my heart beating like crazy... And this moments of somnambulism happened a lot of times.. And still happening even tho I'm a grown-up..
