As someone who has slept walked their entire life, he’s probably really stressed. I always slept walked the most when I was under a lot of stress. He needs to take care of himself you guys :/
This is my Cousins sleep walking story My cousin has been sleep walking for ages and it was never really a problem. But one day when he was sleeping over at his friends house and he slept walked to his friends parents room and he slept with them until the parents woke up and he wasn’t allowed to sleep in there house again
My friend in high school sleepwalked. He lived on a farm and one night he sleep walked and smashed through his bedroom window and wondered off. He woke up in the pitch black in the middle of a field bleeding from his wrists, was crazy.
I think he just meant he still has enough reactionary sense, like he's seeing giant spiders and shit but still knows to kick at them and pull covers up.
It's not sleepwalking, it's night terrors. I have had them for years, seeing the same types of things as you, as well as people. A big contributer is stress. The only two things that seem to stop them are mindfulness plus CBD or cannabis. Antihistamines also work.
Pls don't recommend cannabis for nigh terrors, it can make everything worse if people start to panic (which cannabis can cause) or even increase anxiety/paranoia. Definitely might not be for everyone. And this is coming from someone who uses it regularly for medicinal purposes.
@@SpoilerAlert__ CBD are cannabinoids. it's the psycoactive THC that doesn't help or might worsen night terrors. CBD oil for example might very much help and be far less of an issue than melatonin. In fact no issue at all. It's healthy and has no psychoactive effects.
Why does everyone think they are a doctor? Some people have really adverse psychological side effects from cannabis and it definitely doesn't work the same for everyone. It can be helpful, but its not universally true for everyone. Doctors can prescribe actual medication for night terrors and again, it doesn't work the same for everyone.
I sleptwalk once in college after a very long day and noght of partying. I ended up getting out of my bed opening up my laptop screen thinking it was the toilet bowl and peeing all over my keyboard. Never been more distraught and disgusted with myself then when I woke up and figured out what I had done.
My antipsychotics make me sleep until like three in the afternoon even if I go to bed at 9pm... but I can’t just not take them so I’m either perpetually exhausted, or literally psychotic. Lovely
Sleepwalking is terrifying! I’ve only done it one time! I was 14, at the time... My family and I were vacationing and we were driving up the coast. We stayed in this little motel and I woke up in the middle of the night in the parking lot with a blanket wrapped around me. I was pretty far from the room and in the middle of a bunch of cars. I immediately ran back and banged on the door-my dad opened it and said the door was locked and the latch was locked, too.. so how did I get outside and lock myself out like that? It’s a shudder inducing thought. I’m convinced (regardless of everyone saying they didn’t) that someone re-latched it, just by habit maybe.
Thank you Ethan and Hila, it feels like you guys are my friends even though I feel lonely. Just watching you all laugh together makes me forget about my pain inside.
My brother's childhood friend was a sleepwalker. His dad was a real asshat and really tough on him when it came to grades, football, etc... He was a football coach on their team and just a super strict father. Stress is definitely a connection for a lot of people. The poor boy was under so much stress he was sleepwalking a lot. The family had a pool and one time he actually got out of the house and through the gate and near the pool. Luckily someone woke up and found him before he got into the pool and drowned. It was a real problem for him. Soo scary.
I took a melatonin when I was a teenager on a road trip with my parents and brother. We were at the hotel with two queen beds, my mom and dad in one and my brother and I in the other. The next thing I remember is giant white alligators on the floor. I woke up screaming, and had jumped from our bed over the "alligators" into my parents bed. Never had another incident like that in my life
When I was young I used to sleep walk. I couldn’t tell dreams from reality. They usually would start with me laying in bed trying to sleep. Then I would start having vivid nightmares. So being young and confused. I though I was actually awake. My mom told me a few times I tried to go outside in the middle of the night. I eventually stopped sleepwalking and when I was in HS I started having a lot of sleep paralysis. Thankful now in my 30s. I don’t experience any of that. I do want to say all of this was do to being stressed and tired.
I had a roommate that had night terrors like this, he would run down the hall screaming occasionally. He tore the blinds apart thinking there were police outside. It was a little spooky
My cousins used to stay in our house every now and then so one night I decided not to sleep and saw my cousin coming out of his room then he went to the kitchen and grabbed an empty glass I was like sure maybe he is going to get some water but then he literally tried to get out of the house in the middle of night with an empty glass of water I tried to stop him but when he turned around and looked at me I could tell he’s not fully awake and it scared the s out of me Later on he told me that in his dream it was afternoon and he was asked to get a cup of tea for his mom He’s famous for his sleep walking cuz one time apparently he had walked around the house looking for his true love while calling her name out loud (he was 11 or something when he did that)
I get stuck in half dreams too, saw a goddamn burglar coming through our balcony window this morning, only to wake up and remember that we live on the 4th floor. But goddamn I looked straight at the same balcony door
I sleep walk/talk two-four times a week. Went to see a doctor for this and they said to never strap yourself down to anything when sleeping. It is dangerous apparently.
This reminds me of in my teen years when I would punch and yell in my sleep. One night I thought I was fighting someone, and I threw the hardest punch I could in my sleep. It directly connected to my boyfriend's jaw, giving him swelling and redness in that area, and made my boyfriend angry at me until I explained what had happened. I think he slept on the couch for a while until my sleep became more calm.
Melatonin helped my son with his sleep walking. Yea it makes you groggy but more time that you take it, the more the groggy feeling goes away. Also try working out right before bed, take a shower and lay down. It will decrease the built up energy. Hope you get those under control.
My younger brother would sleepwalk. One night my older brother, my cousin, and I were playing video games. My younger brother wakes up and walks into the living room. He started pacing in front of the TV. We were all asking him to move and finally he turns to us and with his eyes still partially closed he just screams, "POOP YOU!" and then he went back to bed. It was hilarious.
My girl says I sometimes talk and cry about my experiences during combat while I was in the military during my sleep. It's not frequent, but I have caught myself jolting awake with tears in my eyes and scaring the hell out of her from the sudden movement. Humans are weird, man.
I have this problem, it's always spiders. A large black spider will be slowly descending onto me from the ceiling. It feels completely real and as if I'm awake. I'll also see my room exactly how it is, but it looks like all the windows and doors have been removed. I will jump out of bed because of the spider and go to a solid wall thinking that's where the door should be and not be able to get out. I've clawed at blinds, and on rare occasions ended up outside. It's awful. It's gotten better with time, but in times of stress---oy.
I have those exact same hallucinations in bed. It usually involves some kind of large insect and incorporates touch perception as well as vision, so I can literally feel a small insect crawling on my skin.
I’ve been having really weird experiences every night EXACTLY like this. I wake up and think I see spiders in my bed, shoot out of my bed, and stare at it until it disappears. It looks like it’s actually there. It used to be human like visions but luckily it moved to insects. One last problem, is that I wake up with all my lights on... like the past 4 nights I’ve been sleepwalk turning my lights on. So glad I’m not the only one
That’s terrifying. My brother does the same kind of thing but he doesn’t remember it in the morning. Every single time he’ll look at me and I’ll ask him what he sees and he always see ME as some type of monster or a monster above me then in the morning he’ll forget he even had the conversation. Creepy stuff
I’ve had a couple night terrors when I was around the age of 12. The worse one I had Projectile vomited about 5 metres down the hallway all over the wall. My parents ended up taking me to the hospital because they thought I was possessed. They’ve told me it was one of the scariest experiences they’ve had.
A friend of mine has a sleep walking story. He went to bed after being at the Fair, he was 14-15. His GF was sleeping with him in his parents house, its the summer btw. He told me he ate a shit ton of fair food and he thinks it contributed to him sleep walking, as well as the fact that he was under severe stress because she skipped her Period. His dad was still awake, he saw him walk out of the bedroom and walked down the hall to the kitchen where his dad was. His dad was making a midnight snack or whatever, and asked him if he wanted anything, and he just said, "i wont be a bad father." then this is where things get really weird. My friend just gets down on his knees and is on the floor. His dad thought he was actually on drugs, he asked him whats going on, and he just says, "whered my son go!?" like, screaming. His dad grabs him and shakes him, and he wakes up. She wasnt pregnant btw lol hes 19 now and his GF is ACTUALLY pregnant and he seems to be handling it well. Apparently thats the only time hes ever slept walked. He told me, from memory, he remembered having a heartfelt talk with his dad in his sleep about his kid, and that he had seen his baby in his dream, other than that he doesn't remember much of anything. Weird shit. I never slept walked in my life personally.
I was prescribed melatonin for my night terrors bc i had it terrible when i was a kid. You can try a lower dose if you feel groggy. It will give you vivid dreams, but your body adjusts if you take it consistently
Regarding melatonin, if you buy bigger tablets, you shouldn't take the whole tablet, as that's what makes you groggy. Take 1/3rd or 1/4th of a tablet instead, as that's a more realistic dosage for people who aren't actual insomniacs, and it still works! Also makes the whole bottle last longer (melatonin is kinda expensive).
Most sleepwalking happens during the deepest part of sleep. People who can remember their dreams or say they dream every night, are usually waking just after the deepest part of sleep...when we dream...Things I've heard from researchers don't come after me...look it up for yourself...
I have horrible sleep paralysis and I can sometimes muster up enough strength to call out for help and my gf will wake me up. She hates it but I'm just glad she's there so she can nudge me out of that hell.
I used to have night terrors as a kid and I would roam up and down the hallway thinking I was lost in a giant warehouse. Then I would finally go into my parents room, and when my mum would try to snap me out of it I would just piss my pants standing there.
I have this same issue, except I don’t see anything strange. I’ll literally jump up from my bed convincing myself I’m at work during a rush, and start running out of the room. I honestly think it has something to do with my anxiety, or maybe I overworked because this doesn’t happen if I have a few days off.
I’m surprised they didn’t try any PTSD medications or sleep meds to stop the sleepwalking. Something to put you in a really deep sleep or a PTSD med that stops nightmares.
I slept walk for awhile when I was around 20 because I was going through something very stressful. My first nightmare happened when I was in 5th grade and I was, absolutely, terrified. I have had nightmares since and now I am just used to it. It is the same as fighting "demons". I've died a couple of times which was, eerily, very comforting. Sometimes my dog has a double but it isn't him and so I have to stab him but he never goes away. It's just constant stabbing of this thing that doesn't belong in my home that looks like my dog. I get sleep paralysis when I nap but it feels like it lasts forever because it is like I am in and out of it. I have been having a couple of those at night which used to only happen when I nap and NOW it is like that mixed with freaking nested dreams and false awakenings. I, also, sometimes do this thing where my arms are in the air and I'm like... Scratching/ tickling them. Either way, I just call all of it nightmares and I don't think anyone really understands how annoying they are now. I wish it would just be like me going to the beach or something.
According to my older brother, one time I sleep walked while we were on vacation. This was so long ago, I was about 8. We were at a small timeshare house in florida. It was about 2am and I apparently was running to the balcony door where my brother caught me. He asked me what I was doing and I didn’t even look at him. He just walked me back to bed. The next year on the same vacation, we had to share a bed, and 3 separate times during the night, I violently kicked him with both feet over and over. I remember waking up during the 3rd time feeling bad lol. Nowadays, all i do is make weird humming noises when I sleep.
imagine having a child, loving them so much that you decide to go on vacation. Then on vacation, your child becomes a hell monster at night and attempts to attack your other child.
I remember one time I was having a sleepover with my cousin and when we woke up after my bro started sleep walking *grabs tv remote turns on tv as he walks out the room and tried run out the house
I've had something similar to that but not as bad or scary. I called them "waking dreams" or "awake dreams" or something like that. I'm pretty much half asleep, seems like I'm awake but I'm somewhat sleeping. Enough to hallucinate bugs crawling in my bed. Not huge spiders but like I've had ones with lice, bed bugs, lots of ticks crawling around, and just bugs occasionally crawling on my bed and I very much dislike them.
OMG this made me feel so much better because I have the SAME spider hallucinations, and I even sprained my foot two years ago after waking up, seeing the spiders and running, spilling my water on the floor then slipping on the water and running my foot into a cabinet LOL but this makes me feel so much better that I'm not alone in experiencing this!
i got one for you. i took some prescription sleeping pills, hung myself while sleep walking, my gf found me and i was blue, she called 911, slammed on my chest until i started breathing again, broke my rib. then i woke up in the ICU.
For melatonin I found that most pills or gummies an average dose is like 3mg I think and I’ve found that 1mg really does the trick no grogginess in the morning
Not sure if it helps with sleep walking, but melatonin and sleeping on my side has helped me reduce sleep paralysis some. Also, getting a pet helped me a lot.
Dan !!!! Put some bin liners or some plastic tarp around your bed and out water on it! Your body should wake you up immediately or just make you retreat. I used to suffer with sleep walking this trick worked perfectly for me
If you play video games in the evening before you go to bed this will happen. You really have to wind down in the evening with low lights, no screens and read a book.
I used half wake up in the middle of the night to see giant spiders on the ceiling and I would just freeze staring at them, like Ian said for like 20 seconds straight, some scary shit.
The closest thing I do is that I talk and cry in my sleep whenever I have dreams reliving tramautic experiences. I also get sleep paralysis like twice a year, maybe Ian should look into that phenomenon bc it could explain his visual hallucinations Oh! Also, I have been having less crying/more restful sleep ever since I started taking my anti anxiety before I sleep. I would genuinely try to talk to a specialist again, because that doesn't feel like an appropriate response from a doctor :(
Hey ian i have had problems sleeping all my life. Diet and terapy fixed my issues 🙂 i once saw a guy get terapy who had night terrors, and he stsrted open up about his hatred for his father, and started sleeping much better
Sounds like night terrors to me I have night terrors they’re brutal ice cream like I’m getting murdered I’m a grown ass man and they scare the shit out of me because I don’t really remember them it’s been so bad that my neighbors have called the police because they thought I was being murdered that was an interesting conversation with the Fargo Police Department
My friend sleep walked and holy crap I couldn't date a sleep walker now.. he woke up after shooting his gun multiple times at the wall, thankfully nobody got shot but he had to lock his guns up lol
all i know is even if he needed some sort of extra bondage theres no shame, well imo because he didn't choose to have these sleepwalking experiences, hes just there for the fricking ride dude. i tip my beanie to this young man and wish good health and dude its not shameful if you need to alter how you stay secured to your bed at night. people need different shit and all we can do i learn and evolve from it. peace
Bruh, I once punched the wall real hard while sleeping, I've kicked my family members out of bed and I've sometimes woken up screaming or talking. It's like acting out your dreams and it's pretty fucked up. However it hasn't happened in a while now but it's creepy. I'm actually glad to hear someone else talk about this because everytime I tell somebody about it, they can't relate 😂
I had a crazy ex who in his sleep grabbed my head and head butted with full force, then blamed it on being a nightmare, when really he was set off that anyone would text me while we were asleep... Cuz oh gosh, I must be a cheater if I get a random text at night. Ugh, not saying Ian is crazy, his is legit and scary.
my youngest brother slept walked and had night terrors so i feel ya on some aspect. for a long time and sometimes it was different then the last if that makes sense. sort of like you seeing big spiders, then seeing big snakes you should get cameras up evrn if its cheap cameras. just to see what it is you're up to walking around 😂✌ wish you good health and papa bless
Today's fact: In October 2015, United Airlines made a man with Cerebral Palsy crawl off one of its flights. The flight attendants just watched as he struggled.
In my heavy drinking days I sleep walked and pissed on many a floors. first night I hooked up with my ex girlfriend I hosed down her laundry basket and then was sitting up on her bed sleep talking about 2 friends of mine that were bringing me food lol
Sounds like Ian picked a keeper!
Sounds like Ian's wife picked a psycho.
This was the first comment i seen before watching this and i swear i thought you were talking about a booger 😂
As someone who has slept walked their entire life, he’s probably really stressed. I always slept walked the most when I was under a lot of stress. He needs to take care of himself you guys :/
GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! I want to cut my toe nails... NEVER! I am the feet UA-camr. Thanks for being a fan, dear auf
@@AxxLAfriku lmao
there are multiple causes for sleep walking, i’m sure ian can take care of himself
Being around Ethan and his carer so much made Ian want a carer for himself. How sweet Ethan
This is my Cousins sleep walking story
My cousin has been sleep walking for ages and it was never really a problem. But one day when he was sleeping over at his friends house and he slept walked to his friends parents room and he slept with them until the parents woke up and he wasn’t allowed to sleep in there house again
lol

Damn, guess I'm lucky this hasn't happened to me

Oh my God. I would have to go to therapy to get over that embarrassment

How tf do ppl not wake up during something like that
“I have enough sense” “I see giant spiders” -.-
I think he just meant he still has enough reactionary sense, like he's seeing giant spiders and shit but still knows to kick at them and pull covers up.

Your roommate probably should stop growing weed. That's bad for mental health.
@@FakeLeffty He wasn't even the pothead out of those roommates, and it was Colorado so no one grew any, you just bought it.
@@ian2000 You can grow weed without using it, also just because he did not tell you anything about it, doesn't mean he did not grow it.

He’s famous for his sleep walking cuz one time apparently he had walked around the house looking for his true love while calling her name out loud (he was 11 or something when he did that)
He’s having hynogogic hallucinations. A state between sleeping and waking. A common thing is to wake up paranoid and seeing spiders.
The balcony part is horrifying

I have horrible sleep paralysis and I can sometimes muster up enough strength to call out for help and my gf will wake me up. She hates it but I'm just glad she's there so she can nudge me out of that hell.
Lazy people should just work out in their sleep, they haven't even woke up yet and they've burned 1000 calories.
omg that would be awesome
That would be hilarious
I used to have night terrors as a kid and I would roam up and down the hallway thinking I was lost in a giant warehouse. Then I would finally go into my parents room, and when my mum would try to snap me out of it I would just piss my pants standing there.
I have this same issue, except I don’t see anything strange. I’ll literally jump up from my bed convincing myself I’m at work during a rush, and start running out of the room. I honestly think it has something to do with my anxiety, or maybe I overworked because this doesn’t happen if I have a few days off.
I’m surprised they didn’t try any PTSD medications or sleep meds to stop the sleepwalking. Something to put you in a really deep sleep or a PTSD med that stops nightmares.
I slept walk for awhile when I was around 20 because I was going through something very stressful. My first nightmare happened when I was in 5th grade and I was, absolutely, terrified. I have had nightmares since and now I am just used to it. It is the same as fighting "demons".
I've died a couple of times which was, eerily, very comforting. Sometimes my dog has a double but it isn't him and so I have to stab him but he never goes away. It's just constant stabbing of this thing that doesn't belong in my home that looks like my dog.
I get sleep paralysis when I nap but it feels like it lasts forever because it is like I am in and out of it. I have been having a couple of those at night which used to only happen when I nap and NOW it is like that mixed with freaking nested dreams and false awakenings.
I, also, sometimes do this thing where my arms are in the air and I'm like... Scratching/ tickling them. Either way, I just call all of it nightmares and I don't think anyone really understands how annoying they are now. I wish it would just be like me going to the beach or something.
According to my older brother, one time I sleep walked while we were on vacation. This was so long ago, I was about 8. We were at a small timeshare house in florida. It was about 2am and I apparently was running to the balcony door where my brother caught me. He asked me what I was doing and I didn’t even look at him. He just walked me back to bed. The next year on the same vacation, we had to share a bed, and 3 separate times during the night, I violently kicked him with both feet over and over. I remember waking up during the 3rd time feeling bad lol. Nowadays, all i do is make weird humming noises when I sleep.
imagine having a child, loving them so much that you decide to go on vacation. Then on vacation, your child becomes a hell monster at night and attempts to attack your other child.
I remember one time I was having a sleepover with my cousin and when we woke up after my bro started sleep walking *grabs tv remote turns on tv as he walks out the room and tried run out the house
I've had something similar to that but not as bad or scary. I called them "waking dreams" or "awake dreams" or something like that. I'm pretty much half asleep, seems like I'm awake but I'm somewhat sleeping. Enough to hallucinate bugs crawling in my bed. Not huge spiders but like I've had ones with lice, bed bugs, lots of ticks crawling around, and just bugs occasionally crawling on my bed and I very much dislike them.
I’d totally get the wrong idea if someone was buckled to the bed honestly am I not the only one or a I just dirty minded
OMG this made me feel so much better because I have the SAME spider hallucinations, and I even sprained my foot two years ago after waking up, seeing the spiders and running, spilling my water on the floor then slipping on the water and running my foot into a cabinet LOL but this makes me feel so much better that I'm not alone in experiencing this!
I have dreams where I'm in a room full of snakes but im not rlly scared of them, like the scene from the Craft.
i got one for you. i took some prescription sleeping pills, hung myself while sleep walking, my gf found me and i was blue, she called 911, slammed on my chest until i started breathing again, broke my rib.
then i woke up in the ICU.
For melatonin I found that most pills or gummies an average dose is like 3mg I think and I’ve found that 1mg really does the trick no grogginess in the morning
Not sure if it helps with sleep walking, but melatonin and sleeping on my side has helped me reduce sleep paralysis some. Also, getting a pet helped me a lot.
Dan !!!! Put some bin liners or some plastic tarp around your bed and out water on it! Your body should wake you up immediately or just make you retreat. I used to suffer with sleep walking this trick worked perfectly for me
If you play video games in the evening before you go to bed this will happen. You really have to wind down in the evening with low lights, no screens and read a book.
I used half wake up in the middle of the night to see giant spiders on the ceiling and I would just freeze staring at them, like Ian said for like 20 seconds straight, some scary shit.
My sister once woke up driving down the road... she started hiding her car keys after that
Aw poor guy
Astral projection.....
The closest thing I do is that I talk and cry in my sleep whenever I have dreams reliving tramautic experiences. I also get sleep paralysis like twice a year, maybe Ian should look into that phenomenon bc it could explain his visual hallucinations
Oh! Also, I have been having less crying/more restful sleep ever since I started taking my anti anxiety before I sleep. I would genuinely try to talk to a specialist again, because that doesn't feel like an appropriate response from a doctor :(
*searches people sleeping walking*
Man I love Mike Birbiglia
This sounds fucking scary.. I hope his sleepwalking gets better soon
I've been worried about Ian for a while.
I slept walk as a kid and in my adult life had a weird dream I walked down the apartment hall naked and my door was unlocked when I woke up lol
Try a hypnotists for your sleep issues 🕷🐍👌
Sleepwalking in adults is almost always induced by high stress !
Hey ian i have had problems sleeping all my life. Diet and terapy fixed my issues 🙂 i once saw a guy get terapy who had night terrors, and he stsrted open up about his hatred for his father, and started sleeping much better
This reminds me of mike birbiglia’s sleepwalking special.
It’s called demons bro
Just watching this now, Ian gets more and more interesting. Though the sleep walking is a bit of a worry.
I can't take Melatonin because it gives me nightmares
Sounds like night terrors to me I have night terrors they’re brutal ice cream like I’m getting murdered I’m a grown ass man and they scare the shit out of me because I don’t really remember them it’s been so bad that my neighbors have called the police because they thought I was being murdered that was an interesting conversation with the Fargo Police Department
"Ice cream like I'm getting murdered" hahaha
My man ethan 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I was sleptwalked and woke up naked on my hallway near the front door. Dont remember anything, I know i went to bed wearing pyjamas!!
My friend sleep walked and holy crap I couldn't date a sleep walker now.. he woke up after shooting his gun multiple times at the wall, thankfully nobody got shot but he had to lock his guns up lol
Ian probably killed someone and he's not sure if he done it
all i know is even if he needed some sort of extra bondage theres no shame, well imo because he didn't choose to have these sleepwalking experiences, hes just there for the fricking ride dude. i tip my beanie to this young man and wish good health and dude its not shameful if you need to alter how you stay secured to your bed at night. people need different shit and all we can do i learn and evolve from it. peace
I feel bad for him
try 5htp or magnesium, rite now magnesium is working for me
Bruh, I once punched the wall real hard while sleeping, I've kicked my family members out of bed and I've sometimes woken up screaming or talking. It's like acting out your dreams and it's pretty fucked up. However it hasn't happened in a while now but it's creepy. I'm actually glad to hear someone else talk about this because everytime I tell somebody about it, they can't relate 😂
I had a crazy ex who in his sleep grabbed my head and head butted with full force, then blamed it on being a nightmare, when really he was set off that anyone would text me while we were asleep... Cuz oh gosh, I must be a cheater if I get a random text at night. Ugh, not saying Ian is crazy, his is legit and scary.
my youngest brother slept walked and had night terrors so i feel ya on some aspect. for a long time and sometimes it was different then the last if that makes sense. sort of like you seeing big spiders, then seeing big snakes you should get cameras up evrn if its cheap cameras. just to see what it is you're up to walking around 😂✌ wish you good health and papa bless
Try reading a dream lexicon, shadow work and lucid dreaming!
And maby cbd
I hope Sam's doing okay after Ian was incinerated. Someone should send AI Ian to console her.
use an electric dog collar
I have night terrors and sleepwalk and just last night sleptwalk
Do a video on it
Today's fact: In October 2015, United Airlines made a man with Cerebral Palsy crawl off one of its flights. The flight attendants just watched as he struggled.
In my heavy drinking days I sleep walked and pissed on many a floors. first night I hooked up with my ex girlfriend I hosed down her laundry basket and then was sitting up on her bed sleep talking about 2 friends of mine that were bringing me food lol
Bruh melatonin gives me mad nightmares
Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️ Spiders and snakes please leave Ian alone
Been there I also sleep walk
he gotta be locked in there by the woman
in just pack a bowl before bed :)
