Sleepwalking and restless sleep.

Oh, yikes! Talk about bringing back memories. I had a brush with sleepwalking around a year or two ago and it was an absolute nightmare. Lock all the doors to your bedroom, first off, and take anything out of there that you could cause damage with. Put a padlock on there if you've got to and give your boyfriend the key so you don't just sleepwalk to its location to retrieve it. If the phone is in your room, it also might be worth unplugging it. I know this sounds wickedly drastic but if you nearly lit up you could seriously hurt yourself. It took me waking up in the shower with it running to take the same step. Death by drowning in the shower = lame.

I'm sure your doctor will have some ideas on why and perscribe you a sleeping pill for a week, at the very least, so you restabilize. In the mean time, have you changed your diet recently, or had anything traumatic happen? You'd be surprised what can mess up a person's body. If you've got an allergy to something it could be doing all this! Crazy, yeah? Retrace your steps. It very well could solve the problem.

Glad to know I'm not the only one, thing is I do lock my door when I sleep because I worry about people comming in...but I must unlock it to get out.

After this morning I told my flatmate cause I was really shaken by it and he said he is going to confiscate all my lighters and things before I sleep just to make sure.

I haven't really had much stress other than university work and even that isn't bad. As for my diet I've just started to eat a little healthier and cut out all the chocolate I eat...

I wouldn't be shocked if you did. I mean, you were more'n able to latch onto a fag and a lighter, why not turn a doorknob? Good thing about ditching those for the night. Make sure you alert as many people as possible and see if there isn't another way to reinforce the door that makes it a little more tricky to get out. Demand your boyfriend rig up a trap if he really loves you?


I had to have a giggle over that. It'd be ironic if eating healthier caused you to sleep walk, wouldn't it? Seriously though, healthier eating is great, but you couldn't possibly have somehow given yourself a vitamin deficiency, could you? I know when I started dieting and neglected a multi-vitamin I had some really scary side effects. (Vitamin B, for reference. Jittery, wired, couldn't get to sleep for more than an hour at a time, etc.) Just a thought!
