Sleep behaviour

Post Reply New Topic

My cousin has sleep walked since infancy, he recently wondered out into the street mumbling and scared the neighbours. My father sleep walked and urinated on the television once and went back to bed, my mother thought it was hillarious, but then she let us strip off and have garden mud/snow fights until it lost its appeal (about seven.) I sleep shout, wonder off to get food, wake up with my head at the opposite end of the bed, experience terrors related to metamorphosis phobia, injections, perfectionism, persecution ec, wake up occasionally and can't move, see white and have generally cycled through stints of insomnia over the years.

Sleep issues are common in the general population, so some here may experience sleep disturbance, if purely due to sensory issues, tics, habits, restless legs! ec. Do you have any sleep related oddities?

My mom watered the ground, have me and my brother paintbrushes, and let us paint ourselves head to toe (wearing underwear) with mud. I have some great pictures of us totally covered in mud, looking like "mud monsters"


I can only recall sleep walking once. I woke up and I was standing in the living room, by the fish. This was when I was really small though, maybe seven or so.

Relished those mud splattering games! Also have photographs and it looked like alot of fun, enjoyed that but not many other tactile sensations. Very fussy with sticky stuff on hands, dirt however was fine - Took me to a christening at four, dissapeared for a while, mother came looking and found me covered in mud "FROG MUMMY! Wheresitgone."
