How many with a PDD experience sleep disorders? And how often is their sleep disrupted?

Mom said I would just scream and have night terrors when I was little.

I'm quite the action hero when I sleepwalk. I sit up abruptly! I throw off the covers! I leap out of bed! I leap into action, doing whatever it is this episode is about. Last time I tried to take down my curtains for some reason. If I'm lucky I wake up before anyone else notices.

I sleptwalked as a kid too, but nobody told me until my brother saw me doing it in my late teens. At that point I threw out all my old ratty nightgowns and invested in something a little more modest. :oops:

When I lived with a boyfriend, he really objected to me taking the duvet and throwing it on the floor. I gather the sudden cold bothered him. Wuss. :wink:
