Night before last I remember sleeping so well! I woke up and saw the sunshine beaming in through the window, and in my head was singing, “Here comes the sun”. It was just such a nice feeling to be well rested and see the sun which has been hiding lately! Last night was a bit stranger. Floyd called me this morning to say I was acting “really weird last night”. Apparently, around 11pm, I told him I heard music and pointed toward the wall. He got up in a fluster and started trying to figure out what I was talking about. I have ZERO recollection of any of this! haha! Then at 2 a.m., I was so uncomfortable, I went downstairs to “pump”. That has never happened before. I went back to bed a half-hour later, after Floyd had come downstairs to check on me after he noticed I wasn’t in bed anymore. I woke up feeling completely worn out (and still do).
It got me thinking about how sleep is such a strange thing. I know I have a history of being a tooth grinder in my sleep, too, but never realize I’m doing it when I’m doing it. A lot of snorers don’t realize they’re snoring when they are, either (although, thankfully, I have never been much of a snorer). I’ve always thought people who observe those sleep studies must get a real kick out of all the strange things people do while they’re totally unaware of it. At least most of the time, we wake up feeling much better than when we conked out–regardless of all the strange things that may have happened in our dreams or otherwise!

I’ve been known to sleep walk. I haven’t done it recently, but I used to do it A LOT! The weird thing is, I remember it about 95% of the time, but while I’m doing it, it seems like the right thing to do, and then I wake up feeling ridiculous. My friends have told me some funny stories of me sleep walking that I don’t remember though, and that’s a little unnerving!
The worst was back when I was a waitress and I would be dreaming that I was still at work, so I’d get up out of bed MULTIPLE times a night, trying to get everyone’s food and drinks out! After about 10 times of getting out of bed, I would kind of snap out of it and tell myself ‘I’m NOT at work, I’m sleeping!’ and that was usually enough to get my subconscious on a new topic/dream! But I would wake up exhausted.
That is too funny! Glad you’ve not tried to drive or do anything else crazy in your sleep walk state!
After our son was born, I would have a recurring dream that he was under our covers or on the floor (even though he was sleeping safely in his crib). At least once a week, if not more, I would wake up my husband in a panic! Then I would get mad at him when he would tell me I was dreaming. Unfortunately this went on for over a year! I hope your strange sleep habits are short-lived!
