do you have problems sleeping? well, i should ask, do you have problems with weird sleeping mannerisms? <\/p>\n

whenever i’m stressed or tired throughout my waking day\/week – i tend to sleep talk<\/a>, sleep laugh, even sleep wave (like waving hello to someone). Regan usually awakes to find me laughing hysterically, different to my ‘normal’ laugh. he’ll find me waving at someone who’s not there, and often carrying out a one-sided conversation with god knows who. i can’t confirm that i knew what i was doing, apart from feeling drained the next morning like i didn’t get a good nights sleep. <\/p>\n

when i was a kid, my parents would think the house was haunted because they kept seeing a ‘white’ figure walking around the house at night. one night, it came into their room and they switched on the lights. it was me. in my white nightgown! so no ghost, but now we all knew that i sleptwalked<\/a>. <\/p>\n

i’ve had a few strange strange cases of sleep paralysis<\/a> in the past, where i’ve felt like i’ve been encased in concrete where i laid. the first time it happened, i thought it was dying or being beamed up by aliens \ud83d\ude1b i was lying on my sisters bedroom floor and was feeling sleepy. i didn’t feel like i was asleep though, and tried to get up to talk to my sister – but couldn’t! arms, legs, body and even my mouth felt frozen shut, and i remember trying to scream out to my sister to do something, but nothing worked. (while i’m at it, my tip to get through it : don’t panic, try to breathe and relax.) <\/p>\n

i’ve probably written about this before, but wanted to post something up again because it’s been happening (sleep talking) all this week. i guess it’s going back to work that’s doing it! what i’ve experienced is far from a sleep disorder (i think anyway), so we’re not worried. it’s just another weird thing i do …<\/p>\n

do you have stories about sleep talking, walking or anything like it? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
