I awoke in the middle of the night last night to a soaking wet pillow. Why you ask? Well, apparently in my sleep I had grabbed the glass of water sitting on my nightstand, and poured it on my bed. Since it was all next to my head, I am going to make the assumption I was trying to drink it. It is also not so crazy to think I was thirsty last night. My wife accidentally left the thermostat at 77... Unfortunately, my iphone was sitting right next to my head as I apparently fell asleep messing with it.... Everything works except for the ear speaker, which coincidentally is a crucial element of making phone calls, the primary function of an iPHONE. I am hoping functionality will return as it dries out... This isn't the first time for something like this either. I have a long history of sleep talking. I have done other things in my sleep, including a few instances of full-on sleep walking but not recently. I have actually messed with water before. I once took a glass of water, unscrewed the cap for the humidifier, and poured the water in... in an apparent attempt to refill it - all 100% unaware. Anyone else have similar experiences? It makes me slightly nervous to have a gun under the bed, although it is in a safe requiring a sequence of buttons to be pressed to open it.
I too have parasomnia - fucked up sleep. Walking, talking, mumbling, tossing and turning, etc. It's a pretty weird experience to wake up sitting on the toilet, or bumping into the wall like a zombie! But you gotta lock up that thermostat. The women in my house are under threat of bloody death for the crime of turning up the heat. PUT ON A SWEATER BITCHES, I'M HOT!!!
INCORRECT. Everyone knows the primary function of the iPhone is to say "Yah, I've got an iPhone, duhhh" and to feel hip and superior to other people.
I've been told I mumble, talk, and even cry in my sleep. Never remember a single thing so I don't know if they're just screwing with me or not.
Also, when you're watching Roger Waters playing The Wall live, it looks better through the iPhone screen than your own eyes. Seriously, I'm tired of people whipping out their phones at the movies and during concerts. You're there to watch the fucking thing, why don't you do that? Anyway, I used to talk in my sleep when I was younger.
Well after 20 minutes of blow drying and about 10 hours of waiting my highly pretentious iphone is once again fully enabling me to achieve new levels of arrogance. But really its just a phone... I have at&t and I wanted a smart phone... got it before all the droid stuff came out so it was the best choice then. I have to be sneaky, if she sees my touch it she freaks out. She is always putting on ridiculous settings though. I would say it could be stress, I have a 1 year old and my wife doesn't work and I wasn't too sure if I was going to be having a job anymore... but what I thought was going to be a lay-off may actually end up as a promotion for me... but that's a whole other story. But I've had strange sleep disturbances all my life. The scariest is the 2-3 times I've had sleep paralysis. Basically your body is in the state of paralysis which is completely normal during sleep, but your are awake... occurs right when you first wake up or as you are falling alseep. That is scary as shit. Its like it takes your brain a few extra seconds to "unlock" your movement after you are conscious. Slightly more entertaining are the pre-sleep hallucinations I get. The last one involved hundreds of spiders which I swore were dangling down off of the ceiling in the bedroom. I jumped out of bed and frantically told my wife about the spiders. She looked at me like I had 17 heads as I slowly creeped back into reality and the hallucination faded. There's actually a name for it, hypnagogic hallucinations. I don't take drugs, nor have I ever!
yea ive talked about my sleep issues before, kinda similar to shadow's, but im not drinking and walking into walls in my sleep lol. that stuff can be dangerous. like shadow i have the occasional sleep paralysis, and the feeling of something walking around in my bed. i've talked about it before. scary stuff. its usually when i sleep/nap with the lights on, laying on my back stretched out, arms to the side or crossed over my chest, and my fan off. I assume something loud wakes me up half asleep and my brain hasnt woke yet, then i start feeling, not seeing, hallucinations of things crawling around me in bed.
I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I was just pointing out how most people use iPhones Anyways, sleep paralysis is one of the better theories for explaining what people interpret as 'alien abduction' actually. As someone who has experienced it, have you had any of those feelings, or do you see how some people might see it that way?
Oh I know, I wasn't offended at all just playing along I can see how someone might interpret sleep paralysis as alien abduction... Because of the way it works (being conscious when you shouldn't be) the person could easily be in the middle of a dream (probably a nightmare). When it happened to me I just remember sheer panic. I was shaken up for several hours after waking up. I think I was a teenager last time it happened to me, so its not too frequent.

I've apparently gotten up, wandered around the house, and had (semi) intelligent conversations with people while asleep, on at least 4 occasions in my life, and have been frequently noted to have talked in my sleep. I'm just glad I've never awakened to find myself filling the gas tank of my car some morning, wearing nothing but tidy whiteys...
I've never wandered around, but I always talk in my sleep and my dreams are ridiculously vivid...I remember them clearly the next day. Such as last night...I was having an argument with my dad about leaving my wife and I was crying...I woke up after that dream with my eyes sore from the actual crying....fucked up shit.
