... for one night. The video of what happens should look somewhat like this. Except, I'm a little bit younger than that. Do you feel sorry for my wife yet? It's a great way to work out.

In all seriousness I was just researching my sleep disorder and found the video kind of funny. Figured if anyone else had a sadistic sense of humor, they might be here.

Thankfully, I am not that bad. My now wife got to witness some very odd behavior from me after eating roasted garlic, roasted red peppers and goat cheese at the same time. I essentially went all WWE on her, even trying to drop a big elbow. Took a while to figure out, since I don't remember it at all, and I don't eat that combo often (haven't since we figured it out).

My younger brother has been known to carry on conversations in his sleep (you only hear one side so it's pretty funny) and also to sleepwalk. My older brother snores like a buzz saw, has ever since we were kids, we are talking loud enough that no one else can sleep. I seem to sleep pretty normally. In fact, other than the whole race car thing I am nowhere near as weird as the others. I guess I'm the black sheep of the fambly.

You certainly know how to pick a thread title guaranteed to get clicked.

My wife says I snore pretty bad. I told her to prove it. I guess I better be on the look out for the cameras.

Yea, we are going to pick a night and set up an IR lamp. It should be very interesting. Oddly enough, it starts to happen right after I fall asleep which is not when REM is supposed to happen. Still trying to figure out how my brain works.

I sleep walk, talk, kick, punch, roll, sit up, and throw things (tv remote). No more weapons allowed in the room.

Sounds delicious.

My wife just watched it. She laughed and said that's exactly what I do. She just said that I last longer.

Yes. When I do this, I will post the video.

see... I am a light sleeper and I know I don't snore that often... and when I do, I usually wake myself up.

I would never get a good nights sleep with somebody like you around

I've been wanting to do this for years. My wife does all kinds of weird stuff, usually extending one of her arms fully towards the ceiling...and then scratching it lightly with the other hand. It's bizarre. Comedy gold when you're awake, a good reason to murder someone in their sleep when you're trying to catch some shut-eye before getting up early.

My girlfriend talks in her sleep, but in a very odd way. It sounds like English in that the word shapes sound familiar, but it's impossible to decipher what she's actually saying. It's kind of like listening through a thin wall to someone talking on the phone.

This is an improvement though. When she was younger she was much more active in her sleep. I vividly recall having her over one weekend while the rest of my family was out of town. We dozed off watching a movie, and I woke up to her running out of the room. I chased her out of the house, up the driveway and about 100 yards down the street, full sprint. She was in shoes and I wasn't. I still have a pebble embedded in my heel from that.

That's all right - I get to tell embarrassing sleep walking stories about her, and she gets to tell embarrassing drunk stories about me.

Wow, I was at the sleep lab last night. Not that bad thank goodness.

I've been known to clear my girlfriend out from in front of the net before in the middle of my sleep. She'll wake me up and it takes me a good 30 seconds before I realize I'm not playing hockey.

I had a friend who said he was having a dream where a chinese guy was poking him with a sword and so he choked him. He actually choked the E36 M3 out of his wife. They are still married. It makes one wonder about if you could get away with ... ... ...

My wife has learned to shield herself along with me from my own damage path. There are sometimes unfortunate incidents that occur from time to time do to the fact that I get a good upper body workout every time I go to bed.

A few months ago, I started shifting around and she reached over to hold me still. I apparently grabbed her arm, pulling her towards me and slapped the E36 M3 out of her. She wasn't happy, but she was very understanding.

... Then there was that time I mounted her...

Well before I had time to put the camera in, I've been prescribed drugs.

Just what I need. More anticonvulsants. As long as it works, I guess. It would sure be a weight off my shoulders if Mrs. Sperlo wasn't waking up to hold me down ever couple of hours and there is no chance of her getting hurt.
