Weird sleep behaviour

Sleep clinics say they are treating more people with sleep disorders than ever before, with more and more strange cases popping up.

Here's one:

Josh Bliszko says: "My latest trick is changing light bulbs in my sleep. And no, the light bulbs don't even require changing."

How about you, do you do weird things in your sleep?

Yes.  I talk.  I used to sleepwalk but I don't do that any more.  I laid the table with my bedspread when I was a kid and I was trying to pick flowers off the wallpaper in my bedroom.

What about you Johnny?

When I sleep, I sleep, that's all I do. People told me that I don't even move much. Once or twice I talked about something but it wasn't understandable.

Is it like you were dreaming. Wondering if you recall doing these things in your sleep.

I don't do anything weird when I sleep except I sleep with my eyes open!

I read about a girl who sleeps for like months at a time.  Gets up only to eat and use the bathroom, then goes back to sleep. 

I sometimes can sleep for days like this myself; not sure *can* is the best word for it.  But if I know I've nothing to do, nowhere to go, no way to go, going to be stuck for a week with little food, no company, etc...  I sometimes find the only way to get through it is to hibernate.  It's a slippery slope, though, and I prefer to be much more awake.

When I'm not sleeping alone, I usually fall asleep hoping that I won't, all of a sudden, start talking in my sleep and say some inappropriate things and make an awkward situation.

i sleep walk and eat while im doing it.

Here's a really weird example from a BBC website reader:

James Bath: "My wife watched me walk out of the house, get into my car and drive off. I returned 15 minutes later. It only happens occasionally and one particular time I got in the car and returned over an hour later. Having filled the car the previous day, I was able to calculate the mileage from the reset milometer. I had driven 35 miles. Nowadays my wife hides our car keys each night, I go for walks."

Hmm, it doesn't say if he looks for the car keys. I guess that's not important

:D
Who knows, I guess it's better to have a key than to break into your own car.

Here's another one, even more strange:

Patricia from France - "I have gone online and bought inappropriate dog equipment for my elderly Jack Russell terrier - two large size collars and a complete training course of slalom sticks, tunnel etc. My only clue to the fact that I had purchased anything was finding my purse and credit card beside the computer, not in their usual place. Subsequently, the arrival of the parcels from America was a complete surprise. Even more surprising was a phone call from a kennels about a puppy which I did not want but had ordered in a letter written in French and emailed in the middle of the night. My most disconcerting repeated actions have been writing letters which look OK but have bizarre and inexplicable content."
