I'm not really a sleeptalker (I do it occasionally) but I have woke up standing up or sitting on the edge of the bed. I also get something similar to night terrors only not as traumatic. One of my gfs calls those episodes, "antics". LOL. My son also sleepwalks. He'll climb down from his bunkbed and walk around the house in his sleep. He also sleeptalks on occasion.

my hubby sometimes kicks in his sleep.... he says after that in his dream he is either getting ready to kick someone or he playing a game of some sort... lol

lol speaking of kicking, Charles did that last night, I think it was more like kneeling not kicking though, it woke me up

i'm just trying to get you back on your side of the bed

that wasn't polite. You woke me up and you hurt wifey. Now I need revenge muahahaha

Gary talks in his sleep, not real often, more so when he's very tired. Usually he is saying some very naughty words He tells me he must be talking to the guys in work haha

He's also a very restless sleeper, kicks me, hits me sometimes but its the snoring that is the worse!!!!!!!!

I am a sleep mumbler. James will sometimes talk in his sleep, its great .. I ask him all sorts of questions, nothing serious of course and treat it as a bit of fun. The other night I woke up with the light on, apparently, James had been dreaming that I asked him to turn on the light so I could see a chest I was looting (wow reference) so he did.

Sleepwalking and talking in your sleep is perfectly normal, and usually runs in families. Some people also can get violent in their sleep, if they are prone to nightmares. My hubby used to get really bad nightmares and would sometimes thrash about, but not very much anymore.

Here's some info on sleepwalking http://www.crescentlife.com/disorders/sleepwalking.htm

Basically it is caused because some people don't have the brain chemical that causes us to be "paralyzed" while we sleep. The majority of the population, when we sleep we don't move around much. For a small percentage, they move around a little or a lot, and some can get up and go for a jog, or a drive around the block, or a snack in the kitchen.

I recall an episode of Mad About You when Paul went to a sleep clinic because he wasn't sleeping well, and the clinic couldn't find anything wrong with him, and he said it was the best night's sleep he'd had in years. So the following night both he and Jamie spent the night being observed in the clinic and it turned out that she was thrashing about so much in her sleep that she was beating Paul up every night, which is why he wasn't sleeping!

A friend of mine used to sleepwalk a lot when she was a kid, one time she got up and went outside in her nightgown in the middle of winter. Her parents had to start locking and blocking the door so she couldn't get out.

My brother-in-law walks in his sleep quite a lot, mostly when he's been drinking, but even sometimes when he's sober. He wanders around the house, and has even gone outside. His son (my nephew) also walks in his sleep, so my sister had to get some of those toddler safety door knob thingies so that he can't turn the knob to get out.

I used to walk in my sleep sometimes too, but I don't think I've done it in a long time. I think it stopped after puberty.

I think the not remembering part is pretty normal.

I've been told I talk in my sleep but I've been told I laugh and crack up in my sleep more than I talk.

Sometimes I'll be laughing so hard while sleeping that it will wake up former roommates and they'll come check on me and I'm asleep cracking up. That must be pretty funny to them. I just wish I could remember what is so funny in my dreams.
