Living with Sleepwalking

I’ve been sleepwalking from the age of 4 yrs old. Back then when I sleepwalked, I would go downstairs & unlock the front door, then I proceeded to go outside & sit in the middle of the street & wait for a car to come by. Fortunately there wasn’t much traffic at 1-5am……..but there was one here & there. The cars that did come by would stop & yell for help, waking my family to what was happening.

Then they put more locks on the door & put them higher up, out of reach. That didn’t work either……..I just used a chair. After that…..my family took turns “on watch” until the morning had arrived. There are many more I will share with you as time goes by.

One more if you’re good……….The scariest sleepwalking I have ever experienced was went I was driving for a tow-truck company. I had just lost my business & my wife & son left & moved to Chicago where she’s from, so I was living in my tow-truck to save money. Well, I was parked in front of my sisters house sleeping between calls. About an hour & a half later, there came a call over the radio for an AAA road call (tow). After getting the info on the call, I looked up & I was not where I went to sleep at. I was 5 blocks from my sisters house AND I know how I got there. That was 15 yrs ago & I still can not recall how I got 5 blocks away from where I went to sleep.
