Got Sleepwalking from my father

I inherited sleepwalking from my dad. He use to climb out winds and jump out of room and yell when some come in late at night then run back i his bed like nothing happen.

For me it is alot of acting out dreams and most of the time I am stuck in somewhere or excaping somewhere or something.

I start living with a friend at age 21. She had a loft bed for me to sleep in but is was very close to the ceiling.One night I was sleeping and she came in late and I start talking to her asking who was there and what where they doing.

A couple night later I woke up pounding on the ceiling screaming “Let me out of here”
Then a week pass and I was eat icecream and play a alien video game and I finnally went to bed. I had a dream that I was excaping a ship and had to slide under the closing door. My friend told me she heard some russling up top thing she saw me falling and half way down my body turned to a sitting position and that is how I landed.

I was still asleep sitting leaning again her bed that was undermine. I only woke up because she was saying ” sara are you ok sara are you ok” I have no idea how I fit out a 5 inch space between the ceiling and the guard rail with my big blanket wrapped around me. I have to say God is with me. I didn’t have a scrach or bruse on me. I slept on the couch from then on.

I have awaken sitting at the kitchen table with my blanket around me, awake with all the picture from the top of my computer in bed with me, I woke up trying to rip the picture above my bed off the wall, I awoke thinking someone is out to get me all the time and lock my bed room do and look out the window and the door.

I have dismantled window blinds in my sleep, I woke up with everything on the night table in my bed and me hold a lamp like I was going to fight some one with it. For me I know I shouldn’t eat before I go to sleep or play violent video games.

I will have to just trust in the Lord to keep me safe.

  • Sleep walking injury - by Gordon - (Mon, Aug 25 2008)
    I have been sleep walking on a regular basis. It started after the shock of Hurricane Ivan destroying our home and everything in it. I was in shock and my wife wound up in the hospital with a bad lung infection from living/sleeping in the rubble for 2 months before we received a FEMA trailer. [more..]

    Ok, so I know that I am a sleepwalker. I have known since I was a kid, my mom used to tell me of really weird things that I would, sometimes she would find me looking out the window in the middle of the night, or just standing in a room. I am now 27 and am still an avid sleepwalker. When I am in strange places (hotels, friends, Family, ect..) I tend to really do most of my sleep walking. [more..]
