New studies on "sexy" sleep disorder

Brannigan: Watch out! I happen to have a very SEXY sleeping disorder. What do I call it, Kif?
Kif: *sigh* sexsomnia, sir.

I'm calling bullsh*t on this one. "I'm sorry, Your Honour, I have this condition that makes me have sex while I'm sleeping. Hell, I barely even heard her yelling, I was sleeping so deeply."
Tell someone you love them, because life is short. But holler it at them in German, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
Hell, why not? People do a lot of stuff while they're sleeping.

I have a friend who does this all the time, or so he says.

Doesn't seem that unbelievable. If someone can get out of bed, walk to the corner store and eat a twinkie in their sleep I can see how this is possible.

My wife initiated an "interlude" with me a couple of years ago and I thought she was awake. If I had known she was asleep at the time...
I don't know if I would have done anything different. Nothing untoward has happened since then.

People act out routines when they sleep-act. I hope sex never becomes so by-the-numbers that I start doing it in my sleep, interchangeably with making a sandwich and cleaning the toilet.

But think how much you can get done and how much time you'd have to game during the rest of the day.

I have the opposite. Women I'm having sex with tend to fall asleep.

My younger son cooks in his sleep. Doing random stuff while asleep is a documented side effect of one of his medications. That doesn't make him any less responsible for cleaning up the mess in the morning.

But does it taste good?

I knew it was an illness that made me pee in my dormroom sink that night and not the incredible amount of beer I had drunk. I need some medication, stat! Preferably something with codeine.

Sleep drinking? Now that's a sleeping disorder. Though, I don't think many of your friends are going to buy the Alcohosomnia defense.

Depends on if he turns the stove on or not. Macaroni and cheese mixed up without benefit of heat is pretty gross. Note lack of smiley.

I have to say I've done this quite a few times with the wife. She'll tell me in the morning and I don't have any memory of it. I'm afraid to ask if I'm any good, because if the answer is "better than usual", I'm going to have to kill myself.
I am so going to quote that out of context.
Since your wife is going to suggest it anyway... may I suggest an overdose of sleeping-pills?

Politely rude. Briskly vague. Firmly uninformative.
I have entire conversations with my wife that she doesn't remember in the morning. We've also had the 'love-making' wherein she's not awake when it starts and afterward she'll be like, "So who started that?"
To which I then say, "Well once you grabbed 'lil Bordone I thought it was on."
She's cool with it and now it's a good way to have sex since I can always 'blame' her but there are no losers in the bedroom, only winners.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?

My ex housemate had a pretty bad sleep disorder. If he was too stimulated before going to bed (not that kind of stimulation!) ie. if he read, watched or gamed something that made his mind tick over too much then he'd have nightmares which became violent as he tried to fight off whatever his imagination cooked up.
For some reason though his body never shut off its motor functions and he always acted out his usually violent dreams. Though apparently there was this one time that he tried to have sex with his girlfriend in his sleep - she wasn't in the mood though
I've only had a few times that i've done stuff that i don't remember. Scarily, i'm apparently a lot stronger than when awake: when i was 13 my mum and dad combined couldn't remove me from a bed i was sleeping in and instead had to reason with me while i was alseep.
My ex spoke a lot in her sleep. A lot... if i spoke with her she would think that i was whomever she was conversing with in her mind.... though i didn't always get the jist of the conversations as she spoke three different languages in her sleep...just lucky she didn't speak the other ones she knew!

So I guess that means he isn't a sleepwalking saucier. So much for my restaurant idea.
You married people crack me up.

From the sound of it, that's a more severe form of REM behavior disorder. A crappy wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_eye_movement_behavior_disorder
When I was 10 my cousin said I got up and walked around and said something like, "All the people, all the houses..." for a few minutes before I laid down again. This was right around the time Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida.

It is all your fault, then. Right? Or did I come to the wrong conclusion? =P
Yep. Though he does a mean microwaved burrito.
It's some interesting stuff, this medication. It's made a huge difference for him, though, so dealing with him ravaging the kitchen is a small price to pay. Except for those nights when he's supposed to fast so we can do blood levels. I just don't sleep for those.

Is that where you sleep when you're asleep?

I once woke up my wife by kicking and hitting her. Apparently I told her when questioned "I'm fighting a monkey!"

I've had a friend say "I hate you do you know why?" while he was asleep. My ex-girlfriend used to talk a little bit in her sleep.

As for doing this in one's sleep. I have never, to my knowledge, done anything more extensive than rolling over during my somnic periods. My mother, however, has been known to quack and talk about pink elephants in trees while sleeping.
Yes, she used to do pot as a teen.

One time, when I was heaving one of my more 'active' dreams, I stood up on my bed, and in my dream I was falling down, so in real life I let myself fall of my bed. Halfway to the ground I woke up and had a real "Oh sh*t!" moment there. My shoulder was sore for 3 days.
I get such dreams every now and then, usually something from the day somehow sticks in the back of my mind, and comes up at night. I then jump from the bed and do stuff. Usually trying to fend off all kind of animals. I also tend to get very verbal and use a lot of cursing, even to my girlfriend.
The first few time she didn't have a clue to how to handle me in that state, but now-a-days she just tells me to shut up and get in bed. That seems to do the trick.
I don't watch, I interact!
