Hello,
Just wanting to see if anyone can help me figure out what's going on with me! For as long as I can remember I've slept walked, but it has been much worse in the last 5 years. I do it between 2-7 times a week, often multiple times in one night. I am ALWAYS aware of what I'm doing. For example, last night I saw a shadow in my room and believed it to be a child I work with--I could see the shadow moving, woke up my other half who turned on the light and I could still see it, I was looking out the window for them, under the bed and trying to get clothes on. As soon as I "come round" I am aware of how ridiculous what I've just done is.
Other examples include believing someone else is in bed with me, not my other half. It will usually be a work colleague or a stranger. I'll "wake up", feeling panic and (as I sleep nude) will silently feel around on the floor for clothes to put on, often crawling out of bed and out of the door to get away from whoever I think is in the bed. Again, either my OH will, over a period of minutes, convince me I'm dreaming/sleep walking or I will realise it myself by reasoning with myself. I often become agressive as it feels VERY real in my mind until I realise it's not happening and then I feel ridiculous that I could of imagined something. I am awake during these times. I remember every detail about my walking, straight after and the next day.
Any ideas?!
