I have always been fascinated by sleepwalking/sleepwalkers. First of all, I haven't ever seen anyone sleepwalk before. Do they really walk with their arms stretched out like a zombie? And can they really not remember or have any control over what they are doing? That's just scary to me. I think my cousin, Tyler, used to or still does sleepwalk.
Especially, with those sleeping pills these days, where the commercials say, "if you experience sleepwalking, driving while asleep, or eating while you are asleep, contact your doctor." How are you supposed to know if you are doing these things if you are asleep??
On the other hand, I have experienced a good share of sleep talking. Now, that is funny! Especially, when you can interject and carry on a conversation and they respond. They totally can't remember what they said. Back in my college days, my roommate's mom came to visit and she was taking a nap on the couch. Tiff had told me about her mom and how much fun they had had growing up, getting her to talk in her sleep. Hee hee hee, we got such a good laugh outta that one. I kind of felt bad, but then what is the harm if they don't remember anything?
I want to know if I know any closet sleepwalkers out there. Show yourself, you! Apparently, about 10% of the population will experience it at least once in their lifetime.

What a random blog! Taggart used to have night panic attacks where he'd scream and see crawly things on the walls. His dad tried to shake/yell him out of it. I have heard of other little kids going through night terrors. If I ever sleep walk I hope it's to go out and get Ben and Jerry's.
Just so you know Miss Maddie walks in her sleep. It's rather freaky!
