Unforgettable Sleepwalking Incidents

Have you ever experienced or witnessed a sleepwalking incident that left you feeling embarrassed and bewildered? In this article, we share some of the most awkward sleepwalking episodes that people have encountered and witnessed in the past.

College Dorm Room Nightmare

One of the most memorable sleepwalking incidents happened in a college dorm room. I was a student studying in the common room on a floor with an Amundsen-Nature common room, which featured a versatile printer study area and a compact kitchenette. One night, while I was deep in my studies with another fellow student, an unknown girl from our floor made an unexpected appearance.

She entered the room in underwear, wearing only a sports bra and a very small thong. There was something strange and glossy about her expression. I knew her from the dorm, and she was typically a quiet, nerdy type. She greeted us politely as she went to the microwave and pretended to put something inside. However, it happened that she had nothing in her hands. She turned around while still facing us, mumbled something inaudible, and continued to the microwave even as it started to operate. When she turned around, she left with the microwave still on, still without a clue as to why she was there.

After a couple of seconds, my friend and I exchanged bewildered looks, then headed to the door. We saw her entering her room. We decided to inquire her about the incident a couple days later. She insisted that she never went into the common room that night, attributing her state to the use of Ambien, an over-the-counter sleep medication, and her early bedtime due to an early exam the next day. Her confusion about the incident demonstrated that she had no recollection of her actions.

Childhood Sleepwalking Incident

Another shocking sleepwalking story comes from a more innocent time in our lives. At a sleepover with friends, I was a 12-year-old child and we were spending the night. It was a sleepover filled with games and movies, but as it approached 3 AM, one of my older friends was watching a movie. Suddenly, I began to take off my clothes, and in a similar pattern to the college incident, my friends didn't immediately realize I was sleepwalking.

They began to ask what I was doing, but I was a bit confused and couldn't give a clear answer. Eventually, I ended up completely naked and proceeded to masturbate in front of my startled friends. They began to tell me to go back to bed, and I started wandering around the house trying to find a place to sleep. One of them finally led me back to bed, and I ended up falling asleep there.

When I awoke the next day, a friend confided in me about the events of the night before, explaining that I had behaved inappropriately during my sleepwalking episode. It was a deeply embarrassing moment for me, and it taught me a valuable lesson about sleepwalking.

Key Takeaways

These stories highlight just how unpredictable and potentially embarrassing sleepwalking can be. It's a condition that can lead to a range of inappropriate and unusual actions. Understanding sleepwalking is important, as it can help us prevent embarrassing incidents in the future. It also demonstrates the importance of knowing the difference between real and perceived actions during these episodes.
