Yes
This week I think my Mrs has had enough of my sleep walking. She's woken me up to strange events several times this week alone. I've done it since as long as I can remember. From simple things like sitting up in bed and talking, to waking up in different places. I seem to be getting worse with it and just wondering what help I could get from my GP. I'm not stressed about anything and had a good childhood so I'm unsure of why it's getting worse.

A few things this week I have done:

Woken up with a bowl of frosties beside me and a tin of cat food on the other...I don't own a cat. Frosties had no milk and the cat food had a spoon in it haha.

Lifted the Mrs above my head to try and put her in the lampshade because I thought the dogs were hiding in the light bulbs lol.

Woke her up last night to a robot infestation. I tries to find the keys to my gun cabinet. Not so funny that one.


What would be the best thing for me to do? I have two kids to worry about as well. I have 6guns in total in my house including two sniper rifles that are capable of shooting over a mile, so I don't want to see the outcome of getting one of them in my sleep, or any of the others for that matter.

Would it be an idea that I go out the house before bed so.my wife can hide all my keys to the house, guns, car etc? That way I won't be able to get them. Atleast till I get put on some meds anyway.

Laugh if you want, I still am but realising it's getting more serious now so I better pull my finger out and get some help.

A couple of parts of your post make this very very true.
 
I think I would definitely be looking at a trip to your GP to start with, and perhaps talking to a licence gun owning mate to see if off site storage of them is possible for a while [or however these things work]. Definitely get the wife to hide the car keys too as I do know someone that climbed into their car whilst sleep walking, though they didn't actually start it, just woke up there the next morning - on the street outside the house, in only pyjama bottoms. :LOL: [male I hasten to add, but still rather embarassing]
 
I'll get her to ring the GP up for me tomorrow when I'm at work.

Yeh I should be able to do that. I live on an estate with other gamekeepers so should be able to get them stored away for a while.
 
I've been on the other side of sleepwalking. It's a weird experience. I won't say scary as the person involved has just done some very odd things and only when super, super stressed. It has only happened on 3 occasions.

Definitely speak to GP and take it from there.
 
It sounds like you doctor really needs to get involved, maybe a sleep study is needed I don't know I've had a couple of sleep walking episodes when I was very young, one not particularly impressive one was where I turned right rather than left in the hall and rather than going into the bathroom, I p***ed all over the telephone :lol: :lol: mum was not impressed
 
when i was young my mother once woke me up when i was in our pub kitchen standing next to the stove with frying pan in my hand trying to cook those packing polystyrene S's, lucky the stove wasn't on
