I have written several posts about my wife walking and talking in her sleep. Some of the more interesting things she has said like this had to do with times around when she had seizures. Nearly all these stories have taken place before our kids were born. They haven’t had the pleasure of being entertained by… Continue reading Bucket List

When my wife wakes me up in the middle of the night, it’s rarely for a good reason. One night she woke me up shouting “Feel of the wall!!”  I was sound asleep and wasn’t sure what she had said so when I asked she shouted again, “Feel of the wall!!” I assumed that she… Continue reading Feel of the Wall!

My wife has a reputation for doing and saying things in her sleep. This story took place in our first house. It was before our children were born. My wife has some nice cross-stitched pieces that she had done that were based on Norman Rockwell works. We had several of these hanging in our bedroom. … Continue reading Picture on the Wall

My wife doing something interesting while she was asleep has never been an every-night experience. But this story also takes place in our first apartment which we lived in for about a year.

My wife and I were still in that first apartment when I had my next encounter with her doing things in her sleep.

My wife and I had not been married that long until I found out that she would occasionally walk or talk in her sleep.  The very first time I remember her doing anything like this was when we were in our first apartment. She fell asleep before I did but we hadn’t been in bed… Continue reading The Blinds

When I was growing up, I slept in a twin bed. This is the same bed I talked about in a previous post where I talk about not being a sleepwalker. This bed had 4 slats under the boxed springs. One of these slats didn’t fit that well and would occasionally fall out when I… Continue reading Falling Slats

I am not a sleepwalker.  I have never been one to get up in the middle of the night while I was not awake.  The closest I ever came to sleepwalking was one evening when I was still in elementary school.  I woke up and found myself sitting up in the bed.  I wasn’t dreaming… Continue reading I Am Not A Sleepwalker
