    I was watching a program on BBC1 last night about sleepwalking, and the similarity to my own 'night-time issues' was startling.
    I've sleptwalk ever since I was a kid, and my 'adventures' include:
    * Climbing out of the loft skylight halfway but getting back in because it was raining (8 years old-ish)
    * Throwing my two speakers down the stairs, along with a four foot teddy bear of my little sister's (8 years old-ish)
    * Walking downstairs and trying to get out of the house (spoon in the keyhole the next morning - 12 years old-ish)
    * Getting partially dressed and driving to my friend's house (no shit!!), no lights, door part open and no seatbelt (20 years old)
    * Making my friend promise he'll stab me if 'he' (person unknown) somes in the door on holiday in Crete (18 years old)
    * Waking up outside a girls house I'd only met the night before at 5am in just my boxershorts in the street, apparently I'd be banging on her bedroom door to get out and she let me! (19 years old)
    There's been quite a few since, none as dramatic (most just strolling around the bedroom) Doctor's don't do much, say I'll grow out of it but I'm 32 now!
    Can anyone top that?
    Is there a Doctor in the house?

  2. i know this isn;t quite sleep walking but.....

    chris & myself were 2 normal 15 year olds, and we had this really hot english teacher. anyway, it was mid summer and our teacher (Miss chapman) was wearing a VERY low cut top on that particular day. My unfortunate friend suffers from epilepsey- he does not fit on the floor or anything, but he does tend to "blank out"- by which i mean just stare into space for about 30 seconds! anyway, this hot teacher faced him and bent over, looking at his work. normally, it is small electrical discharge in the brain which causes him to blank out, but on this particular accasion, it was the sight of 2 lovely young breasts about 2 feet from his face, my friend just stared at them for a full 30 seconds, he suddenly "woke up" to the teacher shouting at him. he had no idea what he had just done- i tried to explain that he was epileptic but she wouldn't believe me!!! after that she never wore a low cut top agaiN!!!

    i have once slept walked, but only to the bottom of the bedroom (i was on holiday with a friend, and we were in the same room)- anyway, he woke up to hear me muttering "is SO easy" and crouching at the bottom of the bed!!!! that was all i can recall, not as funny as yours though silky!!!
    1)Why Not Overclock a little?! speed 4 free!!!!
    2) If your question has anything to do with copying PS2/PC/XBox games, find a more appropriate website

  3. I don't sleepwalk, but I have a cousin that does. Thay have to put an alarm on her door when they travel. I guess she is about 30 now, but when she was a teenager, her parents walked into her room and caught her just as she was about to do a swan-dive from the bottom of the bed.
    OUCH!!
    Just what is this reality thing anyway?

  4. No such problems. I am a rough sleeper though. Like in the morning my sheets will be all over the place.

  5. I've only sleep-walked once....I was ~6 when I woke up in the middle of the night to pee...after wandering around the house for a few minutes not able to find the bathroom, I pissed all over my dad's boots

    He wasn't too happy....

    Weird thing about it was that I remember the whole thing, but apparently wasn't able to stop what I was doing

    I am a heavy, heavy sleeper! It takes someone pulling me to the floor to wake me up. I snore, talk, grind my teeth, and walk in my sleep. My parents have told me that I've had entire conversations with them and I'll wake up mid-conversation and have no idea what's going on.

  8. Well, I have not had anything as exciting as driving! But, once after going to sleep in my bed, I woke up downstairs sitting in a chair with my shirt off (which I had on when I fell asleep).

    I have a camcorder with that time delay facility (you know, where you film one in three seconds, yes?) but my wife won't let me leave the light on a little so I can get a good shot.
    Now that would beat tgpo's murder/death/kill, kill, kill movies, wouldn't it?

    Don't you have a 0 lux facility on your camcorder. Mine has and it was only a cheap one. I can record in total darkness in black and white.

    No Idea, although it's brand new, the Sony DCRTRV14, I better read the manual then
    How can you record in total darkness though?

  12. It uses infrared light

    Super NightShotTM 0 Lux Infrared System: With Sony's enhanced NightShot system you can capture video even when shooting in total darkness (0 Lux) up to 10 feet away using the built-in infrared system. By engaging the Super NightShot system, the DCR-PC5 will automatically adjust the Shutter Speed for even better exposure and detail

    This is for the Sony, mine is a panasonic, I assume it uses the same system.

    Sony's original '98 feature: by switching the infrared cut-off filter, the camera is capable of recording in complete darkness (0 Lux!). The infrared beam is additionally emitted from the camera. Allows for new usage of Handycam: shooting by night, while camping, exploring nature, monitoring baby's room, security camera for house and garage, handy tool in household and many more.
    Superb, mine has it too!
    Thanks man, I really should read the book, but I've only had it three months
    If I get any decent sleepwalking activity I will upload for dvdrhelp member pleasure

    Yeah, but I fear it'll have to include ten pints of blood, some brain matter and possibly a chainsaw
    Kids nowadays, tut tut

  16. How about a commercial where someone takes a chainsaw to a MAC and then gets a real computer?
