Forget Sleepwalking, Now There's Sleepmailing
from the you-said-what-to-who-now? dept
People have been shown to have done amazing things while "sleepwalking," including driving places. However, the press has been jumping on a recent report of a woman who was found to have sleep-emailed as well. She apparently logged into her email while "sleeping" and sent a series of nonsensical emails which she later failed to recall. The whole scenario is a bit bizarre -- and reminds us how little we know about sleep and brain functions during sleep. I'm reminded of a recent episode of This American Life where they looked at The Fear of Sleep, which includes a hilarious story of comedian Mike Birbiglia's (actually very scary, and quite dangerous) battle with sleepwalking. It's the funniest story you'll ever hear concerning a man throwing himself out a window (it starts about 9 minutes in).Filed Under: sleep emailing, sleep walking

Sucked to wake up, load a saved game and.... wtf.. that's not where I was...
mails were often semi-nonsense ... containing parts that made sense... and other wtf parts...
mind you... I also find keys and unlock doors when I sleepwalk... thankfully all this happens less and less to me these days... though I still get my gf to hide our keys before bed...
