Welcome

I have recently noticed now that i am in college that when i drink to the absolute limits i sleepwalk and pee in my room. This has happenned numerous times and once i was even with a girl and i pissed in her trash can. I dont want to change my drinking habits, but obviously i would love to stop peeing. I do not remember a single incident, all that i know is from what my two roomates tell me. Please email me with any possible solutions my email is laxman3387@yahoo.com

My friend, a girl who lives on my dorm floor, sleep walks and pees. Last night she came into my room and peed all over my purse, my chair and floor!! I was so pissed off! It was helpful to find this site and know that other people are stuggling with friends/family members who have the same problem. The only thing I'm not seeing on the site is what can be done to stop it??? It seems like drinking is a factor, but my friend only had two drinks and was not anywhere near the limit. Please email me if you have any medical information on this: tjvomha@hotmail.com Thanks.

Last night, I apparently "woke up" and started reading dvd's, then tossing them around the room. Next I walked over to the couch and started peeing on it. My girlfriend saw the whole thing and she's trying to tell me it's normal. Is it?

My experience has shown that despite the source (night terrors, etc.), the manifestation of the source results in the sleepwalking-- for sleepwalkers, that is. Too much stress, too much alcohol, too little sleep, night terrors and depression have all been sources (impetuses, if you will) of my sleepwalking. My own (very informal) research has led to me to one conclusion: sleepwalkers tend to be sensitive-- uber-sensitive ("uber" meaning "the best kind"). Therefore, any time a sleepwalker is incensed, or over-stimulated, he/she tends to manifest that stimulation through sleepwalking.

I agree, if the source of the night terrors are lessened, the sleepwalking will also be lessoned. But what causes one to have night terrors in the first place? Obviously the same thing that causes one to sleepwalk.

I have been through counseling and to the church. I have read each message posted on this page 1,000 times-- I can relate to most of them (thankfully, I am NOT a peer). I am the most coherent of the sleepwalking family: I remember 90% of what I do in my walking episodes. And I am always frustrated the next morning when I recall and recount how little muscle control I had when my brain control was so strong and intact. . . it just doesn't make sense.

One thing I've found is true: the less stressful my life, the less I walk. Therefore, I do all things within my power to reduce the stress in my life: eat, exercise, pray, forgive, forget, and most of all, love.

Here's hoping that we'll never meet naked late one night while peeing on our neighbor's porch plants. Forgive yourself, forgive the world; everything will be okay-- that is, if that is the way you want it to be.

Cheers and peace to you, my secret family. . . .

Until we meet again. . . .

recently while sleeping I jumped on my girlfriend and gave her an angry, threatening look, and aggressivly pointed my finger in her face three times. Like a very serious warning. She was scared and frozen with shock and just looked back at me. Then I jumped off. She said "what are you doing". I said "chasing the joint man". She said "chasing the joe man?". I laughed and said "no the joint man!". She said "do you know what you just did, you just jumped on top of me". I said "what". She repeated herself, then my eyes rolled back and I went back to sleep. Maybe six months ago, in the middle of the night, I ripped the blanket off her, leaned over her and angrily said "what did you say". Again she was frightened and replied "I didn't say anything, I think you're dreaming". and I rolled over and went back to sleep. I'm 25 now and when I was younger (8-12) I slept walked next door and knocked on their door, once I woke up in a different room, I woke up without my blanket and it was in the bathroom and would sometimes try to go to the toilet in odd places, but mum would stop me. I figured the early stuff was quite normal but the more recent actions have me worried. I cant remember anything and never have. Obviously I'm not acting like that towards her but I fear that I might act out a more violent dream and hurt her. This case seems different to others I have read, as others don't involve acting on someone else. With the most recent sleeping drama she said she had just been wriggling and she thought I must have been angry at her. Maybe when I feel her next to me she becomes a part of my dream? I don't know??? Just now as I typed that last sentence I remember a bit of the dream I was having. All I can remember is I was chasing someone, don't know why or who but it was for a good reason. Then someone got in my way accidently and knocked me over, can't remember who. Maybe that's when she was wriggling? Then I remember being angry he got away and angry at the person who got in my way. That's all I remember. I know the person I was chasing did something terrible. At least now I know writing about it can bring a bit of the memory back. What can I do? What should I do? Am I a danger? Is this sleep walking or something else more psychological? Thanks for reading this and look forward to some ideas

I know someone who badly injured themsleves while sleepwalking. Put their handthrough a glass window.

As yet I still don't think she has found a cure, though her sleepwalking seems to relate to how anxious she is earlier in the day.

My husband had gotten up 3 times in the middle of the night and has peed in 3 different spots. 1 incedent he peed on our space heater, 2 he peed in the wood stove in the living room and just last night he peed in the trash can. He is stress out alot and he does drink, so the 3 times he has done that he has had stuff to drink and i dont think he was drunk. Can anyone tell me what causes this. thinking of asking the dr. anyone find out please email me. curiousity is killing me.

I have made my husband ashamed by peeing everywhere many times. i sleep walked as a kid my mum found me out side the the house. i have trouble sleeping. But when I get blind apparently I can't control myself I'm lucky my husband loves me. He woke up to me peeing on the chest and asked me to stop apparently I told him to shut up and turn the light off. He asked me if I cleaned it up the next day I had no idea what he was talking about. I just want to be normal.

i have the same problem, it started on my 21st birthday and ever since then whenever i black out i seem to find the next morning that i pissed somewhere (a tupperware drawer, waste basket, my carpet, the couch)... is there any hope??
