A few years ago i heard my son up, went to check on him, and found him peeing in a basket of clean laundry. I almost started to say something to wake him up, but then stopped. Easier to just put the laundry back through the wash than to clean the floors. He went back to bed without ever waking up.

My flatmate in grad school got up to pee in the middle of the night and opened our apartment door instead of the bathroom door. He ended up in the building’s hallway peeing through the railing of the stairs. Oh, and another thing - he hadn’t bothered to put any clothing on when he got out of his bed since he was just walking to the bathroom in the dark at 2 am, so not only was his act probably caught on the security camera, but he was stark naked while doing it. And what’s more, he didn’t have to tell the rest of us anything about it - if I were him, I would have kept it to myself and prayed nobody saw me!

I thought sleepwalkers don't remember what they did. How did he remember it?

Because he woke up while he was peeing in the hallway.

I was in girl scouts in elementary school and we went to a camp with cabins. I apparently got up out of my bunk, went down the ladder, left the cabin and entered a totally different cabin with a different troop. I walked over to a bunk bed, climbed the ladder and woke up. I couldn't figure out why a stranger was sleeping in my bed.

It took me about 20 minutes to figure out what was going on and make my way back to the correct cabin. I'm so glad that it ended up not being a bigger issue.

A friend is a regular sleepwalker, but she’s actually extremely productive when she sleepwalks. She sleep cleans and sleep does laundry. Her family (and she as she remembers nothing) awake to an absolutely sparkling clean house and clothes several times a week. She has on occasion wandered outside into the yard and street. It was never an issue until very coincidentally, the CEO of her husband‘s company wound up moving across the street from them and now it is a running joke that she will walk over there accidentally

She started to put her shoes on and try to unlock the front door to walk out! It’s still haunts me to this day about what would’ve happened if I didn’t hear her. My husband slept through the whole thing.

I did this in the 6th grade, 30 years ago. I was a big sleep walker from ages 8-14, and my parents were used to finding me in the middle of the night elsewhere in the house. But one night I tried to leave the house, and set off the security alarm, which they rarely put on when we were in the house. After that, my parents always kept the alarm on. Apparently when they find me outside on the porch all I said was "I am late for school, I need to go. "

One morning I went to wake DD up and found her stark naked in bed. I asked her if she was hot last night and she said no, and had no idea what happened to her pajamas. I found them on the bathroom floor but DD still didn’t remember. Her older sister solved the mystery-apparently she was up in the middle of the night using the bathroom when younger DD came in, stood in front of the sink and stripped off her clothes, then left and went back to bed.

My funny sleepwalking story did not happen to me. It happened to a friend. We were at a wedding, and he left the hotel room in only his underwear and woke up in the elevator going down. Fortunately nobody else was on the elevator and he went back up to his room, and of course he did not have a key so he had to knock on the door. his girlfriend opened the door to see him standing in the hallway in just his underwear.

+1 sleepwalking was one of the first symptoms of my child’s nocturnal epilepsy.
