Didn't sleep well or long last night. About 5 hours. Though it may have been a bit entertaining had H realized I was sleep-walking. I don't think he ever saw me do that, and I don't recollect doing it since grad school though I did do it maybe around 10 times growing up. So 14 years at least without it though who knows, if H crashed on the couch watching TV, I could have been up to something in the bedroom during the first 14 years of our marriage.
Apparently, I was rubbing the curtains in a weird manner (don't remember this at all). Then, H told me I crashed into the bedroom entertainment cabinet and started feeling for a doorknob or light switch on the TV. I do remember H coming in at some point, asking if I was all right, and I answered I was OK, and I guess he thought I was fine because he left. It never came up that I had sleep walked in the past and he probably thought it a side effect of meds or stopping Wellbutrin. It could have been, I suppose, though since I did do things like this without meds growing up, it just may have been normal sleepwalking (if sleepwalking can be considered normal). Maybe I had partially woken up by then because I remember using the bathroom (though the hall bathroom, not the nearby closer master bathroom), fumbling for light switches and door knobs, but my eyesight is very bad without glasses or contacts; I have to do most things by tough and color contrast without glasses or contacts. I know I thought definitely thought I was in a strange master bathroom that we had remodelled and changed things for no apparent reason; at some point, I realized I was in the hall bathroom and got myself re-oriented. Then, thankfully, I took myself back to bed and went to sleep.
No telling what I was doing that made H first come in the bedroom. I am assuming he heard me making noise, which usually after I go to bed on these medications, I fall asleep pretty fast.
Could sleepwalking be from these meds and/or stopping Wellbutrin? I am hoping it's a one-off thing. I really thought I was done with it.
