Hi I unconsciously started walking around my house and kept on saying my leg had a cramp I was told about this the next morning by someone i live with and I do not remember at all anything about this. Why did I not just wake up and is this of any concern. I have sleepwalked in the past and have screamed at night and people in my house wake me up and tell me what happened as I don't remember.

Some people are just more likely to do it than others. It's not usually dangerous.
Thanks for this!

Dear Spindly,
Sleepwalking can be dangerous ( people on night meds/and not: have reported driving and awakening in the car in the morning!)
Have you ever had a sleep study?
If that is not possible record yourself sleeping and bring that to a doctor. There are meds to keep you from moving but they cause a paralyzing effect, which could make dreamtime into a nightmare so thats a last resort!

A very inexpensive tactic can keep you from not walking out of your bedroom can be little dixie cups filled with a small amount of cold water and line the doorway. Water will wake you up. Or a bell on the door, or a motion triggered light.

I would concentrate on building your sleeping skills.
Again voice recording your sleep for a period of time, and listen to your sleep talk. I have.
Screaming while asleep tells me you have a lot on your mind, you might not be aware of what, it could be old issues from the past or present troubles.
I wish you good nights and pm me if you like.

Dear Silver,
I just wanted you to know I read your blog.
I think we all need a sounding board and pc is a good place.
Sometimes safer to talk here than family/friends.
I have a group that you can join, A Sanctuary for Friends of Angels.
You click on my page and will see the group, click it to visit or join.
We would be happy to have you!
