If you're confiding in a friend about sleep problems, the conversation might turn to topics like not getting enough rest or tossing and turning at night. But what about things your body does during sleep — like drooling, snoring, bedwetting, or passing gas — that you might be embarrassed to talk about by the light of day?

As a teenager, the apartment we lived in used the large radiators for heat. I used to put my bed right next to it in the winter, not that it was too cold, I just like being warm when I sleep. I still do. I have used an electric blanket in the summer. Anyway, I punched that radiator in my sleep and broke three fingers and cut one of them open needing stitches. Mom made me move my bed after that, LOL.

Haha. Yes, I suppose it's not actually embarrassing...but it's not exactly something to be proud of. But sleep never really produces anything I'm proud of. That is not its job :-)

You speak some good hearty truth with that last part! I would say it's somewhere in the category of "not embarassing... but not something you'd include in a greeting when meeting new people" LOL...... I don't think I've ever had an actual wet dream

My husband has always talked in his sleep, many times to my entertainment. When we were first living together about 12 years ago now, I was coming back to bed after getting up to use the restroom. I made it into the bedroom door, no problem. Half across the bedroom though, he sits bolt upright and yells "STOP!" I freeze.. in my head the boogyman is behind me and I'm about to die. He looks me dead in the face and tells me "don't step on the baby aliens.." and proceeds to lay back down and snore. I'd have liked to kill him for that one.. gave me a freakin heart attack!

Today though he added another gem. I was trying to wake him up to go to work, told him the time and was turning around to give him a few mins when he called me back to the bed. I bent over to hear him better and he told me "can you take the pumpkin out of the freezer so I can take a shower?" When he woke up I asked him what the pumpkin had to do with his shower.. he looked at me like I'd lost my mind. I just smiled at him and told him.. "nevermind." Granted I probably should have clued him in on the joke, but watching him walk around the house trying to figure it out was priceless!

Ha!!! I hope your husband doesn't mind but I got a good laugh out of your post!! Mostly because I see a lot of myself in those stories. My boyfriend tells me I do stuff like that often. I get a good laugh at those too :P
