Nocturnal Cachinnations

I woke myself from a deep slumber laughing. Out loud. In the middle of the night. A first for me

I use to do that all the time. I have walked, talked, laughed, and ate in my sleep. I have even pinched and hit my husband. When I worked at Sam's Club, I use to tell my husband that he needed to go to another checker if he had more then ten items in his basket. I ended up seeking help at a sleep lab because I was getting tired of being woken up by my husband and being told to quit. You cannot stop doing something that you are not aware of until it is to late. Basically, there is a part of our brains that is suppose to paralyze us when we sleep so that you cannot act out your dreams and mine malfunctions every once in awhile. My husband and I have noticed that when mine malfunctions it always occurs when there is a lot on my mind. My sister use to catch me talking in my sleep when we were kids and then talk back to me. She found out that when she did that she could use the information that she garnered to blackmail me. I ended up doing lots of her chores.

Exploitation at its finest! No worries, that'll save you the trouble of applying for a Top Secret clearance :P

Weird night. I apparently woke misphit up with, as she described it, "mad scientist laughter" sometime in the night. I asked if it could have just been coughing, but no: maniacal laughter.

I have absolutely no memory of this. :-)

"Maniacal laughter." That's fantastic - and a much better story than my own. BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[bsdcat]

Yeah, but I didn't get to leave anyone with bizarre mental images :-)

My life is a daze.

I'm sure it's just a phase.
