I called and asked her what she was doing and she said she was having trouble finding the toilet... wife and I look at each other with a 
and my wife gets up to investigate further. Sabrina, when asked what she's doing says, "Going to the bathroom."
"No Honey, you're in the kitchen." is the reply.
Sabrina then again insists that she's in the bathroom...
It's then that my wife notices a puddle under the kitchen chair...
We've been laughing about this most of the night and most of today and thought we'd share.
Sabrina sleeps pretty hard and would sleep through a bomb going off next door. She does sometimes sleepwalk, and we can usually get her to bed with no issues whatsoever. There was only one other time she was sleepwalking where she did something odd, and that was removing her pajama bottoms and throwing them in the laundry hamper and then wondered where they were after she went to the bathroom (in the actual bathroom). This kid is gonna be trouble over the coming years...

damned preview text!!!
That was just one of many crazy things I did as a sleepwalker.
I hear it's quite normal, but they could have been humoring me. 
I've done worse but while completely awake. I was 3 or 4 years old and the folks had some guests over. I wandered up to mom asking for help refastening my pants. She asked why and I told her "I went potty." They praised me for being a big boy and I went on my merry way...
Seems I'd gone potty in the oven... 
(Hey! It was big and white and had a lid!!) my folks didn't realize it until they popped a pizza in the oven later that day. That stove went out the back door that very night and a new one got installed the next day.

I did the same thing when I was about 5 years old. My mother heard noises in the night and found me pissing in the trashcan in the bathroom.
I am told that I, too, was a trashcan pisser when I was young.
But they have no proof of this, I declare Shenanigans.
It's not something people hear about.
Mom's office is right next to my room. With no door. This is both immensely annoying and means I can hear everything in her office and she can hear everything in my room. She also works in the morning. So, one time she was working away, and from my bed came an energetic "HEY, GUESS WHAT?". Turned around, sound asleep.
My brother had the best one, though. He sleeptalks too, but to a lesser degree than me - he gets the inflection right, but not the words, so it comes out sounding like "aufh ebl brah WEEHBF murfy RAH". So, one time, mom and dad were downstairs watching TV, brother abed, when suddenly a loud, terrible, pedophile-in-my-bed "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM" echoes from above. They rush up, terrified... and he is soundly, peacefully asleep.

I've told my mom a ton of things - about how i met the lockness, about how I play guitar for royalty... I tell her what I'm dreaming I guess.
Even now that I live away from home, my friends who sleep over laugh at me in the morning

I had to have surgery when I was eight to fix my bladder, which refused to hold urine for more than about six hours for whatever reason. It was too small or too much of a bitch. So I had three alarm clocks when I was younger.

Hahaha. Great anecdote!
I've never sleep walked. I do however have lengthy intricate conversations with people while I'm asleep and they talk to me. Its almost like a sleep answering machine. For example, one time my mother has asked me to wake up and get ready for school. All is normal. But then I answer her with, "School is canceled the radio convinced me of this earlier." (She told me this whole story later, which I still do not remember) She asked me "Really? Your radio is not even on, how do you know this?" I got angry at her at this point and shouted "THERES NO TIME MAN GET ONTO THE PLANE!" She knew I was obviously asleep and shook me awake. This would be a joke on my mothers part if I wasn't positive this has happened on other occasions. Times I'll asnwer the phone and have five minute conversations that I have no recalection of.
I had asked my mother to wake me up at a certain time once, I awoke three hours later. I was quite angry that she couldn't wake me up. Its not that hard! Apparently when she tried I cursed her out and wouldn't wake up.
Now I explain to anyone that doesn't know (and may find it relavent) these stories. And that I may in fact still be asleep and having a conversation with them and If im rude or angry I don't mean it. DrPaintThinner fucked around with this message on 04-12-2005 at 04:50 PM.

Night Terrors will give any parent heartattacks. Ravyn still has night terrors, they are gawd aweful and so painful to watch as parent since you never ever ever wake up a child in the middle of a night terror.

Sabrina has only ever had one when she was 2 years old. She screamed for 45 minutes for her mommy while in her arms. Mary was beside herself by the end of that and I had a double cuddle going once Beaner calmed a bit. (tearful wife and frazzled daughter)

The worst part is having to just... sit there and watch. Since you can't do anything to help or soothe them. Waking a child in a Night Terror has a very high probability of sending them into Shock. Not good. Very heartwrenching.
Ravyn is cursed with them, hers usually go on for an hour or more at the least. Sometimes she'll go days without one, and then others she'll have one every single night, sometimes more than once.

You think night terrors are bad for parents?? They are insanely frightening to experience! More frightening than anything I have ever experienced. It was a completely irrational terror, one that I woke up from screaming. It was like somehting awakened me but didn't. If that makes sense (which it really doesn't now that I read it again). And when reality began to blend with my dream I was unable to move because of sleep paralysis. Very scary, very very scary. (this is what I was told was a night terror. It may be something completely different, but this is pretty much what happened)
Then there are the days I wake up to find I have moved the mattress off my fouton, both blankets and all nine pillows not only to a different room but a different floor, rebuilt my bed there and continued sleeping there.
Considering my Mom is a very, VERY light sleeper, she has never heard me do any of this at night. I am apparently stealthy like a ninja when asleep.
To the best of my knowledge I never had night terrors though Vorago fucked around with this message on 04-12-2005 at 06:58 PM.

More than likely just a really bad nightmare.
Night Terrors are waking nightmares you cant come out of. To everyone watching the person afflicted is completely awake and aware (They aren't technically, but to anyone watching they appear so), but thier world they are in does not exist, they are living out a nightmare. It is a horrible horrible thing to watch.
Cyn and Ravyn are entirely opposite when it comes to this.
Cyn has never to this day had a night terror, she does not sleepwalk, she doesn't do anything, hell she doesn't even really have nightmares and she watches stuff that makes her mother cringe and loves it. She has also never wet the bed with the exception of maybe a couple times when in the very begining.
Ravyn on ther other hand has night terrors on a daily basis, sleepwalks, sleeptalks, has frequent nightmares, and STILL wets the bed almost nightly.
I've been told I talk in my sleep when I have too much on my mind. In HS my sister came into my room and held a conversation with me. According to her I was spouting answers in german and she couldn't understand a word.
I've only slepwalked once that I was aware of. Got up, went into my parent's bathroom (which was on the far end of the house from mine) and decided that their gas heater (built into the wall) was the toilet. I managed to piss it out while my mother, who I had disturbed getting into said bathroom, watched. The next morning she made me clean it up.
I got up, walked to the computer, turned it on, and left.
Or so I've been told.
Two odd things about my sleep.
There's been a few times (3 or 4 times I can remember in the past 10 years) when I've woken up in the middle of the night and realised that I didn't know how to breathe.
Then I sat there, agonizing over the fact that I can't take a deep breath, until instinct kicks in and I start breathing.
The other is that I have dreams about numbers. Not math, per se. Just numbers. I'll dream about huge numbers, then I'll dream about small numbers, and when I start dreaming about small numbers my entire body feels like it's on a knife's edge. Every single nerve in my body.
I'm fucked up, aren't I?
I sleep walk a bit but I have come to this conclusion on my own. I have fallen asleep at the keyboard, sometimes during Kat's D&D sessions and then I get up and turn off the computer and go to bed in the next room. So when I wake up I only remember a part of Kat's session and then can't figure out who moved me or how I got to bed.

You have no idea what a night terror is. The person having the night terror rarely if ever has any recolection of the entire event. For the most part it sucks for the parents a whole lot more then the child.

Ah I see. Good to know.
My mother has told me of another peculiar thing I do.
If we are on a long road trip and I eventually fall asleep I may wake up breifly to scream "OH MY GOD, WE ARE GOING TO CRASH!" My mother has since become used to this because it has happened three or four times now. Man I hate long car trips.
She'd come back in and be like 'OMFG WHY AREN'T YOU UP YOU SAID YOU WERE GETTING UP TWICE!?!?!' I'd be half dazed from just waking up thinking of how crazy she sounded. I'm like mom.. you haven't talked to me this morning.
So she recorded it with a home video camera one morning. Pretty werid to see yourself say something and talk but not remember one bit of it.

It was great. My mom was like that too, though she was worse. She could be up and walking around but didn't remember a damn thing till the morning cigarette and Mountain Dew.
That's when I asked her for money and to sign bad report cards. She and I have a good laugh about that nowadays.

I've done the same thing before. Haven't seen it recorded though.

I'm fucked up, aren't I?
Nah, I know what it's like. Sometimes I'm just about to fall asleep, in that nice, really relaxing stage, that just-about-to-lose-consciousness pleasantness, when I realise that I haven't been breathing for the past minute or so. It's really scary. I've sorta charted my progress during this time... the more relaxed I get, the shallower I breathe, until I'm just about to go to sleep and I stop. I assume I sleep in torpor or something. Yeeg.
Another odd thing is, again, just as I'm about to nod off, I'll get this image in my head. Same one every time, very difficult to describe. Not so much an image, as a continuous sense of something... not AROUND me, just THERE. Something at the same time immense and miniscule, like this one thing encompasses everything, and everything is so small. It's not unpleasant, just weird. I'm like, hi, mister deity. 'Night to you too.

Hmmm I have a similar thing. Except its darkness. Not just closing your eyes. An overwhelming relaxing darkness. That keeps getting deeper and darker as I drift off to sleep. Then I wake up later. Yours sounded much better though.. Mine sounds horrible. I bet everyone does the same thing as me and I'm not different at all.
