Sleep...climbing?

[ridicully]

The things I do while asleep sometimes amaze me.
I can't really hold a conversation when I'm sleeping like some of my acquaintances, but I can usually answer any questions I'm asked.
I can let the dogs out or feed them or even answer a phone call without really waking up. Since I sleep in a loft bed, I can also climb a ladder while asleep.
I have no recollection of doing anything like this tonight, the only thing I vaguely remember is standing beside my bed, holding the piece of wood serving as a bedside table in my hand and wondering why I took it down. This morning I realized that I broke off part of the headboard, broke the plastic tray on my desk and left footprints on a box standing besides the desk.
I seem to have climbed over the headboard (using the bedside table as a lever to break it), onto the table 1 m below, from there on the box and completely down.
How I managed this without waking up or breaking my neck I don't know. I also don't know *why* I did it. I don't remember any dreams about climbing.
I think I'll take this incident as further proof that I need some more sleep. (At the moment, I take anything that goes wrong as proof of this.)

LOL! Ack. That would make me nervous. I used to do strange things in my sleep when I was a kid, but I haven't done anything like that in years. At least not of which I'm aware. O_o ::grin::

I haven't done something like this in years. (At least I don't think I have).
Und es macht mich auch irgendwie nervös. Wer weiß was ich als nächstes versuche? Meine Wohnung ist im 4. Stock. *g*

Okay, things like that would pretty much scare me. But then again, I'm a girl that usually jerks awake if a fly buzzes...

I'm the girl who gets angry at her training partners if they hold back and don't kick or hit really hard.
So I'm not too scared, but I really want to know why the hell I thought it necessary to climb.

Such things are the reason I have no loft bed and keep the door to my sleeping room closed at all times. :o)
Perhaps it's a comforting thought for you that usually, sleepwalkers do strange things (like climbing), but for unknown reasons, they seldom hurt themselves at it.

I really hope I don't start to make a habit out of it, even if I don't think I'll hurt myself it's still a very irritating thing to do.
And I hope my dog would stop me before I climbed out of the window *g*.
