What does one do about sleepwalking and talking while sleeping? My roomate often informs me of embarassing things that I did in my sleep the previous night; sometimes things I said, sometimes things I did. I know he's not just making it up because I vaguely remember it.

Does anybody know of anything I can do?

DT, you can see a qualified Psychologist if this bothers you. It's really not terribly significant in most cases.

It doesn't really bother me that much, I'd just rather not do embarassing things in my sleep. (I think you probablly wouldn't want to either) I was just wondering if anybody knew of any ways to overcome this.

By the way, spending money on a psychologist to determine why I do stuff in my sleep is not a wise use of my money.

Maybve you could go to a sleep disorder clinic. They keep you over night to observe you.
My husband had a friend who would pee in the corner at night. There were other circumstances that I would not want to gross everyone out with. He was under the influence of alchol.
I think the sleep study would help you, forget the psyco people.
Just my 2 cents

Sometimes I scream while I sleep. When I was at Walt Disney World in August, I was sleeping in my aunts room (yay extra beds!) and I was screaming "MOM!!!" really loud over and over again because I couldn't find her and I wanted to tell her that I got this big scholarship (part of my dream). I remember waking up once while screaming it, but I didn't realize I was doing it continuously throughout the night.

Your college probably has a student counseling center available for consultation at no cost. You could go there and see what they suggest.

When you sleep walk you're still within a state of R.E.M. sleep. It seems that your body is physically awake but your brain is still unconscious. My brother used to do this when he was younger, they always say funny/weird things.

Treatments for adult sleepwalkers often includes psychological treatment as well as relaxation techniques and sometimes requires anti-depressants to regulate the behavior. The difference in effective treatment from children to adult implies a different source for the disturbance. A more psychological or substance abuse-related set of causes seem to exist for adults.

Sleepwalking is a serious disorder for some and a mild annoyance for others. However, no matter whether it happens infrequently or often, there is the potential for harm to the person who is walking around without having full use of his brain's decision-making capabilities. The more common "type" of somnambulism, that affecting children, is less intrusive and goes away faster than the kind associated more with adults. This could be because the source is natural and a part of growing up and perhaps a part of the changing nature of the sleep patterns occurring during adolescence. Children grow out of their sleepwalking, but adults who suffer from it have in a way inflicted it on themselves or been influenced by the outside world. They then have to treat this other problem, such as a psychological problem, stress, or a drug habit, in order to get rid of the symptoms.
