      I love how this forum is developing into a fantastic resource of information and support for insomniacs. I thought we'd start a thread that was a little more light-hearted so it doesn't become too doom and gloom.

      Do you have any funny stories associated with your insomnia? I appreciate that insomnia itself isn't funny, but I'm sure we could all share a few things we've done as a result of our insomnia that are pretty funny.

      So, who is going to go first?

      If you are ready to stop struggling with insomnia you can enroll in the online insomnia coaching course right now! If you would prefer ongoing phone or video coaching calls as part of a powerful three month program that will help you reclaim your life from insomnia, consider applying for the Insomnia Clarity program.

          Oh Martin how you make perfect posts that I can easily fill an entire book with!

          The most recent one was Jessica and I were having a video chat and we both never had sleep for about 32 hours or so and were in pain because of our leg problem and this was like 3 am here I live and 6 pm where she lived. We were sitting there and she's like what are you staring at with such intensity besides me hun? jkjk, and I was like I noticed that your puppy is in your room across from where you are(she was in the the rec room) and she said yeah she went in like an hour ago and I said yeah she's peeing on your bed it looks like, and the sheer look of terror on her face was priceless, she let out a scream and ran to her room and all I could hear was her screaming “My new bed spread, how could you! How would you like it if I peed in your bed!?” I was sitting there roaring my arse off, and she came back and was like don't laugh it's not funny franky! and I said oh but it is, you're too cute babe.

          what made it even better was her dad walked in and was like I heard screaming what's going on and she explained and he looked at her patted her on the head and took the mic and said to me “Please marry my daughter so she's out of my hair! Do you want me to pay for the wedding, I'll sign the papers now since she's only 17, come take her!” I was like oh you're a funny man!

            LOl,

            franky that is so funny…. So now u have dad's approval When is the wedding?

            I have many stories I could write a book.

            One night I woke up at 2 am it often happens and it was warm, I decided to go outside and watch the stars. At about 4am

            I decided to go back in, but to my horror I had I locked myself out,

            I started tapping the door, nothing , then pounding the door nothing. Everyone seemed dead to the noise..so I decided to climb the tree next to my house to see if I could reach the open window. I”m not the quietest person and by this time my next door neighbor got up.

            I'm up in the tree , not overly dressed and he points a flash light at me.. and says, “What are you doing”?

            I replied “I'm looking for my cat” and he said you don't have a cat?

            he shook his head and left and I continued on. The next day I had a visit from my neighbor and I had to explain everything.

            We now keep a spare key hidden outsideblink.gif

                  One night, I was offered a bed at a friend's house while she was away. I was lying awake (as usual) when her flatmate walked in and proceeded to get into bed with me! I'd heard tales about him being a sleepwalker, but I wasn't sure if he was actually asleep or if he was trying it on. Anyhoo, I jumped out as he got in and after a few minutes of watching him get comfy and then start to snore, I went to sleep on the couch.

                  The following morning, he greeted me with a cup of tea and apologised explaining that regardless of what meaures he took to stay in his room, he was regularly waking up to find himself in my friend's bed – next to my friend! So far (and this had been going on for a couple of months) he'd managed to escape her room at some point without her knowing. But up until then, he'd been too embarassed to admit to it.

                  Later, when he did confess all (much to the absolute horror of my mate), it turned out the rest of the household were all aware of his nightly visits to her room, but we're also too embarassed to mention it believing there was some kind of “arrangement” between the two of them.

                  You couldn't make it up 😀
