Thought this was really wierd and really funny.

Came down to the basement to find my roommate happily eating and swallowing the keys off my laptop computer. When i commented on it she told me not to drive my car in the clouds. LOL

Obviously she was sleepwalking but when i woke her she couldnt remember any details about whatever she was dreaming about.

I have since locked away all my small electronics to avoid having to have them removed from her stomach.


Just thought it was hilarious.

My old laptop had enough crumbs and crud in the keys that your roommate could probably have gotten enough life-sustaining nutrients to live for a month. Wouldn't have been very tasty though.

Definitely weird, I'm not sure about the funny.

At first I didnt think it was funny either. I was really worried that she would get sick but after a few days with no ill effects I was able to see the humor in it.

This remind of the dreams I used to have eating Legos.

How about the dream about eating the giant marshmallows and finding your pillow missing in the morning? ;)

@MechTech - Even if the keyboard pieces aren't physically harmful to your roommate, if they make a habit of eating such objects when they sleep walk, they really need to get help for that, before they cause themselves some serious harm.

I had to take a med for a while that had sleep walking as a side effect. Woke up one morning and my front teeth were aching! Went into my livingroom and there I found this 2 inch think decorative candle I had that was candycane colored with the end bitten off. (and spit out) I had to go to the doc after that and ask for a new med, and he agreed. I knew I was sleep eating because I was finding my kitchen counter full of opened half eaten cans of food. That was just the last straw.

We got talking about sleep walking when I was in basic training. One of the drill sergeants said when he was in basic there was a small, but really athletic looking guy rocking back and forth in the middle of the hallway. his hands were up like he was holing something, or maybe ready to fight. The DS said that his barracks were basically just a very long room with 25 beds down each side, and this guy was about in the middle of them all. He asked the guy why he was out of bed. They guy tole him that if he made this one, he'd have the new record. In the split second it took to realize the guy was asleep and grab him, the guy was off like a shot. There was just enough light to see him plant his imaginary pole vault pole and run face first into the lockers at the far end. He never woke up, just staggered back to bed and went right on sleeping.

I've had four dreams where I know I was physically acting out what was happening. In one, the car drove by the court and threw a volleyball out the window. Our team had to get it back across the street. The first two guys hit it poorly and it was about go through the basketball hoop. The only way I could save it was to jump 10 feet straight up, and spin 360 degrees to catch it with a roundhouse kick. Back in the real world, I drove my foot into the wall beside the bed, which scared the cat, which dug her claws into what she was laying one to get traction to escape. What she was laying on was the GF's side. We were able to account for every claw on that cat by looking as her side from ribs to hip. That's not the one I feel the worst about.

2 other times I was dreaming I was having a fight. Both times, I did a technique in the dream that ended up with me really hitting her. A third time she woke up and I was opening and closing my fist right above her head. I'm kind of afraid to sleep in the same bed with her now. It's never her I'm fighting in my dreams, but she's the one that is most likely to take the beating if it happens again. Fortunately? Our sleep schedules are opposite, so it rare were actually sleeping at the same time.

Had a friend do that once. Took her to the emergency room where she was diagnosed as having qwertytis. The cure, fortunately, was alimentary.

ROFLMAO

That was Hilarious. Seriously tho I have talked to her about going to the doc but she insists it isnt a big deal. I have decided to lock and bolt all the doors in the house before going to bed as I am afraid I will wake up to find her walking down the highway one day.

I cant get over how much they look and act as tho they are awake. Its not untill she does something strange that I even know she is asleep.

Now the real question is, did you take pictures or video of her doing it? Odds are she would deny it (until the proof came out in the end, of course).

I've only gotten my wife drunk once in 24 years of marriage. She said some very funny things. I (also quite lubricated) had the good sense to record what she was saying ("My lips are thick") and played it back to her the next day. Unfortunately, I didn't have good enough sense to make copies of the tape. It soon disappeared, never to be seen again.

Are you sure she's asleep and not just releasing some frustrations?

She doesn't seem to remember doing it in the morning.

Yes, your Honor, I'm not guilty because I don't remember doing it.

I'll have to try that one.

Sounds disgusting, but advertising is everything. Market it as "Computer Trail Mix" and get rich quick.
