Odd DH behavior

hellopoppyseed · April 2010

Last night at 1:30am, my dh sat straight up in bed. I said, "is everything ok?" and he said, "I feel like everything is falling on me." I said, "what?" and he said, "like basketballs (are falling on me)". Mmmmmmm K. Then he went back to sleep. This morning he had no recollection of this but he said he didn't fall asleep till midnight because he was excited about the game. Strange! Once, while sleeping, dh got his arm underneath our headboard, lifted it up and it came off the wall. He helped me put it back on the wall and didn't remember any of it. Any strange behavior from your dh's ?

lol- your DH sounds like me. I say A LOT of very strange things in my sleep- even though DH says i am totally awake. I remember none of it. ~ last time i did it- DH told me that i said, 'the cats are smiling- awwww look they are smiling at me.' -- DH LOOOOOOVES when i talk in my sleep. He says he holds full conversations with me and all. And then he tells me in the morning- and i think he is a perfect liar. (except another BF told me i did the same exact stuff lol)

this is so funny... just 2 nights ago my DH starting patting down the bed in the middle of the night and when i asked him what he was doing he told me that he was trying to check his email! lol

DH does the same thing! His Dad does too! He will sit up in bed and say the most bizarre things. He actually woke me up one night to tell me a story that was crazy. It was a list of things we had to do the next day, including "air drying the dog on the roof, but he was worried her hips would hurt from the ladder".

Hahaha! These stories are SO funny. Keep posting.

I actually did lol. too funny.

I love these. My DH will do these things too ... good to know other husbands do these things. I do talk in my sleep sometimes, although I think I do this less now than when I was younger - maybe because I sleep less now! ha.

I do know when I was 7.5 months pregnant (and huge & it was Easter weekend & my shoes stopped fitting after flying to VA) my husband was living on site for his job. The first nite I was there to visit, it was soo dark in the room. I got up & of course I was sore and stiff and so I was walking real slow & stopped by the door to dig out something I wanted (chapstick?).

DH sits straight up and says (in his normal loud voice which scared the heck out of me in the middle of the night) "do you want a flashlight?". No, thank you. 2 seconds later - "do you want a flashlight". No, thank you. a couple more seconds..."do you want a flashlight" NO! Go back to sleep. Lays down, rolls over, then says "do you want a flashlight". AHHHHH. I finally told him "yes, to hit you with so you will stop talking". Then he said "ok" and went back to sleep.

We still throw out a "do you want a flashlight" every once in awhile.

I don't talk in my sleep, but I do walk in my sleep on occasion. We keep our bedroom door locked and if I open it sleepwalking, it makes a loud noise so it will wake my DH up. We started doing this after I started sleep walking one night and went into the kitchen, took the dishes out of the sink (including steak knives) and put them on the dining room table. DH was afraid I might stab him while sleep walking one night, lol.

I'll fess up one and embarrass myself. A few years ago, I was working 6a-4pm as a subway manager, then going to class from 5-9. I was a zombie mess from lack of sleep. I would make sandwiches in my sleep. I would know I was at home in bed, but my brain was all over the place, and I was making invisible sandwiches with my hands and saying all the ingredients, even miming cutting them in half and wrapping the damn things up. My bf would wake me up and be like, "uhhh, you thought you were at work again!"

I have one that almost ended DH's and my relationship before it really began...

We had been dating for less than two months and we went for a roadtrip in my '74 VW bus. We were in a teeny-tiny rural town with a sort of disturbing history...about thirty years earlier, someone had killed about half of the town (7 people) and the state troopers couldn't get there to arrest him, so they told the townspeople to "take care of it."

Anyway, I was sleeping in the bus next to (now) DH. I opened my eyes, looked at him, and said in a perfectly calm and clear voice, "I'm going to cut you up into little pieces and put you under my bus."

DH said he slept with one eye open that night. It was a good thing he had heard me talk in my sleep before.

This reminded me of when ds was a newborn. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and clutch my boob thinking it was ds sleeping on my chest. I would try to rouse him and feel under his nose (my nipple) for breath. I would go to the pantry to turn on a light and find just me standing there. I didn't wake up until that point. It scared me everytime. Then I'd go see ds sleeping peacefully in his crib.

It was either Kennicott or McCarthy, Alaska. They are right at the edge of Wrangle-St. Elias National Park. During the winter, the road isn't maintained, so they don't have road access to the rest of the world. Well, that was my understanding in 2001.

I haven't laughed this hard in years. I really needed that. Thank you.

OMG. I laughed so hard that I doubled over, almost fell out of my chair. It sounded like I was sobbing.

The last time I laughed that hard was when I broke a bottle of nail polish and didn't clean it up right away. My husband and I started cracking up over nothing. Then we realized that we were high on the nail polish!

haha, my DH laughs in his sleep often!

tabi_ja · April 2010

When we were first married, my DH once sat straight up in bed and said, "I have the answer!" And then went right back to sleep. When I told him about it in the morning, he said he was disappointed that he didn't remember the question.

The funniest story, though, is one DH tells about his college roommate. When they were living in the dorms, DH was up one night finishing homework after his roommate had gone to sleep. Out of nowhere, the roommate sat up, and in a very calm voice said, "No, no. Don't bother. I'll kill them." and then went straight back to sleep. DH said he didn't sleep that night, but the roommate has no recollection of this at all.
