Strangest thing your SO has ever done in their sleep?

After waking up to feed the LO and pump last night, I got back into bed and DH snuggled up to me. Nice to have some cuddle time together, right? About thirty minutes later I wake up due to a sharp pain in my shoulder. DH bit me! He immediately woke up and was very apologetic. Apparently he'd been having a dream where someone was trying to suffocate him and he attempted to bite their hand. He felt so bad, and continued to apologize profusely when he woke up this morning. I'm used to him mumbling really strange things in his sleep ("What do you wear on the porch on November 4th?"), but this is the first time he's ever sleep-bitten. 
So, what is the strangest thing your SO has ever done in their sleep?

Re: Strangest thing your SO has ever done in their sleep?
Wow! I can't say that I've ever been bitten!
During LO's first week of life, I woke up to find DH vigorously searching our bed, under the covers, under our dog. I asked, "What are you looking for?" In a very nervous tone, he said, "Where's the baby? i can't find the baby!" Crazy what slep deprivation can do to you!
OMG I'm crying I'm laughing so hard!!
My DH actually got up one morning around 2:45am and started getting dressed (his eyes were still closed and he almost fell over putting on his socks) I asked him what he was doing and he told me going to work. I informed him it was only 3 and he says in this little boy voice "so does that mean I don't have to go yet?" I told him to go back to bed he had plenty of time to sleep. He woke up later to actually go to work and had no recolection that he had gotten up.
He also asks me lots of weird questions in his sleep.
One other night he asked me where DS was? I said asleep...and his response was in his bed? So my answer was no on the roof...and he says "oh okay good" and rolled back over... (DS has slept in his crib from day 1 and no where else)
I could make a list of the funny things DH does in his sleep! We've had whole conversations that he can't remember. One night, he woke up and looked at me, dead-serious and said, "I'm just not happy with the direction my life is going in the U.S. Navy." and went back to sleep. Note: he's not in the Navy.
Then one night he was dreaming and kept saying something about maps in a box. I shook him and said, "Honey, who are you talking to?" He opened his eyes and said, "The maps. Go get...you don't work here! Why am I telling you this?" lol
The latest one was this morning at about 3:30. DS was crying and I woke DH up and said, "Honey, the baby is awake." He gets up, walks over to the monitor and looks at him, then comes around to my side of the bed (where I am laying) and tries to get back into bed on MY side! I woke up and said, "D what are you doing?" he said, "The baby...he's crying..." I sat up and said, "Yeah. He's crying...do you want me to go feed him?" He said no and walked out of the bedroom mumbling something about me hogging the bed. lol
I'm loving all of these stories! That one though, cracks me up the most. At least we married men who can keep us entertained.
I try not to give DH too hard of a time about his nighttime exploits because when I was a little kid my parents once found me in their closet with my pants down trying to take a pee. The bathroom was on the exact opposite side of the wall as their closet and I had sleepwalked from the top bunk of my bed into their room. So if I were to tease him too much, I know that story would be brought up. My family has never let me live it down!
The other night he woke up and started "calming us" shh, you're okay, pat pat... I guess he startled awake and thought the baby was crying (which he wasn't)... nice that was his first instinct though.

DH always talks in his sleep, then gets mad at me when I don't know what he is talking about.
A few weeks ago though, we were sleep facing each other, I woke up because he was shaking my sholder. He woke me to tell me we had to get the letter P. I know it had something to do with the baby, just not sure what.
Too funny that yours did this, too!! My DH peed on his own nightstand once AND on the chest of blankets at the foot of the bed that our dog slept on top of. Poor puppy jumped off his dog bed on top of the chest and ran around to my side of the bed. I woke up yelling at DH "What the hel! are you doing? You're peeing everywhere?" to which he replied "Don't worry. I'll clean it up tomorrow." D@mn right, you will. And he did. Poor puppy's bed had to be washed, too.
DH is also a big-time sleep talker, so that can be hilarious.
My FI has always been bad about grinding his teeth, smacking his lips/gums like a friggin cow, and talking in his sleep about random nonsense. But it got even better when we brought A home. I told him before we had her that under NO circumstances did I want either of us to fall asleep in bed with her b/c I don't trust us. Our bed is small and we're both weird sleepers and sleep like rocks.
So when we bring her home from the hospital, we stuck to this "rule" of ours. I fall asleep w/her in the rocker sometimes, but that's ok with me b/c I can't roll over on her, and I'm reclined enough to not feel like I may drop her.
ANYWAY, the first couple of weeks I would get done feeding and rocking her in the middle of the night, and as I would come back to bed FI would stir a little. Well, he sleeps with a big body pillow everynight, and as he rolls over he takes it w/him. When I'd accidentally wake him up, it would be on top of him and he would start rubbing it and patting it as if it were her, LOL! One time he even looked at me, saw that I was holding her, and checked under his blanket to look at "her" and kept rubbing/patting it... I gave him a hard time about it (mostly just joking w/him) and he hasn't done it recently...
Bahahaha that is freaking awesome!
DH does the grinding teeth thing too. It drives me nuts!
THIS! My H is a big wierdo when it comes to waking him up. He opens his eyes all huge and has this "Whats wrong!" look on his face, Hysterical!
