Not a parent (yet), but I was a pretty freaky child.
Still do some odd things in my sleep, but I wasn't as bad as my oldest sister but that's due to something i'm not gonna talk about.
Anyways, I didn't have a full night's sleep until I was 2 years old.
Odd yes, creepy, no.
When I got to about 2, I began having night terrors.
My mom would come into my room and try to wake me up, but nothing worked.
Literally nothing.
I would always have the same, reoccuring nightmare that got longer and longer each night by just a few seconds.
I'll share the details if you want, but the night terrors went on for about 2 years, then stopped and just pure insomnia took its place.
Needless to say, I don't sleep well, but I'm not to the creepy part yet.
I'm a notorious sleep talker.
When I was younger, my sister passed by my bed to go to my dad's room (my parents were seperated and we lived with my dad).
I sat up, looked at her, and started singing that "I Love You" song from friggin Barney.
On another night, I yelled at my dad "Daddy! What's the green wire for?" His response: "What?" Min: "The green wire?! What is it for!?" He thought for a moment and finally responded: "It's usually a ground wire, why? Hello? Hello? Oh, dammit he's asleep."Another night, I was up later than anyone because I was just absorbed into his book.
All of a sudden, my bathroom light turns on.
Now, I can't see the bathroom from where I am, just the light from it being reflected on the kitchen wall.
I just think one of my sisters had woken up and went to the bathroom.
It was on for minutes, door never shut.
Just as I was about to get up and investigate, I heard noises.
I suppose you can say it was a language, but none that human vocal chords can reproduce.
First it was just one voice.
Then it was a second, completely different voice, same language.
They started getting louder and louder, then they started laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I didn't sleep that night.I'm currently in the Air Force.
In basic, I did odd things in my sleep like, getting out of bed, running into it several times, then doing a barrel roll, grabbing the blanket, and sleeping in the fetal position.
Or when I started asking one of my flightmates questions about California, which he happens to be from, but I didn't know I' be stationed in the very city I was asking him about.
Or when I got out of bed abruptly and started telling one of the guys to get ready cause they'd be here soon.
All he said is, "Go back to bed." And I did.
My old roommate has told me several times of my sleeptalking escapades.
I always need to do something, and on one occasion, I looked and him and started speaking to him in a language he's never heard.
Both of us are well versed in foreign language, myself knowing bits of Latin, Swahili, Japanese, Spanish, French, German (a lot), Farsi, Pashto, and just phrases from others.
It wasn't any of them.My fiance' recently visited me here.
I spent the weekend with her in the hotel, and she has never spent the night with me before.The first night went well cause I passed out drunk, so was she.
Second night, I got a little odd and got out of bed, took a piss, and walked back to the bed when she told me to wash my hands, thinking I was awake.
I growled at her and washed my hands.
3rd night, I did the same thing except I washed my hands.
That morning, she woke up before me and wanted to hold my hand as I slept.
As soon as she touched my hand, i turned to her and said in a menacing voice, "FUCK YOU I DON'T LOVE YOU" and turned over.
That's the exact opposite of how I feel about her.But every night, I'd fall asleep on the farthest end of the bed cause we both lik to sprawl out, but every morning, she'd wake up to my face right in hers.
I'm a strange one.
Diagnosed sleep apnea too, so I get to freak people out more when I stop breathing in my sleep.
Fun.On a final note, my now 12 y/
o brother, then about 3 or 4, was asked by my mom, "Why do you do stuff like this?" in reference to his maniacal behavior.
His response: "I'm sorry Mommy.
Sometimes my brain gets all wierd and I think I'm a Megazord and want to attack you."
