just thought id share. anyone ever have anything similar happen???

Yes, about 10 years ago - girlfriend woke me up because I was pushing her away (not emotionally, mind you) with my hands around her neck.  About a month later, I verified she was cheating on me.  Rather than really choke her at that point, I used her spare car key (that she forgot I had) to move her car on a weekly basis for about a month just to mess with her.

That's funny!

All I know is RLS is real. Never ever had it before but I came down with it middle of last summer after all my neck surgeries. Just ask Jen. If I could beat it to sleep then all my twitching would drive her into the guest bedroom. If it hit me after she was asleep then I could never go to sleep. I would have to leave the bedroom. Some nights I would pace the house and wave my arms at the same time trying to make the muscles and nerves tired. Crazy stuff. My asshole of a neurosurgeon just blew me off and said "not my problem, see a neurologist". Not sure if he believed me, even with Jen sitting next to me telling him it was true.

My internal medicine doctor told me it can come from traumatic nerve injury or surgery. Ah, I guess I qualified for that! She prescribed Requip and it took a long time to finally stop. From July until November, maybe December. Stopped taking the Requip because it just went away. I bet it has happened only 2-3 times this whole year. It really sucked last year. Really weird how it only happens at night when you relax when trying to fall asleep. Never felt that way during the day, even when sitting still reading or watching TV. Wouldn't wish that craziness on anyone.

Used to do that same trick to my ex-wife when we were still married. Not out of meaness just for fun. I'd see her car at the grocery store and if it was headed into a parking spot I would turn it around and back it in. Or maybe move it over a couple of spots or to the next isle. She once worked semi near where I worked and the same "parking gremlin" would hit there also. Lots of good harmless fun. If I had a key to her car now I'd take it to south Dallas leave the key in the ignition and the door open.

My uncle still has what are called "night terrors", meaning that he'll think a dream is so real that he'll wake up (physically...mentally, he's still sound asleep and doesn't remember a thing) and perform an action of some sort, then go right back to sleep as if it never happened.  My aunt told me one where he woke her up at 4 am and all he said was "they have a gun, get out of bed and go sit on the couch and wait for me."  So she did, and he came and sat next to her for a minute, then they both went back to bed, and he woke up the next morning as if nothing had ever happened. 

Another true story is that when my uncle was in high school, his bed in his room was next to a window.  I say was, because one night he had another "night terror" where he was fighting someone, and put his hand through said window, requiring 14 stitches.

People do crazy stuff in their sleep.

I know that I used to get busted by my parents all the time for stuff because when I was younger I would answer questions in my sleep as if I were wide awake.  So if my parents wanted to know something, they'd wait til I fell asleep, then ask me about it.

OK that's just not fair! Your parents should either be ashamed or prosecuted! But then again.... hmmm. Colin's a heavy sleeper and I still want to know who put those dents in the sheetrock?? Hmmmm.

You are, of course, going to tell "them" about that when you go for your SSBI, right? ..?
