This freaked me out!
I wouldn’t say I’m a very controlling person, but I think it is natural to want to control your own body. Wouldn’t you agree? I am in Washington D.C. this week to visit a friend and after a long day of museum hopping I gladly tucked in for a good nights sleep. I woke up about 2:30 am to discover that there was a light shining in the room. I couldn’t figure out why and realized after a sleepy minute that the shades were open. When I tried to close them I found an obstruction…there was a pillow propped up in the window. That’s strange, I’m sure that pillow was behind my head when I went to sleep, and now that I think about it I’m sure the shades were shut. I retrieved the pillow and repeated to myself, “It’s fine, just stay in bed. It’s fine, just stay in bed.” When I came downstairs in the morning I explained to my friend what I experienced and she said, “Yes, I was awake at that time, too, and thought I heard you walk down the hallway.” OK. Now I’m really freaking out. You mean I was “Sleepwalking”? I’ve never done that before. Or have I? After a couple of phone calls and a Wikkipedia search, I discovered that it can sometimes happen if you are under stress or in a new situation. Particularly if you are quite tired. So I’m trying to not freak out so much, but it’s still a very weird feeling. I think I will repeat myself to sleep with a, “Stay in bed! Suzy, Stay in bed!
