Woke Up And Don't Remember A Thing - Is This Normal?

by Jasmina
(Colarodo)

A few days ago i was getting ready to order some Chinese food before my little brother, i didn't know what i wanted so i got up to put the money and menu on the kitchen counter and once i put it down everything just turned black then i woke up somewhere in the middle of the night to find myself in my bed with no pants on so i put some on and went back to sleep. Then i woke up again at 9 in the morning and went to the bathroom only to find the pants i was wearing folded neatly with my glasses on top.


So i asked my mom what happened because i didn't remember anything that happened after putting the money on the counter,she said that i wasn't answering the door for my Chinese food so the Chinese place called their phone, then they tried calling me but i wasn't answering so they came home early, and found me asleep on the floor with no pants on, half bitten cherries in the hall way and kitchen, the kitchen light on and bathroom sink running, so they woke me up and i was awake so they lead me to my bunk bed and i almost slipped, she said that i was awake before they left and talking but i don't remember anything after putting the money on the counter. Also she said it looked like i was wide awake the whole time.

 Shut down in the middle of the day
by: Hawkmoon

That's an amazing story, so you basically shut down in the middle of regular day? Did you have any sleep related troubles before that day, or sustained some injury or trauma? What did your brother do while you were asleep on the floor? Your neatly folded pants and glasses suggest you took them off by yourself, but you have no recollection about that? That would suggest a case of dreamwalking, but still something triggered your brain shut down. In any case i would try to repeat that same activity (this time with some adult around) to see if same thing can happen again.

 Somehow same experience
by: Anonymous

I slept around 11 pm last night and my friends are still awake watching tv series. The next day, out of nowhere my friend told me that last night I turn off the electric fan because I was so cold but I can't even remember a thing that I did that. She said I was wide awake and ranting about cold. Oh, that wasn't me. What the hell is that?

 I did the same thing, not sure if it's normal though either
by: David

I use the iPhone app sleep cycle and it's pretty accurate and I trust it but this morning it said I got up at 6 am and my mom wakes me up at 6:30 everyday for school and saw that I wasn't in bed asuming I was taking a shower. I don't remember getting up either and the top of my invisaline for my teeth was not there when I did wake up at 7:50 and my mom was furious at me because I have 4 alarms that go off, and they were all set off besides sleep cycle (I use spinme and the stock iPhone alarm to assure I get up) Obviously I got up and didn't rememer a thing and I think this happens a lot to me, I'm wondering if I should go see a doctor.

 whats going on?
by: Anonymous

So, this hasn't been going on for too long, but every morning, my dad is always telling me "Why did you have the lights on last night?" Obviously I'm a bit spooked because I didn't remember waking up or anything. He said that he came in my room around 3 am and told me to go back to sleep, but told me I didn't say anything, that I was just sitting up looking up at the wall. This has been going on for a few days, does anyone know what's happening?

 the year 2000
by: Anonymous

before I tell you my story I should first say that this happen when i was 4-5 during the year 2000. since I was at a young age, my memories at that time may not be valid proof to some people, however the memories of that day NEVER faded only because this day was strange enough not to forget. I was 4 years old I woke up in my bunk bed but did not remember anything from the day before, as if it was erased from my memories. at that time i could recall everything of my past except the day before. I realized this the moment I woke up, I immediately got out off my bed scared at the fact that i don't know how I got there. seeing how my brother was asleep I went to my older sister asking what happen yesterday she said something to me but I could not fully understand her at the time but I new if I did, it still would not trigger any memories of yesterday. I went to my parents who were farthest away from my room and ask the same question, only to get an answer that did not satisfied me. The only answer I understand is the fact that my family was with me that day and that nothing strange happen according to them. "is there anyone else who had a similar experienced during the year 2000 and can recall the reaction you had? I know after reading this most may think I am crazy person but for some reason I am curious of the year 2000 and the connection it might have to my story.

 I don't remember waking up
by: Anonymous

Ok so, I woke up today really late and I was confused because I asked my mum to wake me up early so I went out my room and she asked how long id been awake and I said a few minutes so she called me something along the lines of lazy (I dont remember what she said) so I asked her why didn't you wake me up and she said she did. I told her she can't have because I have no memory of her waking me up yet she insists she did. Why do I have no memory of this? This isn't the first time.

 losing memory between sleep
by: Anonymous

Sometimes i sleep with my lamp turned on, but then i woke up with it turned off. I locked my room most of the time, so it is impossible that somebody else did it. Sometimes, i even wake up with the lamps turned on when i remember it was off. My mother used to wake me up, she said i woke up angry and say not so nice things. But i don't remember any of this. I do this a lot.. i said or do things i don't remember doing when i was woken up abruptly

 Think I'm a bit crazy
by: Anonymous

Okay, so a few years ago, my mom would wake me up every morning. One morning she woke me up later than usual and said she was about to leave, why wasn't I up. I was confused and she said she woke me up earlier and I sat up and looked at her. Awake. I had no memory of that. It happened like twice. But I just brushed it off. I woke up this morning with the first thought of I didn't set my alarm. So I started to do that. Then I realized I didn't have any memories of the night before. Then I remembered I took a nap 12 hours before. Haha, right? The creepy thing is I remember falling asleep on top of the blanket but I was under it. No biggy. Haha. When I get home from school I ask my mom why she didn't wake me up. She said I got up and went into the kitchen and she asked me to fry my brother an egg. Then I rolled my eyes and left, not making it. Which makes no sense because no matter how tired I am, I would cook. I love it. And I have no idea what she was talking about because, now that I think about it, remember something about a fried egg. Just the word as if it was spoken in a dream. Nothing else. What the heck happened?

 Retrograde Amnesia
by: PhoenixNation

The occurence of sleep appears to close the gate between short-term memory and long-term memory. All information in short-term memory storage at the onset of sleep apparently fades away. Accordingly, although one is unequivocally aware of the environment (perceiving) before falling asleep, these perceptions are usually lost from memory because they are not transferred into more permanent memory storage.

 same thing just happened to me
by: Anonymous

I was up late last night working on some school work and when I finished I checked a few of my apps but I can't remember a thing after that. I just "woke up" a few minutes ago with my phone in my hands and it was on. I don't ever remember waking up so I sort of started freaking out because it was 5:43 am, worried that I didnt get any sleep on a school day, but I'm wide awake?

 Weird night.
by: Anonymous

So before I start I have to give you background info. I have a puppy that gets locked down at night when everyone goes to bed. I also don't really have a door in my room so I put a baby gate up at night for other irrelevant reasons. So last night I think I let my dog out while asleep and put him in my bed with me as I woke up this morning to get him out only to find out he was already in my bed. He couldn't have escaped the kennel we put him in and he wouldn't be able to get into my room anyway. Has anyone else had this happen?

So today I was sick from school with a stomach
flu. I can't remember anything except walking up the stairs in my house to get to my room. After that though it all goes blank. When I woke up I was very disoriented and it was dark out so I had no idea what time or day it was. The lights were on down stairs so I went down stairs. The clock said it was 8:30 pm. I asked my mom what day it was she said Tuesday. I was in shock because I went to sleep on monday at 3:30ish.

If anybody can tell me what this is please comment.:)

 Happened when I was a kid
by: CharuCHS

I can still remember the days when I woke up in a place and can't remember anything. I have a field trip and I'm with my grandma. When I was with the teachers, it turned black and then I woke up inside the bus alone. I was 6 or 7 that time. It happened more than thrice...

There's also this time when I me and my classmates we're celebrating a birthday, then it turned black again. I woke up inside the classroom, still celebrating a birthday... But they said that it's my birthday! So many months have passed?! I completely wasted some of my time... I wish it happened when I'm 12 years old until I graduate so that I won't have to study and stuff. Hehe... But it stopped when I was about 8 or 9.

I was born on Sept. 2000 and still looking for answers... Is this normal or what?

 They Say It's Retrograde Amnesia
by: Scarlet

This is my story...
When I was a kid, we have tons of problems and when I try to help, they shout at me or do horrible stuff. My dad is short tempered and when he's mad, he yells at the person he's talking to and say heartbreaking stuff. My grandmother will try to lock you in a room or harm you if you make her mad if a child is bothering her.

Since I'm just 3 or 4 years old, I tried keeping it to myself because I'm an only child when I was young, but I have a lil bro now so things changed. I kept it to myself because I know that if I try to tell something, they might ask why I wanted to get involved in this and might harm me or anything. I was just a small child during those times, I'm alone and helpless. When I started growing up, whenever I encounter stuff similar to the things that happened to me back then, I'm already in panic and don't know what to do. One day, I was with my classmates and then out of nowhere, I woke up in a place, and can't remember what happened. I thought its normal, but it started to come back more often.

It almost took over my entire body, not knowing what to do, I got bullied alot and I hear gossiping people near me whenever I walk by them. But I started to fit in and didn't mind what happened to me. Few years have passed, and it didn't came back. I was free, but I can't recall any of my childhood. There are pictures in my photo album that I can't recall. I just remembered that this thing happened so I searched google. People say it's Retrograde Amnesia, but there's still no official cure, but there are still some theories present and might help regain the things we don't recall.

 Lost Time
by: Haven

The last thing I remember from last night is putting shampoo in my hair while showering, after that everything goes blank. I "woke up" around 2 am underneath a tree outside my dorm, my legs and feet covered in mud, wearing boxers and a t-shirt. I have no idea how I got there or what I did during the time I was out. I've dissociated before and I've also lost time, but never to that extent. I'm scared it will happen again.

 I don't know
by: Anonymous

So ever since I was little, whenever I got creeped out I would sleep with a certain lamp on. Sometimes I wake up and it's still on, but most of the time when i wake up, it's off. I'm sure it's me turning it off at night, but I can't remember doing it. It's weird.

 Don't Remember Waking Up
by: Anonymous

So it's New Years Eve and I have no clue why I am stuck spending it on my own. My mom had to work today until about 7 and my step dad is sick in bed. My aunt was having a big party at her place and it was planned that my mom would wake me up this morning and drive me over before her shift at work started since she didn't want me to spend it stuck at home. Well, last night, I had trouble sleeping and watched a few movies to get me tired. Knowing I had to get up around 0600, I didn't end up falling asleep until 0230. I woke up at 1500 which I think is extremely weird since I normally can't sleep more than about 7 to 8 hours. I texted my mom and asked why she hadn't woke me up. She swore she did multiple times and that I even opened the door to my bedroom for her when she knocked. I kept going back to bed so she decided to just go to work. I have no memory of her waking me up or opening the door. Have no clue what's going on. Just hoping I don't have to spend my New Years stuck in the house.

 Kinda scary NEW
by: Crystal

So here is my story:

I'm 14 right now and last year I was 13. My dadd is a truck driver who drives around the country, and I went on the truck for the last 3 summers. So, we were this one state and i had taken a nap at like 1:30 pm. The next day my dadd said he woke me up and told me to move over so he can go to sleep. And by then is was 10:40 pm. So he said to me that when he woke me up, i was looking around like i was scared and didn't know where or who i was with and that i was hyperventilating. He said to me also he was yelling very loud because i wasn't listening to him. And while he was telling me all of this, i had no clue what he was talking about. Then he said to me that the same exact things were happening like 2 or 3 times a week for a month. Then when i got home back from the summer vacation, my momm was telling me the same things 2 or 3 times a week like on the truck. This is scary. What do i do???

 Me Too... NEW

Just happened this morning(about 5:00) to me my dad said he woke me up when i dont remember anything from when he woke me up (about a 3 hour span because school was delayed which i still dont remember happening/hearing).
Apparently i had slept in till about 12 so school was out of the question and also i went to bed at 7:00 last night because it was a school night.This is not the first time it has happened either, one day i was in school and I remember reading a book I remember everything about the book but after that its just a black hole in my memory for about a week, this has happened about 15 times (that i remember).

 I don't remember why I did that NEW

This morning my dad woke me up to sign a card for my Mother since it's Mother's Day. I said "ok" and then he told me I asked him how to spell the word portrait. I don't remember even asking him that and even though he spelled it for me I wrote "potrrtait". I'm in highschool so I think I know how to spell by now, but I have no idea or memory of signing the card. Also the other day my dad woke me up for school at 6:30 and I asked him "can I have cereal". I went back to sleep after that and woke up at 7:25 and asked him why he didn't wake me up. He said I had asked for cereal then went back to sleep. I have no memory of this and I'm really confused...btw my name isn't portrait and it doesn't even have any of those letters in it so i don't know why I asked how to spell that.

So this morning I woke up at 6:00 AM and I have completely forgotten everything. I had no idea what day it was, why I was awake, what my name was, how I ended up in my bed; nothing. I knew nothing and I couldn't think like I know it may sound dumb but I really couldn't think or remember anything, my mind was gone. I fell back asleep and I woke up at 6:33 AM and I still couldn't remember what day it was and why I'm awake, I was trying to remember what day it was and nothing came to me in mind so I fell back asleep till later on I woke up and I was perfectly fine. Is this normal?? I freaked out pretty bad not knowing anything. I couldn't even remember my own name.

I went to sleep one night and woke up having to go to the bathroom while I was standing, EXTREMELY disoriented and sleepy. I didn't even know where I was, but I ran into a counter. After about 5 minutes of putting my hands on the wall, I found a light switch, and turned it on. It turned on the fan in the bathroom, by then I realized I was in the bathroom. So I turned the light on and used the restroom and then went back to bed. It was about 4:00 AM when I was in the bathroom standing. I had no memories of getting up. I just woke up standing disoriented in a bathroom. Convenient though, considering I really had to use the restroom.

 This is the wierdest thing NEW
by: Anonymous

I have been awake for long periods of time due to work and have slept only 3 to 4 hours every day. It turns out that yesterday I was really tired and decided to sleep fully and without interruption. My neighbor was doing something at his home and they were making a lot of noise. My wife tells me that I woke up, opened the door and complained about it. She tells me I was rude and used a strong language. I can't recall a single thing about this, but seriously nothing at all. Morever, I am usually fairly respectful and IF I complain at all I do it politely. So I don't understand both things, why was I so mad that I forgot my manners and behaved like a chimpanzee? And how is it possible that I don't remember anything at all? I am waiting to see my neighbor today to apologize of course because, well, I feel terrible.

So what happened to me is differnt.I remember waking up twice. seeing my boyfriends brother coming in the door and then seeing my boyfriend on my phone by me in our bed and him going in and out to smoke.when I opened my eyes 2 hours before I had to go to work I saw my boyfriend glaring at me with the look of hate.I asked him what was wrong and he said if were going to talk about it go sit in the car so I did at like 3am to not wake his family up.so we go and he tells me that he was holding me and I reach out with my leg and foot to touch his brother on his inner thigh as he described to me right below his male part.he said i was smiling and his brother kinda smirked and said woe.I didnt remember doing that or when my boyfriend said he jerked me back and said he put his hand on my chin and gave me a serious look.I dont recall that either.im not attracted to his brother in anyway so I dont know why I would do that.my boyfriend is the love of my life.its hurts me to think that I did this and right after we were having a great day and he even showed me birthday gifts to see if I would like them and he even made q trust chart for us to come up with ways to build trust by doing things like going to the park.so yall see why im upset.we live in a small camper With his mom and brother before anyone bashes about why they were going in and out of our bedroom door its right next to our bed to go outside.anyway the thought of me hurting my boyfriend at all has me feeling suicidal.im not on drugs.if anyone knows what this could be or why it happened please let me know and I dont want it to happen again.if thers help let me know please.

 Can't remember how I got there, or what happened NEW
by: Katana

I already posted here, but my case added up. When I was a kid, I had a traumatic experience (and I don't want to post it here) then after that, they kept on doing it over and over, until things started to happen.

I can't remember most of my childhood, and I can assure you that I could count the memories I have back then. I can remember them until now because those memories are literally the only ones I can remember before I wake up into another place. They say that my eye color change into Gray or more of a color of a Metal whenever I this happens. They say it's quite odd that whenever they talk to me, my eye color changes in a blink of an eye, but they just ignore it.

This kept on occuring for years, I dunno when it started, but I am sure it started happening when I was at kindergarten. Huh, being a kid, I thought it was normal, but then I realize that something is wrong when I was already at grade three on a bus. I remember that I was talking with someone then poof, complete blur then I wake up, everyone is outside. Then when everyone is inside, my grandma told me that I was out for half an hour.

There are some pictures in my photo album which I can't remember, and the color of my eye is literally gray or metal, and no it's not about the flash on a camera, because there's no flash on our cellphones before.

 The one last dream!? NEW
by: Anonymous

One day I woke up and something clicked inside my brain. I could not remember the day before or any days before that really. I was maybe about 5 or 6 and I could not remember my childhood ( really my babyhood). It was really wierd because to this day (and I am now 11) I can still remember the last dream I had before I clicked and forgot everything. But something that is even wierder is the dream I had! I was in a giant building made of blocks and my job was to stay in my room and when the doorbell rang I was to go get the door. So this part is weird I looked at the screen I have to see who was outside and it was the despicable me crew. Even though the movie was not out yet. I went down to let them in and I opened the door and it was just a man with random kids and I closed the door and left. The. Going back up I got lost and this golden retriever came out of nowhere and helped me back to my room. Weirdest thing in the world!

 I always do this... NEW
by: Maggie

So, I think I'm a heavy sleeper considering I pretty much sleep anywhere whether that be a movie theatre with my friends or a couch or my desk. So sometimes if I'm watching TV or studying, I fall asleep and then my mom or my brother tries to wake me up. Then in the morning, I don't recall waking up in the middle of the night. Also sometimes, they would say I was yelling or screaming at them when they tried to wake up. I always don't remember doing that either. This scenario has happened before (like once a week possibly) in which I yell when I'm woken up and then I don't remember in the morning. I'm not sure if this is confusion arousal but if someone thinks they might know what it is, please comment what you think it might be. I'm going to university next year and I don't want to still be having this problem.

All of your comments are sort of relatable but not exactly like mine. My mom wakes me up everyday for school. One night I go to sleep at 4. I remember opening my eyes seeing that it is morning and thinking it is to early for school. I go back to sleep and wake up at 11. I call my mom to ask her why she didn't wake me up? and she says I woke up went to bathroom and came back to sleep. I told her I don't remember this and she thinks I'm making a excuse to not go to school when I'm not I really can't remember. This has been happening a lot and only on school days I don't want to miss school but if this happens what can I do?

Ok so my Mom will wake me up and I will say something or she'll ask me a question. Then she'll leave my room and I will fall back asleep. She'll then come to my room and yell at me because I didn't wake up or I will come downstairs and she'll have a breakfast out for me that I don't want or something and she will tell me that I asked for that or that I told her I would wake up.

 Almost the same thing? NEW
by: Anonymous

For the last couple of days, I have been waking up in the middle of the night (12 am to 4 am) with no memory of my previous afternoon. Since I have been known to faint and pass out, the first time this happened, I just assumed I had fainted. I was with a childhood friend, last I had remembered. So I texted them something along the lines of "Sorry for the trouble". And they proceeded to ask me what trouble? Now usually if I had fainted they would've said something like "Nah, It's fine". They proceeded to tell me that i had hung out with them all afternoon, and gone home. I later asked my older brother who said I had come home, made dinner, had a full conversation with him about a tv show, taken a shower, and gone to bed. I don't remember any of this and it's been happening for the last three days? Today, when i woke up i remembered even less of the day??? Help??

 Never remember sleeping NEW
by: Daven

So here's some back story, I'm very depressed and have a lot of social anxiety so I started taking medicine for making me get over these issues, I think it's some variation of Prozac, however of course I've been smoking a lot of weed with it. Anyways onto my issue. I already had a lot of issues with getting to sleep before hand so now this is really odd, So I try going to sleep- which of course takes a while. Well in the middle of all the tossing and turning somehow at 12am when I remember when I'm trying to fall asleep, it's suddenly 6 or 7 am on my phone. Which where I live the suns not up just then so then I start asking people around me and they can verify the time and all that. It's weird because I don't feel fatigued or tired. Just like now I don't have to deal with sleeping. So in some way it's nice for me. Also nothing else happens along side it, I wake up with memory that I was trying to fall asleep and wake up in that same exact spot obviously having never moved from it, just never remembering that I had fallen asleep or woken up, somewhat feeling like I jumped through time and skipped 6-7 hours of the world.

So last night I was face timing my boyfriend, and he told me this morning that I had a huge headache and started crying in the middle of the night, but I don't remember a thing. Then he starts telling me that I got up around 3 looked at him and walked out of my room and didn't come back until a few hours. Next, he starts saying that I kept waking up and just saying weird things to him and I have no idea what he is talking about. Is it normal to not remember anything about that night?

 I sometimes lose hours and days. NEW
by: Anonymous

Mine isn't really about sleep. It's very hard to explain. It had stopped for a long period of time except for a handful of random events.
In the last few months I anonymously confided in a stranger online about things that happened to me as a child. Now the gaps of memory are happening again. I feel like I am going crazy.
I went shopping yesterday in a town far from my home.I remember going there, I remember looking through clothes then I was in a restaurant restroom and I'm not sure how much time had passed. I went from there back to a family members house and felt confused but had to act like nothing had happened because this family member is older and not well and the last thing I was is for her to worry about me.
Later I remember saying good bye and getting into my car to leave and nothing else. When I woke up this morning I had clothes already with tags removed and put away in my closet. I don't even remember selecting them or know if I tried them on. I don't remember paying for then though I had to have because I have the bill for them.
What is terrifying is that I drove home alone, a 2 hour drive. I have no memory of that.
I have no memory of so much but no one I spoke to has indicated anything unusual happened.
I was not drinking or taking any medications, but I do take pills to help me sleep, they are only melatonin though.
It's really awkward if it snap back with people around me because I am not sure what we are saying or doing when it happens.
When I was around 9 something very bad happened to me and I gaped out of time and lost more than a week of time. Had no idea what I did during that time.
When it has happened to me I more recently I have looked up things like multi-personality disorder. But I'm not sure that this fits, people around me do not seem to be aware of it if it does. Or maybe they are too polite to tell me, I'm not sure.
I do not hear voices, or have any memory whatsoever of anything that occurred during the memory gaps.
I can't really tell anyone about this happening because I am certain they would think I was crazy.
I really believe I have gotten over the events of my childhood. I have distanced myself from everyone involved. When I confide in this person who is online I never go into detail.
Mostly because it's shameful to me but also because some of those events I was only partially aware of.
Once I snapped back while driving and had no idea where I was going but I was somewhere between Buffalo NY and NYC.
My events are not regarding sleep though I do not sleep more than 3-4 hours a night. Never have.
Has anyone else experienced what I described?
I would be very interested in hearing about them and also if you've found a way to make it stop.
Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

 I tried to kill my brother NEW
by: Ezra Alexander

This happened yesterday night Oct 8 2017. But i have to tell you about the day before . I usually have a habit of not sleeping on sunday nights . I also have problems with sleeping. I stay with my laptop atleast 8 hours a day and practice muusic the other times . So i didnt sleep the night before sunday . I went to church came back at noon and went to sleep . I woke up at 8pm & had my dinner while i was watching The Dark tower . By the half of the movie , i was feeling dizzy and so i decided to go and sleep . When the next moment i opened my eyes . I saw myself standing in the Hall , My whole family was just looking at me with fear and my dad was trying to talk to me . I asked why am i here what happen . Then my brother said that i tried to kill him . I woke from the bed while my brother was watching some movie on the laptop . I had this fierce look in my eyes he said and then I i screamed persistently loud
and tried to choke him . He escaped and ran to the hall and my dad try to get a hold of me while i was still screaming and trying to attack . Now that part was my family's side of the story . This is my side , I had a dream that i was being abducted and i was trying to fight back in the dream and then in the dream , i wake up and see my brother . But i was certain that it was not my brother and was something i dont know . And thats i tried to fight . My whole family was scared of me that night and the next day . Except for my dad . My mom thought i was someone else and was almost crying . I have a feeling this incident had something to so with my subconscious mind waking up out of no-where . Like my body suddenly responding to it . And while my sub conscious mind was in action , my conscious mind was still asleep . And woke up when my dad caught hold of me and shouted wake up! . This is not the first time my sub-conscious tried to take control . But this has been the worse so far . I'm one of those people who understands how a mind works and i like to harness those abilities into skills . I've been doing that since i was 12 . Trying to remember every little detail in my dreams , Using my minds capacity to a full extent . To not just solve problems but create things . I'm a musician , an aspiring artist. I write songs that make me express my past and present situations . Someday , if you get to read this ... Just know that dont take this seriously . Just enjoy life , its the best and sometimes the worst :p . I just wanted to share this incident .-.

 physically conscious but not mentally? NEW
by: Anonymous

I remember passing out after 12midnight on video call. I wake up at 7.44am, I see my laptop is asleep. I turn it on, Login Page appears. so I log in. I turn on my phone (it was charging) and tell him what happened. Windows Update. Then I see the missed call spam, even on Facebook Messenger. And a message from him at 7.36am, after all the missed calls, saying good morning. When my laptop finally loads in I call him. We end up arguing for a good bit about what the hell happened between the time the call was ended (3.36am), to the missed calls, to what he saw me do right before the call was ended, til the time I finally woke up and saw all these. When I logged back in the laptop, it said it did Windows Updates. my suspicion is i "woke up" (but really still asleep). he says i sat up a bit and he spoke to me but i did not answer, i sighed (which is weird 'cause I always respond -- unless I'm asleep), i was also trying to type something (but it doesn't show me having sent anything anywhere???, so we suspect maybe i was just pressing Enter or some shit), and then i ended call???

for more than an hour he was trying to call back. my laptop had logged me out and my phone wasn't yet turned back on from charging (it died the night before). fml. suffice to say he was pissed at me, and it didn't help that he didn't get sleep and he was freaking out a bit. i feel bad for him and pissed at my physical body.

I remember none of this. all i know in my conscious mind is that I passed out after 12.27am and woke up at 7.44am. I had a bite and we both chilled before passing out again for a bit. he woke up before me.

so now i'm lowkey creeped out, and also annoyed that even in my sleep i can fuck shit up. what the hell?

My sister has been telling me recently that every night we watch a few episodes of Gilmore girls, I always remember turning it on but when I get up in the morning I don't remember anything from the episode. I always just assumed I fell asleep really early. My sister insists that I watch two to three episodes with her and laugh and make comments the entire time and then fall asleep when she turns the tv off. I really don't remember any of this and I don't know what's happening. I've noticed this about movies as well, she constantly talks about certain movies saying she watched them with me, but I don't ever recall actually watching them but only talking about watching them. I always thought she was lying to me but I'm slowing starting to realize that there's no reason she'd lie about this, and it's actually true.

But i swear on everything-i try to act as right and good as i can.Seems that one song "her sees you when you're sleeping he knows when ur awake..."etc might have truth to it. Cuz these spells and occasions of 'blacking out/ losing time' are NOT normal.what if ur driving, at a party with a bunch of ppl,on vacation and separated from your family? If it goes down like that,ur screwed ur family even worse off. guilt worry stress=death.the irony this time- my lil code word i have to type you post this is Grinch!

This actually happened very recently which is why I'm here... I wanted to know what happened or if it's common. So last night I went to sleep before my sister and we share a bunk bed. She sleeps on top, I'm on the bottom. So apparently she reached down to get her phone charger (around 1 am) and I rolled over really fast. She said i was looking up at her, she thought I was awake, and she thought it was because she woke me up. So she touched my arm and apparently I spat the word dont at her. I dont remember being awake at all but she seriously thought I was. What's happening?

Something similar happened to me last night actually. I went to bed at around midnight and slept really well. When I woke up, my roommate (we share a room in a 1 bedroom apartment) told me she was sorry for waking me up last night. I don't remember waking up at all. She said she woke me up to ask if she could use my extension cord because I was laying on it a bit, and that I looked scared when I woke up. I had a similar thing happen when I was growing up. My mom told me I would wake up, walk into her room and talk to her at like 2am. I'm just kind of wondering why/how this is happening I guess?

 Carbon monoxide poisoning??? NEW
by: Anonymous

This is not a normal sleep issue!!! It sounds like you have might have a problem with carbon monoxide in your house. Poisoning from carbon monoxide can make you forget things, make you pass out randomly, give you headaches, etc. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm in your home!

 Waking up NEW
by: Anonymous

A few weeks ago I woke up to get to school and heard my mom saying my name. I asked her if something was wrong and she said "around 5am you woke up to get ready but didn't get your school outfit on". Okay that was weird because I was half naked when I woke up, she told me I was wide awake even though I don't remember what the flip she was talking about. This keeps happening every now and again can someone please help me with this issue.🙂

So I went to bed last night and this morning I woke up and my parents said that I was silently crying. My mom asked me questions about my dream and wrote them on a email. This morning when she showed me there was nothing there only the tile. Then she saved the draft and we looked for it but it wasn’t there? Creepy, my dad said I’m talking to ghosts or contacting the spirits.??????????????????????????????

 dont remember anything NEW
by: me too

Something like that happened to me too and it freaked me out when I heard about it. A few nights ago I put on a mask and fell asleep with it on. I then remember my mom entering the room rambling on about something and I remember telling her not to stress. I then went to my room, but from then onwards I dont remember anything. I found out though that later on in the night my mom came to my room to blow off the candle and apparently I jolted upwards and started to say to her " you scared me, " you're so scary." and then apparently my mum had to calm me down and patted my head because I sounded genuinely scared. but the thing is I dont remember any of this at all.
