What Does YOUR Husband Do in His Sleep?!

Right after we got married we Chris was going to school and working as a furniture guy at Fujitsu. So in his sleep he'd talk about fixing desks or whatever. One morning I got out of the shower and he was laughing out loud. I was like what's so funny? We were using a headboard from a friend that had posts on it. When he awoke he realized that the post was on the floor.
He'd unscrewed the bed post in his sleep. We had a good laugh.
Every now and then when something is weighing heavily on his mind I'll hear about it in the middle of the night. During optometry school when they had lists of 80 drugs to memorize he might repeat those while he snoozed, or do equations/formulas out loud. Sometimes I can't quite understand what he's saying so I'll ask him to repeat himself...but he won't do it!
So, I think it was Tuesday night I'd gotten up around 2am to calm Austin down. He'd had a rough time getting back on a good sleep schedule after the ear infections. I started laying back in bed and Chris says (and I quote) 'SO TELL ME, ARE YOU GAY?' I giggled for a minute and asked him why he was asking me that. He then talked about how a guy he'd gone biking with a few days before was shopping around for new rims for his bike. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I busted out laughing. He 'came to' and knew EXACTLY what he'd just asked/told me and we had a good laugh. Of course he didn't know WHY he asked me that, but it was hilarious. If I didn't know my husband I might get offended by that question. I've never been asked that!!!

So funny! My husband just mutters in his sleep but I often find him sleeping with his fist in his eye and his elbow pointing straight up to the ceiling! It looks pretty funny. I sould take a picture.

Thanks for reminding me about the bed post story. That made me laugh.

You forgot him playing the guitar!!! Thanks for the laugh...unfortuantly I am the one that does stuff in my sleep. Aaron said i was making hand puppets the other night when he came to bed!

That's much more entertaining than my husband's snoring...how funny! He's said a few things in his sleep, but it's nothing compared to Chris' episodes!

That's hilarious! I'm the one who talks in my sleep. I can totally relate to him waking up knowing what he'd said but not having a clue as to why. Its the weirdest feeling.

Crystal said...

Oh my! So he carries on conversations with you while asleep?? That would be fun to play around with.

My Chris does crazy things too. Lately he'll throw the covers off the bed, jump up, turn the light on, and look for spiders that he thinks are in the bed. He gets really worked up and I have to re-assure him there are no spiders and then he's fine. It's happened 3 times now and he never remembers it in the morning. I guess he has a hidden phobia of spiders.

That is great! I love it. Ryan just karatie chops me in his sleep while dreaming of defending me. Somehow, I don't think it counts as to nice of a thought since I get woken up with a big wack, and then Ryan rolls over and shakes with laughter that it's happend yet again. So funny.

That's hilarious! Jer talks in his sleep too. Most of the time I can't figure out what he is saying though because it is so mumbled up. Thanks for sharing the story it made my day.

That is so funny! Ryan just snores in his sleep!

And to answer your questions about Emme's bedding, I got it at West Point Stevens Outlet in Allen like two months before I moved to Amarillo. It has been sitting in her closet just waiting to be used!

Emily said...

Hilarious! You gotta love a good talk-in-their-sleep story. We've got a few gems.

who knew that so many people talk in their sleep. much to my dismay, i have become one of them. apparently, my 1st episode was last week-"is it gonna hurt?" who knows what i was thinking, but if you're dirty minded then you may know what i dream about!!

That is so HILARIOUS!

David mutters in his sleep occasionally and I am always perking up to try and hear something interesting but it is always unintelligible! Dang!

Allison @ Allie Browns Layouts said...

Haha! That was hilarious! Totally reminds me of Loren. I'll have to post one of his funny comments from his sleep on my blog. I had a friend who bought a table that in the middle of the night she found her husband putting it together--in his sleep! He was halfway through it!

Poor Chris. Elliott is just as bad though. For one he takes up the whole bed and covers and moves like crazy, even hitting, two he snores, and then he talks in his sleep. Anytime I hear him talking I say what, or laugh at him, and then there is no response. So funny.
