I make noises when I sleep, evidently quite a bit depending on the night. I have been told I moan, snore, whimper and many other things. I was told last week that I screamed. Truthfully, I've always had sleep issues. When I was little I used to walk in my sleep, even going so far as out the front door. As I got older, I walked less and talked more. I also remember having terrible nightmares and never wanting to go to sleep. Someone once told me they think my sleep issues are psychologically based. Isn't that a frightening thought?!
Last night I decided to do something about my noises...or something to start doing something. I decided to videotape myself sleeping. I figure I need to at least hear what other people are experiencing. The downside is that I only had about 55 minutes of tape to spare, so I only caught the first hour of sleep. Here's a recap of what I heard: shift, shift, heavy breathing, couple of light snorts, a moan at minute 18:18, heavy breathing, and some soft snoring. Last night must have been an easy night. I think I'm going to record myself every night this week to see if it changes. Maybe I'll even vary my sleep position. At the very least it's an interesting experiment.
You must have subsonciously not moaned bc you knew you were taping yourself.
ReplyDeletei think scarlet's right. I also think that you should let US videotape YOU when you're sleeping, because obviously we would get the real deal.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to videotape myself, too. I do know that I sleep a lot less freely when other people are around. That's why I never want to sleep other places, bc I know I won't rest as well. But in my own room with the door closed? I wonder what I do and if I make sounds.
ReplyDeletethat is an interesting experiment. albeit weird. what if you tape the sounds of little night-elves scurrying about?
ReplyDeleteand yeah, i think Scarlet may be on to something
OMG...last night was a completely different story. I haven't listened to the whole hour yet, but I start off with the moaning pretty quick. Somewhere between orgasm and fear. Weird!
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea, but something tells me I would just be gaining one more thing to feel insecure about :)
