sounds dangerous - synystar, on 08/20/2008, -1/+22My dad had a much worse problem for the last few years of his life. Sleep-smoking. I know how unbelievable this sounds, but my Mom was forced to purchase fire-proof rugs for the areas around his favorite chair, the living room couch, and the bed they had purchased when he got sick. She said she would sometimes walk into the room to find a lit cigarette in his ashtray and one in his hand -- and him asleep. She had seen him light a cigarette without ever waking up. She would just take it out of his hand and put it out.
I pleaded with her to take the cigarettes away...he was going to burn the house down. I couldn't understand how she didn't think that his and her lives were in grave danger. But he would throw a fit if she did, and as kind a man as he was throughout his life, she said he would become a monster if he couldn't have a cigarette. He smoked 2-3 packs of non-filter Camels a day.
Towards the end of his life he would wear only the clothes that already had multiple burn holes so that he didn't ruin his good clothes. The fireproof rugs had dozens of inch long burn marks. He caught his hair on fire one night, and a couple of months before he died, the blanket he had draped over his legs caught fire and amazingly he was left with only a very large third-degree burn on his left leg.
He died of multiple myeloma, a form of bone cancer. He lived with emphysema for more than a decade. Smoking kills. - 2h3px, on 08/21/2008, -2/+15Damn it, I was kinda hoping for Bel-Air.
- rojano17, on 08/20/2008, -11/+22Is it me or do Americans come up with a new excuse for being fat every week?
- Br3ach, on 08/20/2008, -2/+9That is actually scary, people with this will not limit themselves to just normal food. The part of the brain that controls your higher reasoning skills is still asleep, so your free ranging motion center of the brain is doing all the thinking. So, while this is happening you wont know the difference between chocolate cake or a tasty bottle of Draino
- ZER0JACK, on 08/20/2008, -2/+8,.urr gay .anff ah fagg it,.
- noseeme, on 08/20/2008, -1/+6I could go for a cat food sandwich right now.
- gestalt, on 08/20/2008, -2/+7Actually, it is. Parasomniacs do not observe any dietary restrictions when they engage in compulsive behaviors. Imagine being diabetic or having food allergies. They could easily throw themselves into diabetic or anaphylactic shock without being aware.
- mnortei, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4Sorry about your dad
- Mrdudeperson, on 08/20/2008, -3/+7I wounder if that means there's sleep crapping.
- inactive, on 08/20/2008, -1/+5Yet another way to strike fear in the hearts of American people.
- o0dhacker0o, on 08/20/2008, -1/+4RTFA!
We don't take kindly to your types 'round here... - Mrdudeperson, on 08/20/2008, -1/+4I'll take the risk, If I do die please attend my funeral.
- clumsytime, on 08/21/2008, -0/+3Was it any good?
- blipblipbeep, on 08/21/2008, -1/+4 Well i was taking this pharmaceutical drug called "stillnox". My doctor had prescribed them to me because i was having trouble sleeping. He gave me a one month script. Within a fortnight i had been busted sleep eating. This has never happened before and the only major change in my life was the "stillnox" I decided to investigate and wouldn't you know it one of the side affects happens to be sleep eating. Oh, did i mention sleep cooking? WTF!??? So i decide to stop taking the "stillnox" then I became ill and irritable, once again the only thing to change in my life was the fact that i stopped taking "stillnox". So i looked it up. low and behold there it was quite conveniently hidden within all the smallish written warnings "you must consult your doctor before discontinuing this medication.", ie, It may screw with your head if you haven't weened yourself off the damn things.
well I stayed off the meds.
So i stopped putting verbs at the end of sleep. Guess i just have to put up with 4 to 6 every night.
Love mode... Beep! - ptsuk, on 08/21/2008, -1/+3Other disorders scarier than you thought:
SRMD (Sleep Related Masturbating Disorder) Nuff Said.
SRCD (Sleep Related Clubbing Disorder) Where you go out and get ur grove on while sleeping.
SRGD (Sleep Related Gaming Disorder) Where you play your fave game while sleeping, video or otherwise.
SRSD (Sleep Related Swimming Disorder) Where you swim and sleep
SRWD (Sleep Related Working Disorder) Where you work and sleep (and don't get paid)
and the last:
SRDPD (Sleep Related Digg Posting Disorder) Where you do what i'm doing while sleeping. - siandt, on 08/21/2008, -1/+3Your username is evil. Evil, I say.
- mofw, on 08/20/2008, -1/+3And delicious!
- heyblue, on 08/21/2008, -1/+3zzzzzzzz....brainzzzzzz....nomnomnom.....brainzzzzzzz
- 2h3px, on 08/21/2008, -1/+3Dude must be a chubby chaser, otherwise he would've locked the damn fridge a while ago
- imakecomments, on 08/21/2008, -0/+2Well, I *did* let him get away with "shiney"... :D
- Br3ach, on 08/20/2008, -1/+3Are you saying you just fap from the time you get up to the time you go to sleep?
- 3sicasity, on 08/20/2008, -1/+3that doesn't apply to diggers
- EskNerd, on 08/21/2008, -0/+2I think maybe I've got The Eatening.
- BillOReilly08, on 08/20/2008, -3/+5Really not an excuse for being fat...
- Residents, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1When I was about 5 I woke up with my dad yelling at me cause I was peeing in the kitchen trash can that was no where near the bathroom (twice on 2 separate occasions). Not quite the same thing, but people really can't help some of these things. That's what I learned from it.
- rojano17, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1I don't mean her, i mean Americans as a society seem to come up with excuses for their behaviour all the time, brats now have ADD, socially inept people now have asperger's. I'm sure it won't be long before they come up with an excuse for being obese. It's no coincidence that the fast-food nation is getting larger and larger, just take a look at countries which base their meals around vegetables and fruits, not quite the same situation huh?
- Archer007, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1Sandviches are good.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1Wow they are friggin zombies. Shouldn't there be a way to lock yourself inside your room though? That's what i'd do.
- Majora26, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1SRGD
When i was younger i was at a friends house for the night. In the middle of the night he gets up and runs downstairs and starts playing super smash bros.... it was freaking weird - inactive, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1I bet people in Africa don't have this problem.
- worldnick, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1What's with all the pop ups on ABC news. Normal pop-ups are ok -I guess- but hidden ones when you click in the text area?? That is pretty trashy. Yeah sleep eating, great why don't they figure out how to make you sleep exercise.
- iamh2, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1into a cup?
- eklipsse, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1Well, even if they do, they are TRYING to sleep-eat but there is no food around. No food, no harm.
- minorgods, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1from the article: "But somehow, even though Koechler ate in her sleep for two decades, she didn't gain extra weight."
Now the other woman from the pics... that's an entirely different story. :) - else7en, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1buried anecdotal probably junk science
- Escamotage, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1I'm using that excuse as to why I'm a fat *****.
Cynics unite. - manogamez, on 08/21/2008, -1/+2So why can't these people just lock the fridge and cabinets at night and put the key in some kind of puzzle box? Their higher function should be off so getting the key should be impossible. Am I missing something?
- blipblipbeep, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1The worst thing was if you didn't fall asleep within 15 mins of taking the drug, You may as well stay up. so you had to train your self to go to sleep when they made you feel a certain way. like sleepy which is what i used to do to fall asleep????

Framing?
Farming?

I don't get it. - M724, on 08/23/2008, -0/+1I once ended up speed-phonecalling a friend. Something about a light bulb needing to be replaced.
- Darkaged, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1I like what LostTheGame is doing around here. He's everything that Diggers hate.
