#45: Sweet Dreams
One problem that partners of sleeptalkers or walkers experience is lack of sleep. Remember, when they get woken up by their sleepwalking partner, the other person is still fast asleep. After the incident, the person who woke them up just lays back down and continues with their sweet dreams. Sometimes it can be hard for their significant others to fall back asleep after being jolted awake.
This poor woman was startled awake one night when her partner was shouting that he couldn’t feel his arm. She calmly tried reasoning with him to calm him down, so she pointed out that he was pinching his pillow, not his arm. This backfired because he started freaking out that he had completely lost his arm. After a few more moments of reasoning with her sleeptalking partner, he said, “Okay,” and started snoring. She, on the other hand, couldn’t fall back asleep for another hour.
