Hungry in the Dark (login fedup@mailinator.com/fedup)

quote:
Nearly all sleep eaters show a preference for food high in carbohydrates and sugar that is sometimes consumed in a sloppy frenzy. (Doctors say they have never heard of anyone making a beeline for salad in the middle of the night.) And there's no explanation why some patients try to cook, while others concoct bizarre creations like salt sandwiches or buttered cigarettes.

Some patients try to cook?! Wow, that's pretty amazing.

Me, I can pour a cup of milk just by the light of the fridge, but even then I'm awake.

Sadly, sleepwalking is a scary phenomenon. A good friend's mom died when I was in middle school because she fell down the stairs while sleepwalking.
