Night spazzing

So, remember how last time I said today's blog was going to make up for my blogfail? You should have known that was a lie. I mean, come on, it was obvious. You need to learn how to spot these things.

Anyway.

I do really weird stuff in my sleep. I've always been a crazy sleeper, but lately it seems like it's just getting weirder.

When I was a kid, I shared a room with my sister. We had a day bed, which meant we basically slept next to each other. I would constantly be throwing my arm out, whacking her in the chest or stomach. She would gently place my arm back on my side of the bed, and I would return the favor by back-handing her in the face. Some mornings I would wake up on the floor between our beds, having fallen through the crack without waking up. Half the time I'd wake up horizontal on my bed, if not having done a complete 180, my covers tangled wildly around me.

I've calmed down a lot in the past 9 or so years, but like I said, the night-spazzing is returning with a vengeance.

It all started about a month ago (if you read my regular blog, I'm sorry, you've already heard this story. You can skip to the next paragraph). I have Invisalign braces, which aren't terribly hard to take out, but they do take some maneuvering. One morning I woke up and realized something was amiss. I ran my tongue over my teeth several times, and finally came to the conclusion that my bottom set of braces were NOT IN MY MOUTH. I sat up, bemused, and discovered them on the floor next to my bed. They looked like they had been placed there on purpose.

A couple of weeks later, I woke up with a horrendously stiff neck. Why, you ask? Because I had picked an oddly shaped pillow off the floor and replaced it with my own. They were jammed up against each other, the deformed one up at a 45 degree angle to the wall.

Finally, two nights ago, I woke up with my head ON MY DESK. I should mention that my desk is about a foot taller than my bed. Oh, and my feet usually rest there. That's right, I'm back to pulling 180s. Which, you would think would take a lot more work, considering I'm about 3 feet taller and I now have a wall on one side.

I feel like I'm one step away from sleep walking. It's going to happen, and it's going to happen soon. I can feel it.


So I guess my question is: How do I stop being such a freak? I get so annoyed when I open my eyes to discover the next weird thing I've done.

Ok, I've officially used up any brain waves I had left tonight.
This BEDA thing is more challenging than I thought.
BUT THAT'S GOOD.

Live life. Be excited.
