I'm sure most of you at one point in time have woken up in the morning to find that you've tossed a pillow off the bed, am I right? Maybe you've even kicked off your socks, taken off a shirt, etc.
As a kid, I was known to do stuff like that EVERY night. I'd wake up and I had taken off all but my underwear, my comforter was on the floor, and a pillow was clear across the room. Don't even ask me where the shirt went 'cause half the time it took a day or two to find it. I also moved around a lot in my sleep. Once, I woke up a complete 180 degrees from where I started - my feet were lying on my pillow and my head was under the covers at the end of the bed. Why?, I have no idea. One of my favorite positions to wake up in was a pretzel; apparently it's comfortable. Lastly, I also talk in my sleep though no one has obliged me with asking me questions when I do (I've always wondered what my subconscious would answer to some things).
Last night I added to the list of things I do when my subconscious takes over. I woke up this morning and noticed that I had a pair of green sweatpants on. My first thought was "I didn't put those on last night. I put on the plaid green pj bottoms." Wait a second... It was then that I noticed I still had the plaid pj bottoms on underneath the sweatpants. So instead of the typical removal of clothing, apparently my subconscious was cold last night and decided I needed a second pair of pants.
Some times I wish I had a video camera set up so I could watch myself do stuff like this - it baffles me!

That's hilarious. I am a nighttime clothes thrower too.
That is funny! Not sure how a bed partner will respond to all this craziness...but it would make for a funny blog post i am sure.
I've managed to punch myself in my sleep before, gave myself a bloody nose. I wonder if it's a sleep disorder, all the thrashing and such that you do?
@ Tonia and Kristin - I'm glad I'm not the only one.
@ Amanda - I have plenty of stories from when I was a kid where my dad tells me about how many times I kicked him in the night. My ex seemed to deal with it though she thought the talking was odd and folding into a pretzel was a bother because I'd pull the sheets down.
@ Kristin - If it's a sleep disorder, then let it be! In my experience, the nights when this stuff happens, I get the best sleep.
