Sleep Support

I started working at an ISP in April 2004. Since then, I've began talking in my sleep, attempting to solve imaginary problems, and creating a lot of laughter in the processes. Two examples:

Me, still living at my parents house, sound asleep after back to back overnight (1:30am to 10:30am) shifts, staying late on both. My brother knocks on the door, I mumble to come in.
H=Him
M=Me

H: Dude, you got any shorts I can borrow?
M: I dunno man, their probably getting caught in our spam filter.
H: What?
M: Have them send a message to <address> and I'll whitelist the server
H: What the hell are you talking about?
M (now actually awake): Dude, what are you talking about? Why did you wake me up?

I have no memory of any of that conversation up until the last line. Two days ago I had another episode. No longer living at home, I crashed after a couple of long shifts. G=Girlfriend
M=Me (again, sound asleep)

G: Do we have any more milk?
M: I'm not sure, let me check...

Minutes go by with my laying face down on the floor, her staring at me

G: Well?
M: I'm not sure right now, I'll open a trouble ticket with our provider.
G: (kicks me in the side) You aren't at work
M: Huh? (again, waking up)

I'm horrible 🙁

OH man, that is AWESOME!

I don't sleep talk but you wouldn't want to know what would come outta my mouth.
 
I once came out of my room and my grandfater was sitting in his chair watching TV and I stood there looking at him mumbling radom things about 24 frags. I was talking about the game Quake in my sleep 🙂
He had no idea what I was talking about and told me to go back to bed.
 
When I used to sell magazines door to door, I think pretty much everyone there did a sales pitch in their sleep at least once. It was funny... since we all stayed 3-4 people to a hotel room, there were always people around, so when you found someone doing it, you could really mess with them and go along with it.
 
When I was in college I worked at a seafood restuarant, when I worked a lot of hours in the summer, I'd wake up at night spouting out orders "2 Fried Shrimp, 2 lobs, grilled Sword, and a Salmon salad!"

A few days after I got out of bootcamp, I woke up and kept calling for firewatch, trying to figure out why it was so dark.
 
It's not enough that they buy all your waking hours. Now they get your dreams for free. (A mangled quote from "Waking Life")
 
Oh yeah, my mom also told me that when I was a kid, she was walking by my room one night whilst I was sleeping and found that I was sitting upright (still asleep) reciting my multiplication tables.
