Jan 9 2010

"Oompa loompas don't sing in heaven. They tidy up the clouds."

"Legs time! Everybody get your legs!"

"Get stuck in."

"Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!"

"You can stop clapping now if you want. Really. You'll need your energy for cheering me later. Shhhhhhhh. shhhhhhhh."

[yelled upon waking] "COCK HUNTER!"


Karen's note: This was all early in the morning. The batteries had run out on the recorder, so it was like the old days, I was furiously typing, trying to keep up. I'm pretty sure that's the "clapping" that Adam was referring to. So, meanwhile, I'm still typing my brains out, and he's going "Shhhhhhhh. shhhhhhh."

Also, just after he shouted "COCK HUNTER" and woke up, he looked at me with fear in his eyes and said, "um, did I just shout cock hunter?" It's been worrying him ever since.

  3. OMG. My brother has found a kindered spirit in STM! Sometimes when he sleep talks I say something back and he replies.

    Him: Cousins...
    Me: Which cousins?
    Him: The ones we wanted to kill! Worms.
    Me:...
    Him: I need to do my homework.

  7. I have to say. I'm bound to visit daily...great stuff...my best friend did utter one time while sleeping.." Are you sure you don't want to use that bath tub...it seems to be the most invisible"...Dreamland sounds facinating...I hope your hubby never develops insomnia...we will all be sad...

  9. Once when I was staying with my mum and a teammate in a hotel before a volleyball game, my teammate and I carried on a complete conversation about going to Hawaii in our sleep. My mother said it was hilarious...

    Teammate: Where should we go?
    Me: Hawaii
    Teammate: Why there?
    Me: Warmer than here, damn.
    Teammate: Cold here.
    Me: What about the game?
    Teammate: Screw it....

    Apparently this went on for like 15 minutes. My mum got tired of writing it all down. The funny thing is we were in Southern California in July and it was 110 degrees Fahrenheit...

  12. Entertaining as this blog is and how outrageous some of the night-time comments of your husband, I think, and you are, of course, quite entitled to disagree, or even tell me to 'go away' in the strongest terms, that what happens in anyone's bedroom should stay there.

    To be quite honest, this blog makes me feel very uncomfortable.

    Best regards to you both.

  13. This entire fantasy reads like a subpar Young Ones script. Either you're incredibly selective about what you post (because it's not going to be 100% lulz every time he closes his eyes), or you're hoping for a big reveal that will get you some kind of fame/writing contract. If you actually put some effort into it you could potentially come up with something amusing, but as it is you're coming off as a seventeen year old who's just had their first taste of Alexei Sayle.

  16. My wife used to talk rubbish in her sleep but unfortunately seems to have stopped. I still tease her about 'Oh No! Not the penguins!'

    ReplyDelete
  17. It doesn't sound to me as if your husband knows about this blog. Which could be a big problem for you both, especially him. I hope that's not a real photo of him. Did you know that the www is, um, world wide? and public?

    ReplyDelete
  18. There are quite a few sleep talkers in my family, so this seems plausible to me. I don't think my mom ever said anything in her sleep that wasn't really zany.

    My sister has had entire conversations with people in her sleep, some fairly normal, but usually kinda off in some way.

    I'm more of a sleep mumbler, so no lulz from me, sadly!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Okay I've read the FAQs now, you sit together and listen to the recordings so I assume he also knows about the blog and is cool with it. The comments he makes are priceless. It would just suck if he didn't realise they were going online. But if he wants to see one of the tshirts walking past him... then he must know about the blog. Right?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Can't wait till he starts mouthing off about his wife or maybe starts talking about his girlfriend...then there might be a final end to these shanaigans. Just because there is a recording doesn't necessarily make it a fact. This seems to follow in with the "shit my dad says"....just trying to ride the money train....

    ReplyDelete
  21. Lol i absolutely LOVE this made my day lol

    ReplyDelete
  22. Jeez some people.. you know if you don't think its real, go read something else!

    Ive enough first hand experience of the things people can do in their sleep to believe this is real. My mum used to talk about stuff, sadly I really can't remember much but one recurring theme was the 'cheese factory' which concerned her greatly. Most of what she said was proper words and sentences, just nonsensical stuff/hilarious stuff, often quite aggressive as well.

    We also used to have to chase her down the street because she was capable of unlocking the front door (even if she had to get the keys from somewhere else and put the right key in!) and going outside, from there she would either try to get in her van!!! or try to get into other peoples houses.

    I have also had semi sensible conversations with several friends before realising they are totally asleep - one friend lit and smoked a cigarette in her sleep!

    Anyway I am loving this, keep it up!

  26. Wow - I now read this 1st thing when I get up and I dread the morning when he hasn't sleeptalked!

    PLEASE ignore any nasty and disparaging messages - you are providing something hilarious here and its such an original idea.

    Thanks so much and happy snoozing.

  27. Fucking hilarious! I woke up extra early this morning to see what he's said today! I love you guys! Keep it going! This is a way to brighten my day even when my heart has been broken! Thank you!

  36. STM is fantastic, and I think the people who make disparaging remarks are merely jealous of the goldmine of posts you hace coming from your, frankly, adorable husband each night. Keep it up it made me laugh so much. REad the positive comments and bin the negative, they are just sad people with no concept of joy.

    ReplyDelete
  37. my ex had parasomnia, where he would talk or get up, seemingly awake, but not. nothing quite THIS funny happened when i was sleeping with him, but i do remember one time he sat straight up, thought he was driving a car, and was very upset because he had to figure out what kind of car it was so he could tell his boss. he works at Enterprise, which is a car rental agency. it took me a few minutes to convince him he wasn't at work, and then he went right back to sleep.

    :-D i kinda love this blog now. def adding it to my favorites!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Besides tshirts, a daily desktop calendar would be great! This stuff is a great way to start your day! Freakin Hilarious!!

    This is fab and I salute you, and Adam. Long may he shout in his sleep. Oh, and this is much funnier than the Young Ones.

  51. My husband has an alter-ego when he sleeps as well (normally a quiet super polite guy), not just talking, but sometimes jumping out of bed & freaking me out. Now I'm SO happy to find out I'm not the only wife who puts up with it, this just really encouraged me to just see the humor in it, and possibly record it as well for future laughs. Too bad he's so embarassed of it! THANKS again for the awesome blog!!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. This blog is awesome, and for all the uptight people with the negative comments, they need to get a sense of humor, as long as your husband is cool with it this just an AWESOME BLOG! Plus, look at the nifty community of sleeptalkers you have created, people now have a place to feel at home with their crazy stories!

  65. This blog is brilliant. I'm brand new to the world of blogging and already I've found a gem. I showed this blog to my boyfriend to stop him complaining about my night time chatter.

    So far the only night musings of mine he can currently remember are:

    "Nothing is covered in potatos!"

    "Frying pan ... FRYING PAN"

    And the rather spookly prophetic ...
    "Beware the pregnant lady" - said whilst unknowingly five weeks pregnant.

    Keep them coming.

  83. One time, my husband woke up to me saying repeatedly and insistantly:

    "Take it...TAKE IT...Come ON, TAKE IT!"

    I had lifted a heavy picture off the wall above our bed and although I was lying down, I was holding it up and over to him (I guess I was redecorating in my sleep)

    It was years before we agreed that I could hang another picture over the bed!

    (hey, this is going on MY blog!) LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Oh, My, Word!

    Hysterical!

    This has the ring of truth to me, when I was younger, my sister would discuss her dreams at the breakfast table. We would sit there, jaws on the table, wondering what kind of weird creature had replaced our sibling. Her stories had the same strange, almost logical, flavor to them.

  100. Hillarious! This is such an insight into the wierd crap we all dream. It is so funny because it is so true when you are with a sleep talker you lie there and think how hysterical it all is and you are desperate to tell someone or to hit them!

  110. For all the non-believers:

    As someone who pretty much never talks in my sleep (as far as I know) and doesn't really know anyone who does (coherently), I can see why you would be doubtful. But one time I was extremely tired and was sleeping in the car while my mom was driving, with the directions to where we were going in my hand. She asked for them and I told her I didn't know where they were, getting louder and more frustrated the more she asked, to the point where I was waving my hand with them around yelling "I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY ARE"

    She grabbed hold of my arm and shook me until I woke up, and I have absolutely no memory of the incident, and this is from someone who doesn't regularly sleep-talk whatsoever. So think what you want, but it certainly is (physically) possible. Furthermore, if is IS made up, Karen is obviously quite creative. I don't see the point in hating :P

    ReplyDelete
  111. Okay - it's official. Your hubby is the new replacement for Simon Cowell on American Idol! It's in his DNA or he wouldn't say have that wild stuff in his sleep (a time that the "other than conscious mind" is at work). Auditions should be coming up soon.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Just to add to the chorus of well-wishers, I like the blog. My wife also sleep talks - she's usually not as silly as your husband, but it is a fascinating phenomenon. It is funny how fantasies about aggression come out, or how they try to make "sleep jokes."

    The one thing I'd suggest is start editing out the really banal ones.

  123. You guys are awesome. My husband talks in his sleep but the funniest thing he has said was "Its not so much a purse as it is a bag... its just got so much material." He said this during the first night we ever spent together (well the first night sleeping anyway haha.I know, too much information.) I was immediatly worried that he might be secretly homosexual.

    This site is great. It brightened up my gloomy day. Thank you so much, Keep posting. I hope you guys make a lot of money off this because making people laugh is a great service!
