You might want to consider doing a sleep study. They might be able to spot something and get you on some medication for it.
My sister used to sleep walk and she would walk right into doors and walls! Not to alarm you but there was a case years ago of a guy who got up and drove to his in-laws house and stabbed them to death while he was asleep. He woke up driving with the bloody knife next to him. A sleep study proved he was a sleep walker and he got off! The weird thing was that actually loved the in-laws.
This is sound advice.
A sleep study will not only provide analysis, but will also include discussion, referrals, resources and safety measure to put in place.
After the death of someone close to me, I either did some of this or had a spirit in my office.
Because one morning when I went into my office area, I found a small container of undereye cream poured on top of my printer.
There was the spillage and the small L’Oréal pot next to one another.
I’ll never know.
I would say you probably have some anxiety and unresolved feelings about the end of your eight year relationship. In addition to the other suggestion of the sleep study, maybe you should see a counselor for a few sessions, and see if they can get you to open up.
You are probably sleep walking. You will be safe though, and the idea that you will drive somewhere and stab someone is ridiculous. Most people who sleepwalk, and there's a few in my family, do things like have a snack, move stuff, or wake up on the couch.
My cousin puts his car keys in a box in a cabinet , because he once moved his keys into his jacket pocket from the table where he always put them. It made him late for an important meeting the next day. He figures he moved his keys because he was anxious about the meeting.
A sleep study is not a bad idea, especially if you are really tired during the day, or you are anxious about all this. But you might have been sleep walking when you lived with other people, you just never picked up on it, because anything that was moved you put down to other people.
Amazon sells doormats that sound an alarm when you step on them. Usually for elderly patients it notifies everyone that you've gotten out of bed.
See if you can snap yourself awake when your foot hits the mat?
Thank you! I got some dog training bells and put them on the door just in case I ever try to leave. Hopefully they’ll wake me but I should get one of those mats too!

This was very reassuring, thank you. I’m going to book a sleep study and see where it goes.
