Recently came across this article during my journies across the web.

SLeeping pill that causes midnight feasts

Basically people who take this pill are sleepwalking in the middle of the night, going to their kitchen, and consuming fantastic amounts of food. They don't realise what's happening the next morning. This part was priceless:

QUOTE
One woman in the Minneapolis area whom Schenck treated, Judie Evans, said she began taking Ambien while recovering from back surgery. At the time, she was in a full body cast and needed assistance to get out of bed.

During this time, Evans, who is 59 and lives alone, began to notice food was missing from her refrigerator. She accused two nursing aides caring for her of stealing food. It was not until her son came to spend several nights that Evans said she realized that despite the body cast, she was getting up to eat while she was asleep.

"During the day, I couldn't even make it to the bathroom by myself," Evans said.

The first night her son was there, he found her standing in the kitchen, body cast and all, frying bacon and eggs while sleeping.

Frying bacon and eggs while sleep walking? I wonder how they tasted...

Does anyone know of other crazy things people do while sleep walking? I have a friend who can hold perfectly coherant conversations while asleep and I used to sleep walk all the time... but nothing quite like this!
