Who Needs Sleep?

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this one interesting little tidbit about Justin here on the blog before, but when he's especially tired, he sleepwalks. And talks in his sleep as well--but not incoherently like most people...he carries on full conversations that are for the most part totally coherant. Sometimes, I don't even really realize that he's still asleep for a good 10 minutes into the conversation, when he finally says or does something really bizarre. Actually, I had forgotten all about Justin's funny little sleepwalking and sleep talking until last night, when the following event occurred (which I did NOT find funny at the time, but is pretty dang hilarious now!):

The setting--about 3am. I needed to feed Lizzy but was in a lot of pain, so I was trying to wake Justin up for him to bring her to me. 

Me: Babe, could you please bring Lizzy to me? I don't think that I can get up right now. And could you get me a glass of water and my pain meds too?
Justin: Sure.
Justin gets up, gets a glass of water and my pain meds, hands them to me, and gets back into bed
Me: What are you doing?
Justin: Going back to sleep.
Me: I thought you were going to bring me Lizzy?
Justin: I changed my mind.
Me: What?
Justin: Do it yourself. I'm tired.
Me: Excuse me? What did you just say?
Justin: I'm going back to bed.
Me: I cannot believe you won't help me with this! I'm just as tired as you are!
Justin rolled over, and slept. I got up, got Lizzy, and started feeding her. I was absolutely seething at this point. About 3 minutes later, Justin sits straight up in bed.
Justin: What are you doing?
Me: What does it LOOK like I'm doing?
Justin: I know, but I thought I was going to help bring Lizzy to you so you didn't have to get up out of bed tonight...why didn't you wake me up?
Me: Are you kidding?! I tried! You told me to do it myself!
A completely horrified look crosses Justin's face.
Justin: I said what?! I don't remember saying anything!
Me: Ohhhhh....you must have been talking in your sleep again! Thank God!

I have a feeling there may be many more funny little sleep conversations in store for me over the next few weeks!

  1. ahahahahahahahaha! Oh boy, that is hilarious! Poor Justin, he's really going to get himself in trouble if he's not careful! I can sympathize, I used to sleep walk/sleep talk a lot-I thankfully seem to be settling down more as a I get older or maybe it's because I just don't get very good sleep at all... I'll be praying for quick healing for you! Btw...are you accepting baby gifts? :)

  2. OH MY GOSH. I can not believe you allowed him to live. Tony would have been smothered in pillows, I'm sure you were weighing the option lol!

  4. Oh my goodness, Meredith, that is HILARIOUS!! I was literally LOL'ing at my desk. Like you said, awful in the moment, but too freaking funny afterwards. And it shows how sweet Justin is that he was horrified to see you up with Lizzy already. :)

    I hope you are healing well, dear. I'm praying for you!

  7. I just got a funny look for laughing so hard at my desk ;) No, not funny in the moment, but glad you were able to laugh about it after you realized what had happened. You need to add a side columnt to the blog titled "Things Justin Has Said/Done While Asleep" so that we can all stay entertained.

    Hope you're healing well & I'm praying for you, Justin & Lizzy.

  14. I'm definitely at work & laughed out loud. I have the same sleepwalking/talking & will scream & yell at AJ. He's not so understanding though - he thinks my true feelings come out when I sleepwalk/talk. :-) Hope everything is going well for you guys!

  20. OMG! We're married to the same man! My husband does stuff like this all the time! It makes me so, so mad, and he doesn't even know it. He apologizes profusely and gets disgusted with himself, but still...

    It's funny when you're awake and happy! But in the moment...AHHHHH!
