Ok, this is a spin off of the "I feel like shit when I wake up topic" (not actual title). I was just thinking about hilarious things I've done while half-asleep or just after waking up and thought this would be a funny topic. What kind of dumb/funny/ridiculous things have you done while you were still laying in bed barely awake or shortly after you had woken up and were experiencing 'morning grogginess.'

1) When I was in Grade 8 I went to make my lunch in the morning and was about to pour a jug of juice into my lunchbox. Luckily I stopped myself because that would've been a very unexpected snack!

2) The phone was ringing and it woke me up. Instead of answering the phone I made a phone shape with my hand using my thumb and pinky and put it to my head. "Hello?" I answered. Alas there was no reply and I snapped out of it after the phone rang again.

3) I woke up to go to work and my stepdad asked me if I wanted water to which I replied, "I don't care." I thought this was funny later after repeating the conversation in my head.

"Do you want water for lunch?"
"I don't care."

4) My stepdad came into my room to hand me the phone while I was still sleeping and said "The phone is for you." I thought he said "Would you like to read to a poem?" to which I gave a questioning "No?"

Thoughts in my head: "Why would I want to read a poem? What time is it? Who reads poems at 8am?"

Actually, just a week ago I dreamt I was eating something really disgusting for whatever reason, so I spit it out, and that's when I realized that I was only half-asleep, and that I had just splattered a huge phlegmy gob of morning spit onto the carpet beside my bed.

Not the best start to a day!

I always eat warm cereal for breakfast (because I'm a man), but one time I poured yoghurt instead of milk into the skillet. I just stared at it in disbelief.

That's pretty much it!

I once accidentally pushed my sister into my bureau when I thought she was the evil fucking mindrape octopus from the dream I'd just had.

I do the beautiful "Put my cereal bowl in the fridge and put the milk in the sink" quite often, and I've nodded my head as an answer on the phone before.  Besides that, I don't have too many problems.





Except there are probably some in this post because I JUST WOKE UP so

actually this kind of happened to me this morning in history. the lecturer was asking if we had any problems with the material that day and i thought he said "do you have any questions, mr. worf?"

so i asked him if that is what he said and apparently that was nothing like what he said because the whole class done that "Heh heh HOW WEIRD" kind of laugh. it was pretty cool.

I have sleep disorders, not just sleep talking- but where I will awake in a panic or mindstate that I cannot control (or most of the time remember).  My roomate last year in college has taped several of our conversations while I was sleeping.  Sometimes I will "awake" standing up, only realizing that I was just looking for someone that was never there to begin with and feel completely embarrest with myself that I cannot control my body sometimes.  Most likely, I am going to be that person that gets out of bed, gets in their car, drives down the street and rob a bank while asleep.

Wow, that's not cool.


I have done some zany shit after waking up. Once, I was at my ex-girlfriend's residence and she had to wake up early to go to class. I was lying there, half awake, and she was talking to me. Now, I thought I was talking to her and we were having a conversation; I remember forming words in my head and my brain telling my mouth to say them. Apparently, however, I was later informed (with anger, if you can believe!) that I didn't say anything until the very end of the conversation when I tapped my lips and said "kiss" (which I still think is fucking adorable). I was confused as shit, because in my half-awake state I could have sworn we had just had an entire conversation.

I used to use my iPod as an alarm, but I didn't have any good wakeup music on it. Many times I would wake up and THINK I was awake and lean over and turn it off, and then fall back asleep. However, it turned out that almost every time I thought I did this I was actually just did nothing at all, and then I would have half-dreaming nightmares about whatever song was playing because I couldn't turn it off. Several times I awoke in cold sweats because I just couldn't stop that damn music (because I wasn't actually doing anything, I just thought I was).

One time I was in the school and I was writting something, and then I began sleeping but continued writting, and when I woke up I looked at the scribbles I made and thought it was funny

My roommate has awoken a few times. Most recently, he bursted into my room in the middle of the night, wondering if I had let a lot of people into his room (he was asking the names, for instance "Did you let Jake and John into my room? How about Janice!? Or Jacob?" and I had to reply NO to each person, even though I explained there was no one there. Most of the people he asked me are people that live in Oslo, a 7 hour drive away from here, and about half of them are people I've never even met.

Another night he burst into my room and was like "DAMN, THERE ARE SPIDERS IN MY BED!!"

He usually takes about ten minutes to snap out of it.


Myself, I rarely experience shit like this. I do often wake up dillusional, but it seems my logic is the first part of my consciousness that is activated, as I can look around in my room and look at a lot of people and just think to myself "Ok, I just wake up. Back to sleep/get up." without giving the illusions another thought. I often recognize sizes in my room as different things than they really are, but my logic is already racing before I can recognize any weird shapes so I'm never really fooled.

earlier today i woke up to the beep of a text message, i checked it and answered it. then i hear a beep and another beep. Apparently I had heard the text message and then i dreamed or half-thought that i answered it when in reality it was still lying next to my bed, unread and unanswered.

Further evidence we actually descended from an advanced extraterrestial civilisation and forgot about it. Really, cybernetic implants, house AIs, an implanted racial memory of star trek, and easy recycling.


I generally act quite normal after waking up and can function just fine, unless I go to sleep again within a few minutes. I will, as a rule, forget to have ever woken up earlier that morning. I remember waking up and having coffee. If only the rest of the day was that easy -- any task, you just do it, and forget about the discomfort later. It's like having a butler.

Yeah like someone was saying sometimes I'll be dreaming I'm with someone cool or in a cool place but then I get awake enough to realize it's a dream and I'm like shit :(

Yesterday I overslept so a friend of mine called. I thought it was the alarm though (I use my phone for alarm) so when it rang I just held it in my hand and stared at it, trying to understand why my alarm went "Hello? HEEEELLO?". Appearently I also groaned very audibly before I snapped out of it.

Pretty sure I've done the milk in sink and bowl in fridge thing, at least back when I worked early mornings.

I don't usually get confused when I wake up though...maybe becuase I try to wake up long before I need to do anything special so I don't have to hurry.

There is lots of fun to be had here!

Portion Size and Food Safety**

In the shower I thought of a new type of porcupine the other day, like porcupines are made somewhere and this version was better for any practical use. I had the schematics in my head and everything. sounds like bad humor but it's true!

I'm always awake after my shower, so nothing else happens to me after that. mostly it's just me thinking of jokes that I find hilarious at the time, but if I remember them later they don't make sense at all

I have done a variation of the cereal bowl thing, except I take the cereal bowl to my bathroom sink instead of the kitchen one.

When I was little I used to sleepwalk.
I once got in the shower at 3am.

Also, some time ago, the maid was afraid to go in my room and I had no idea why.
Turns out when she brought me breakfast really early on weekends, I screamed and insulted her... But then, when I woke up... I didn't remember.

I never knew until one day I did it to my bro and he then told me.

Before I got put on ambien I'd fall asleep at school a lot.

The only thing I can remember doing is thinking I heard my Grandpa call for me while I was half awake in school, and I yelled "what?" in the middle of class.

This happens to me all the time with whatever alarm I use. It's a very odd feeling when you're too tired to even realise you can't be bothered doing something.

I've thrown teaspoons away frequently after stirring coffee, but I've got better with that recently.

I had a half an hour conversation with my girlfriend about her exams at like 8am a few days ago and I remember basically nothing about it.
