"Sleepwalking Idaho woman wakes up in Snake River twice..."

She'll be asleep, dreaming of drowning and then wake up to find herself in the river.

My guess? A publicity stunt for a re-make of this movie with a female lead this time: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102494/; 8/27/12, 11:07 AM

edutcher said...: There are, of course, stories of people driving, going to work, and other things while sleepwalking one would imagine would waken them.

Fascinating subject.; 8/27/12, 12:15 PM

Easy to think about a situation where even if I did wake up, it wouldn't be in time to save myself.; 8/27/12, 1:02 PM
Oso Negro said...: A simpler explanation than a woman walking into the chilly water of the Snake River without waking up is that she is bullshitting everyone. This story doesn't pass the sniff test.; 8/27/12, 1:37 PM

At any rate, I've never actually sleep walked. But I have on more than one occasion had full phone conversations while sleeping that i didn't remember having when I woke up, so I guess it's possible.; 8/27/12, 6:27 PM
