Thread: Sleep walker, talker, kicker, screamer, dreamer craziness

Hello there!
I am a very active sleeper, and I screech my head off and/or kick the blankets and pillows off of my bed on a nightly basis. I also always, always, always, sleep with my eyes open. I only sleep with them closed when I am very sick or completely exhausted . According to my parents, I also shout things like MAMA! and I HATE YOU! and some downright embarrassing things also, as well as good old fashioned screaming at night.
Regardless, I have been wondering if all this dream craziness simply means that I am a very expressive person or if it indicates a medical condition of some sort. Sleep-craziness isn't that huge of a problem for me, but I have to take eye drops for my dry eyes, and it really scares my friends whenever they invite me to a slumber party and wake up to me screaming in their faces with my eyes wide open. They think I'm just messing with them . I imagine it is pretty scary, though. Sometimes I even wake up on the floor or on the table, which is very inconvenient.
I've also had some really funny sleepwalking experiences in which I wandered around messing with my family members. Thank goodness my parents finally realized what was going on and stopped grounding me. Do any of you know of a medicine to stop sleepwalking or any other way to stop it? I would really appreciate any tips you might have, because I am getting to old too be acting like this. If you have ever done something humerous while you were sleepwalking, I would love to hear about it. Thank you for your time.
