That's very disturbing. Now I'm scared about walking off somewhere...

I know that I talk in my sleep sometimes (people say I can carry on a respectable conversation for a few minutes, or I'll just ramble), but having sex? That is somewhat disturbing. Hopefully only your wife is in the room or house.

Interesting, we're just studying sleep cycles and sleep stages in my Psychology class. Stage 4 sleep is when sleepwalking/night terrors (not nightmares) occur. Stage 4 sleep happens mostly during the first parts of sleep. REM sleep, dreams, nightmares, occurs during stage 1 sleep. This stage occurs mostly during the later parts of sleep shortly before waking. During this time the brain waves are very similar to that of a fully awake person. However the brain blocks it's link to the body so that the rest of the body is paralyzed. It is impossible then (and probably for good reason) that your body would physically react to dreams.

I happen to be studying sleep cycles right now too. If this "experience" occurred entirely during Stage 4 Sleep (when Sleepwalking occurs), then the "sleep sex" couldn't have lasted very long.... Imagine the guy's dissapointment. Heh... Heh...

whether they are "asleep" is irrelevant because they are actually conscious of what they are doing whether or not they realize it. they made the choice to cheat, and this is just a convenient defense mechanism.

Did you think this out before posting it? if you're asleep, you're generally not conscious, especially during the stages where sleepwalking can occur. And of course, if you're doing something consciously, you'd most certainly be aware of it, not like something handled subconsciously, like breathing for example, where you're only aware when something is different or you need to control it.
