Sleep Series 2 - Sleep Sex and Other Weird Sleep Phenomenon

March 23, 2017

Some crazy stuff can happen when you sleep. Sleep walking, sleep eating, sleep sex. There is even a case I will be talking about today where a sexual assault case was overturned on the basis that the person doing the assaulting was asleep while perpetrating the act. Because you unconscious mind is in control of your body and brain while you sleep, some very strange things can happen. By listening to this episode you will learn not only about some of the stranger (and some more common) sleep phenomenon, but I'll even talk about how you can solve things like nocturnal teeth grinding. The end of the episode talks about some medically induced sleep weirdness due to the side effects of drugs like ambien.
