Sleep texting?!?!

Here's what I've decided to do. I'm gonna keep the blog, change the name, and keep writing. Because it helps me, a lot. =)

I've texted in my sleep before, as well as IMed. But Christmas Eve was different. The last time I remember seeing on my clock was 10:50. When I woke up Christmas day, I scrolled through my inbox and saw that I'd received two texts at midnight. The first was a Facebook notification, the other a text from Corey. Both had been opened and read. I had no idea what they said, so I opened them both and saw that Corey had simply told me that he was home and going to bed soon (we're still on good terms although we broke up a month ago). Puzzled, I went to my sent messages. In the folder was a response, basically saying that I loved him and hoped that he'd sleep well, and that we'd talk tomorrow. I have absolutely no recollection of either reading these texts and sending a response. Later Christmas day, I was looking through my recent calls just to see that at exactly midnight, I had attempted to call some 7-digit number. Thankfully, it wasn't a legitimate number and didn't go through. I don't remember doing any of this!

I've IMed in my sleep before. One time, I had been signed on to AIM with multiple chat windows up and my browser contained 5 or 6 tabs of sites. I was also listening to music. When I passed out, my monitor was crazy cluttered. When I woke up, everything was neatly minimized, bookmarked, and exited. I do not remember doing this, either! I had also IMed my bud from school at 1:30 AM, although thankfully he had been asleep.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is a serious problem. Should I go to a sleep doctor or something? My dad says it's just a lack of sleep. I'm not sure about that. I've had these random occurrences for nearly two months now. Well, I guess it could be sleep deprivation. I've been working nonstop and just got out for the semester, so sleep has been scarce recently. But why would that become a problem now? I don't understand!

And I have trouble falling asleep already. It's not like I can go to bed earlier... I'll just toss and turn until the normal time that I sleep.
