Do I need a babysitter for myself?  

You must have done it in your sleep.
I'm not very 'active' while sleeping, but my friend once took the clothes out of her hamper that's by her bed, one by one, and put them into a bowl of water that was also near her bed. She woke up to find them all neatly placed in there, not like it had been tipped! It was quite funny.
Oh, and another time she walked downstairs, talked to someone who was awake that she doesn't like very much, and even gave them a hug! - and she only vaguely remembered doing so the next morning. But I guess it could be possible to do something dangerous - which definitely wouldn't be funny...

Oh my joyce. You may have slept-walked?? Are you known to do that? I have done some strange things before also because I stay wore out and in a hurry to get things done every day. I have put my hairspary in the refrigerator a couple of times. We have lost our sink garbage disposal rubber drain plug overnight for instance. That is so weird. Who would have ever removed or took that out?

Hi Joyce it sounds to me like you slept walked too, but the fact that you awoke and then went into the kitchen tells me that God was watching over you and you were made to realise this before a disaster happened so I wouldn't worry too much re the towel over the stove bitbut can understand your concern. I have left a hob on absent mindedly before think everyone does that at some time and also driven back home to check I'd turned iron off cos I couldn't remember doing it, I had, but had done so automatically had no memory of it. Lets hope you stay put tonight. Very strange though, but wouldn't say it was anything of the eebee geebi kind. Ellie :)

it seems you were sleep walking. i think few people have this problem. its true taht there can be any problem. but bettter consult a doctor. i think he can treat you and help you.

To me, it sounds like you may have a lot on your mind, you are doing too many things at one time or distracted while you are doing something. I do the dumbest things when I try to multi-task or have myself worrying about something and trying to get stuff done. I lost the basket the coffee grounds go into on my coffee maker. The only thing I can think of is that I threw it out with the coffee grounds the other day. I find bills or other documents in with my recipes.

And, of course, like the opinions above, you may be doing stuff in your sleep. Interesting. whit

Good morning Joyce. I am wondering if you have had any change in medication lately? has this occurred before? There are certain medications that can cause sleep walking as a side effect. If this happens again I would for sure talk to your doctor. Its a bit humorous and i am sure you feel somewhat rattled by it. I know I would. I would think you were dreaming of cleaning your house and thought a nice cup of tea would get you motivated... LMAO just keep an eye out (on yourself). Call your doctor if it happens again.

what I would do is talk to my doctor about all these things you cannot explain, it could be a number of things, absentmindedness, forgetfulness, or stress, or something more serious like the beginning of alzheimers. He will decide the appropriate action to take, maybe some neurological testing, maybe only asking you a few questions. If you live alone yes it can be a real concern.

Well this sounds like maybe you have alot on your mind and just forget about the things you started when you got side tracked. Is this is a persistent thing going on with you? You may want to get checked out. Could be sleep walking. I don't know what they do about that, but do something before you get hurt.

Do you live alone? Maybe what you need is someone to keep you company. If you want to know what is really happening around you in your house why don't you put a camera that can record events on your house then maybe you will know if you are sleep walking and doing all this by yourself or a malevolent spirit is doing it. It is worth a try. :)

that was scary!! are you alone in the house??thats dangerous if its you who did it and dont remember doing the task!!
