Zzz-mail: What happens when sleepwalkers go online
Doctors have reported the first ever case of someone using the internet while asleep, after a sleeping woman sent emails to people asking them over for drinks and caviar.

It was only when a would-be guest phoned the next day to accept, that she found out what she had done.
The 44-year-old woman, whose case is reported by researchers from the University of Toledo in the latest edition of medical journal Sleep Medicine, had gone to bed at around 10pm, but got up two hours later and walked to the next room.
She then turned on the computer, connected to the internet, and logged on by typing her username and password to her email account. She then composed and sent three emails.
Each was in a random mix of upper and lower cases, not well formatted and written in strange language.
One read: "Come tomorrow and sort this hell hole out. Dinner and drinks, 4.pm,. Bring wine and caviar only."
Another said simply, "What the……."
The new variation of sleepwalking has been described as "zzz-mailing".

Yep, Ambien is notorious for erasing memories while allowing someone to function at a reasonable level.
Ou can’t google until you gargle!
I’ve fallen asleep at the keyboard before. And then dreamed I was still trying to type, and gotten mad at the computer because the letters wouldn’t appear on screen. :’o
