Sleeping?????
Nah. Drunk as a skunk is more likely.
You might think so in most cases. But, I found out, one time, that I had talked to someone in my sleep for about an hour (about 2 AM or so, when a girl I knew called).
When I talked to her next time, I hadn’t known that I had talked to her that time in the middle of the night. After she told me that I did and told me several things that I said and that I sounded like normal and went on with her for about an hour, I was flabbergasted.
There was no drinking on my part (as I’m not a drinker) and I don’t take prescription drugs, and neither other kinds.
So, there was no other explanation other than “sleep-talking”... I guess. I must have been really tired. I suppose that could be one possibility.
There was another time when I was talking to a “landlord” (two older spinster sisters owned a property that I rented and I was talking to one of them). I was working a lot in those days and was tired a lot. She said that she was talking to me and I just wasn’t there anymore, but barely heard my breathing, as though I was asleep. I fell asleep on the phone with her... LOL...
