BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man woke up to find himself stark naked in the middle of a street after sleepwalking from home, police said Thursday. The 37-year-old man called police in the southern town of Buchen at around 6 a.m. after discovering he had left his house keys at home.

"The man waited naked for police at the phone booth, who gave him a raincoat to wear," said a police spokesman.

That would SUCK. I used to sleepwalk as a kid. Never did that though.

who gave him a raincoat to wear

Teehhehe!

NEVER NEVER Sleep naked!!! Always sleep with your boots on!

[T Minus Four]

I wonder where he was carrying the change for the phone call, LOL!

Prolly good advice but I don't think the Missus will appreciate my foresight. Regarding the story I suspect the "suspect" might have dived out his mistress's bedroom window and needed a story for the police and his wife. Anyone with updates? ;-)

[Dog Gone]

I hope Hillary doesn't sleepwalk.

[theDentist]

That's my story judge, and I'm sticking to it.

[Savage Beast]

I'd rather wake up like this man did.

I was babysitting for a friend and fell asleep on the couch. I heard the front door open & jumped up. Her 11-year-old son (at that age, he was already pushing 6' tall) was about 2/3rds of the way down the sidewalk towards the street (a busy one). I raced out the door, gently turned him around and steered him back upstairs to his bed.

At least he was wearing skivvies.

Oh I meant No clothes just the boots!! HEH HEH!! ;-) You don't think your misses would appreciate that? (only kidding!)

As a kid, my sister used to sleepwalk. Never forget the night I awoke to find her standing on top of my dresser. She was about 6 years old at the time. Scared the c--p out of me.

Well sleepwalking would explain this picture:

Actually, in college I woke up in some places and had no recollection of how I got there. Must have been sleepwalking. ;-)

Once, as a kid I awoke from a bad dream. I was very groggy and was convinced that someone had killed my brother. I was walking and talking. Was that sleep walking? It seemed that I was half asleep.

"I swear, honey, really, I just woke up and there I was. So I called to police.""

"sein die Wahrheit, Honig wirklich wachte ich gerade auf und dort war ich. So benannte ich, um polizeilich zu überwachen.""

When I was in the Marine Corps and lived in a big barracks, I learned how common sleepwalking (and talking in your sleep) really is.

One clown, at least once a week, would apparently have the same dream, and shout out, "You f###ing people are ALL going to jail!" - at least this particular guy stayed in the rack for that one.

I woke up in some places and had no recollection of how I got there

I woke up astraddle my motorcycle at the very end of a one foot wide mud dike.
It had ended in the middle of a rice paddy.
There were several water buffalo sloshing around and blatting loudly.
I had to pick the bike up, turn it around,
and walk it back a long way before the dike became a path wide enough to ride.
I rode for 30 minutes before I came to something I recognized.

Singha induces sleep "riding."

It's free if you call the police.

[Prodigal Son]

"You f###ing people are ALL going to jail!" - at least this particular guy stayed in the rack for that one.

I spit out my coffee on that one. That's pretty funny.

[Prodigal Son]

Not much of a sleep walker but I wake up swinging and kicking if someone grabs me. I've got some pretty good shots in on people over the years.

[Deguello]

I once woke up from being asleep in my car at the front steps of the Schleicher County Court House in Eldorado, TX. Does this count?
