I'm seriously considering putting a motion detected camera in my living room... not to catch burglars... but... to catch ME.

My room mate informed me that both our gate and front door were unlocked when he woke up this morning.

My car keys ::gulp:: were under the couch - and though it doesn't look like I even actually opened the car door, let alone drove anywhere, I definitely have a scrape on my left elbow and left foot.

I'm sure whatever homeless people were hanging out in our parking lot when I rolled out there as a half naked zombie were thrilled to see me go back inside.

You aren't on any drugs that would cause this?

Maybe you should start sleeping in a harnass. Like a horsey. Or a leather slave.

Not only am I not on any medications that could CAUSE it, I'm not on any medications at all.

The things I would probably do if I took ambien is scary to think about.

I like the leather strap idea

A bright lights and loud siren on a trip wire or electronic eye.

But someone else has to set it up so your sub-concious mind doesn't know how to disable it.

At least the trigger part.

And electric shocks if you try to disable the lights and siren in your sleep.

Put a lock on the outside of your room door and have your roomie lock you in at night and let you out in the morning.

Keep a jar in your room in case you have to pee at night.

I think I should combine your two advices.

Have a jar next to my bed that shocks me every time I get up to pee.

thumbtacks on the floor.

done and done

How did you find your keys if they were UNDER the couch. I would never think to look there.

He was looking for his bottle of Mad Dog.

If you woke up one morning, couldn't find your keys, and thought to yourself, "If I was sleep walking - where would I have put them..." the under couch becomes a logical possibility - kind of like the bottom of the laundry basket.
