Sleepwalking Experiences

I'm a 25 year old female. As A child I suffered with sleep talking and screaming uncontrollably in my sleep. However when I started to drink as an adult I began to sleep walk and peeing, always after drinking. The first time I walked into my parents room and peed in a draw. once i left the house walked to the end of street knocked on my friends door and she had to take me home. I have probably had 15-20 incidence of sleep walking and sometimes peeing in the past 9 years, the true figure is unknown though, as these are only ones ive been told of as i never have any recollection of them. However recently it happened 3 times in a month. I have a 2 year old son and I'm scared I might try to take him somewhere. Recently on holiday I left the hotel room walked down 2 flights of stair and was standing by the swimming pool when my husband found me. He had luckily woken up and found me gone, but then had to leave my son asleep alone so he could come and find me. I've decided to stop drinking but sociable sensible drinking is a large part of our lives and its going to be very hard but it's not just for my safety it's also for my sons.

In the last 25 years, I've had 3 alcohol-related sleep-peeing incidents, always when I couldn't get to my usual bathroom either because I was in a strange place or because the bathroom was occupied. Now, if these were chronic and/or utterly random alcohol-related events, then the obvious solution would be not to drink, but it is neither chronic nor random, so giving up alcohol is not really the very first thing I want to try. I've noticed that it happens when
- I've been drinking, and not necessarily even excessively
- I have a full bladder, for example after drinking beer rather than wine
- I'm disoriented when I wake up to go to the bathroom

I'm going to try a few measures like leaving the light on in strange bathrooms, locking the front door of where-ever I'm staying (yup - I'm a wanderer), peeing before going to bed, etc. Any other suggestions? I'm wondering if I shouldn't just leave the bedroom light on as well.

Again, it happens pretty rarely, but is utterly terrifying when it does happen, because on 2 of the 3 times, I've ended up wandering around in strange surroundings in the dark and in my underwear. On top of it all, I'm usually in a half-awake, half-dreaming state, so everything I see is somehow overlaid with whatever it is that I am dreaming, so I'm just aware of my surroundings enough to feel lost and in trouble, but not lucid enough to figure out where I am and how to get back to where I need to be. Put simply, the issue is not quite so much peeing while sleepwalking (although that is incredibly embarrassing) but rather sleepwalking due to needing to pee.

My boyfriend has sleep-peed a couple of times. I've woken up to him "going" in our desk draws and once in a corner bin. We were kind of worried about it, but went to a film festival recently and watched this film about sleep peeing: really made us laugh. Also watch the movie Sleep Walk With Me it's great.

i am 38 male i sleeo walk at least once or twice a month i often get up for a wee in different places the most resent thing i have done is walk down stairs bring up a kitchen chair trying to get into the loft how can you help i also wake up with no clothes on

After reading a lot of these comments, i thought i'd add mine.
I have peed next to the toilet 2 times,
on my bedroom door once,
on my desk chair once,
in my trashbin ( next to my chair ),
and ... 2 times in my bed -_-* Sooooo embarresing to wake up like that.

Anyways i have noticed if i get drunk on whisky i have almost no flued in my body,
so i don't need to pee in my sleep. While with beer there is always to much flued inside you.

I like whisky so i think i'll stick to that for now, only a few beers in the beginning for me now so i can pee it all out.

haha crazy stuff happens i guess, lucky i found this post. Some good info in it.
Peace

my 5 year old sleep walks, he has since he was about 2, but he only recently started trying to pee in weird places. Ive managed to get him to the washroom most times but he always seems to try to pee in the fridge. tonight i managed to get him out of the fridge but his pants came down and he peed on the kitchen floor. he woke up about 30 seconds later with his underwear down and pee on his legs standing in a big puddle not knowing what had happened. He has also tried to leave the house while sleep walking. i dont know what to do. im going to talk to his doctor and hopefully get some input from her...

Was drinking beer, playing with the dogs and watching TV alone late on Friday. I went into the bedroom to go to bed, but decided to go have another beer. For some reason I just decided to take a leak right next to the bed. I don't really know what I was thinking, I just needed to relieve myself then and there, so I did. I kind of felt like one of the dogs, marking my territory or something.. My wife woke up and asked what was going on. She went back to sleep, not angry, but I think she is worried about me. I am so ashamed today, I really don't even want to leave my room. I am off drink; that was a little too out of control for me.
Thank you for this blog, this is not something I would even discuss with my doctor.

My son who is 6 does this. It isn't quite as frequent as it used to be, but it is bad enough that we are going to have to replace carpeting. It isn't ever the same place, and it is always on the floor. He seems to be walking to where he thinks the bathroom is and just peeing. We have tried waking him up in the middle of the night and taking him to the bathroom, and sometimes that helps, but not always. We have no idea what to do, but this problem is going to end up costing up thousands of dollars in repairs! Help!

For some odd reason i have no idea why but every once in a while when i have some beer with friends and i go to sleep, I will sleep walk and pee in my shoes. Ill slightly remember my experiences but ill look for a certain pair of shoes and pee in both of them and make sure it holds my pee with out spilling.

So in the past year or so, my drinking had gotten really heavy. I was drinking copious amonts of liquer, beer, any thing that would get me oblitterated. My first sleep peeing events happened in my bed, which was about twice. As time went on, I stopped drinking hard liquer and just stuck with beer. My first notable sleepwalk peeing event was when I woke up in the morning with the head of my bed and my pillow wet. I had passed out in bed with a half-full beer before somI looked for a bottle but never found one. Upon further investigation of my wet bed I discovered that it was urine. Now, two nights ago, I drank two tall cans of steel reserve, my usual for the past few months. Yesterday while my girlfriend was over, I went to turn on my cable box and tv and found that the cable box wouldnt turn on. I started to check all the plugs behind the tv and found that my xbox cable was unplugged but not the cable box. I started moving the cable box to look behind it and found that there was liquid underneath it all over the glass stand that it sits on. I decided to smell the liquid and discovered it was pee! After realizing this I decided that that was the reason my xbox power supply was unplugged. I must have realized what I was doing in my sleep and tried to save it from being ruined. I told my girlfriend and wow, I've never seen her laugh so hard at pee before! She suggested I set up a camera to see what I do in the night lol. Sorry for the lengthy post!
