Me, too. I'm glad I don't have that, or the version where you wake up but you're still in the dream, I have the mild "I can't move for 10 seconds" version. And it happens rarely.

Speaking of, I don't know if you know, but the sleep drug Ambien accumulates over time, saturates, and when it reaches saturation, can have effects like Birgiblia's condition. People driving, eating, doing things in their sleep with no recollection. Awful drug.

My elderly mother with dementia, who I'm the caretaker of, was prescribed it a couple of years ago, old people have insomnia. I found her at 3 AM vacuuming. I asked her "Why are you doing this now....," She looked at me, with a blank face, and wide zombie eyes, the went back to vacuuming. The next morning, she didn't remember shit. And not because of dementia. We stopped the Ambien.
