We've heard of sleep walking, sleep talking and even sleep fucking, but emailing while asleep? Oh yes.
Is it a fluke or a sign of the imminent technology/drug-induced apocalypse?
A study published in the journal Sleep Medicine reports that a 44-year-old woman turned on her computer and sent emails to her friends asking them to come over with wine and caviar... all while she was asleep.
The woman was taking Zolpidem, which is sold in the U.S. as Ambien. Which studies have found can cause people to eat, walk and have sex while sleeping.
Among the woman's emails:
One read: "Come tomorrow and sort this hell hole out. Dinner and drinks, 4 p.m., Bring wine and caviar only."
Another said simply, "What the ..."
The new variation of sleepwalking has been described as "zzz-mailing."
"We believe writing an e-mail after turning the computer on, connecting to the Internet and remembering the password displayed by our patient is novel," the researchers said. "To our knowledge, this type of complex behavior requiring coordinated movements has not been reported before in sleepwalking," they wrote.
Novel, a sign of the apocalypse. Call it what you will, but imagine if we got on Facebook while asleep and started updating out status with our dreams: "Emily is currently having sex with [redacted]" or "Emily is currently having sex with [redacted] and [redacted]" or "Emily is floating on a chocolate cloud while tiny green men dance circles around my areolas.
