Shakespeare called it the 'main course in life's feast' and Edgar Allen Poe thought of it as 'a little slice of death'. Some people love sleep, some find it difficult and some walk around and do weird stuff in their sleep without even realising.

While You Were Sleeping

In our first story, a conversation with a friend prompts Terri to ask her father about her childhood sleepwalking habit. She discovers some funny and spooky stories about her younger self, and figures, we must know more about the science of sleepwalking these days, right?
