Is sleep texting a thing?

My girlfriend showed me some weird messages she sent me late at night, but she doesn't remember sending them. She was asleep. Is sleep texting a thing, or was she just pulling my leg?

Yes, it's actually a real thing that happens when your phone is right next to your pillow. It usually happens due to bad sleep habits and high fatigue. Keep your phone on the other side of the room before you sleep.

It is a modern problem where we use phones till the last second. Try putting a drop of lavender oil on your pillow and keeping all screens away an hour before sleeping. If you do unusual things in sleep frequently, please show a doctor.

Don't believe people online who say it's just 'normal stress' and sell you essential oils. If you are actually sending coherent texts while asleep, it is a sleep disorder. Please go to a proper hospital and consult a sleep expert.

Yes, it is a type of parasomnia, very similar to sleepwalking. Since our phones are almost like an extension of our hands, the brain does it automatically. Just turn off your Wi-Fi and keep the phone out of reach.

It is real, but before you spend money on expensive sleep clinics and tests, try the zero-cost solution first. Put your phone in a drawer far from your bed. If the issue still persists, then plan for a medical consultation.

Actually yaar, it is a thing! I once sent a completely gibberish text to my boss at 3 AM while I was fast asleep. It was so embarrassing, now I literally lock my phone and keep it away.

This phone has ruined the sleep of this generation. In our times we slept peacefully, now children sleep with phones in hand. Drink some warm milk and keep the phone in another room, beta.

Haha yes, it is very real and dangerous for your relationships! Imagine sleep texting your ex by mistake. Just put your phone on airplane mode to save yourself the horror.
