January 21st - Put on Interim Suspension and open charges of A&B and B&E at night pending investigation for behavioral misconduct. In the early morning (4:15 AM~) of Saturday, January 21st, I allegedly walked into a female’s room (who I did not know prior to this other than passing conversation, having moved into this dorm two weeks prior) that was two doors down from mine and pulled her hair, and she apparently scratched me. I have absolutely no recollection of these events, and believe I was sleepwalking at the time of this incident due to a variety of circumstances: I was currently suffering from mononucleosis, I had some alcohol in my system at the time (stopped drinking 4 hours prior and was below the legal limit), this occurred two and a half hours after I went to sleep (1:30 AM~), my family has a history of sleep issues such as sleep apnea and sleep talking, and I have slept walk in the past through multiple doors and into family members bedrooms. …show more content…
I have since been diagnosed with a sleepwalking disorder and received testimony from experts that situation was most certainly due the circumstances such as sleep deprivation, exhaustion from mononucleosis, and alcohol in my system. Doctors have said taking the measures that I am will prevent this from ever being an issue again in the future and there will be no issue for me returning to a dorm environment, though I should be encouraged to pursue a single

The “Sleepwalking Defense” has been used, though not frequently, as a criminal defense in court. In the US News article assigned, they touched on seven murders that used the “Sleepwalking Defense” in court to fight the charges against the person that was proved to have committed the crime. It was argued that the murders/crimes were committed when the defendant was asleep and totally unaware of their actions. Some of the sleepwalking actions committed during the murders led to the defendant being physically injured. Actions were also carried out in what seemed like clear awake and conscience thought, like hiding/disposing of evidence or actually telling the family dog to lie down during the murders. I did notice that most of these cases
I think the sleepwalker statue should be removed from the campus. The lifelike statue is an amazing artwork, but should not be on any college campus. The statue does not look presentable or appropriate for where it is now. The statue should have never been allowed to stay on the campus as long as it has; the creator of the statue did not ask for permission to place his statue on the campus. The statue should have been removed from the campus or sent to an art museum after students expressed they were uncomfortable with the statue. A petition was signed by more than 500 supporters to help the students’ argument to get rid of the “sleepwalker”. The statue might have been more acceptable at a college with both women and men.
We still do not know how World War I started; that is the basis the book Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark. In it he dispels rumors, raises new questions, and paints this as a sequence of unfortunate events no one country is to be blamed for. Right from the first few sentences Clark builds up the tension. He begins the book in 1903 with the murder of Alexander I that foreshadows the later assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Christopher Clark’s book Sleepwalker’s is a thought provoking piece of literature for anyone interested in the events leading up to the “Great War”.
After reading Lindsay Lyon’s article about “sleepwalking defense”, it’s clear this is a controversial pled. The thought of being able to do anything in your sleep is an outrageous concept to grasp, let alone use as a defense in a court room. Out of seven different cases in this article, there’s only two that I could come to terms with. State v. Bradley and Pennsylvania v. Ricksgers both involved the murder of their significant others with a single gunshot during an unconscious state. In my opinion, these cases are most relevant to the sleepwalking defense because it’s more believable to think one action took place before someone waking up then multiple actions. The Regina v. Parks case was a far stretch to try and use sleepwalking defense.

At the time I had been going to a sleepaway camp in New Hampshire called Wicosuta and I had only been the year before. At camp there was one thing that stood out the most. Nothing cheered my up more than getting mail. It was only my second year at camp and I was still not used to being away from home for a month. She had really helped me to get enough courage to go. On the last day of school she said the usual “I will write to you if you will write back to me.” So that’s what I did. A few weeks after I got to camp I took out my stationary and started writing. I wrote about all the new friends I had and how I couldn’t wait to tell her all about it. I sent my letter the next day. I didn’t hear back from until two weeks after. I just tried to
Whenever I am asked to think of my "happy place" with no hesitation required, camp is the first thing that comes to mind. I have been going to sleep away camp up-north since the young age of nine years old. My camp consisted of just over 100 people. Everyone knew your name; the sense of comfort was indescribable.
Like a nation of zombies we are sleepwalking towards a future where there is no physical interaction between us. To grow as human beings we need to look into each other's eyes, to see by the expression there what someone is really thinking and feeling. Without the comfort of its mothers arms a baby will not thrive - similarly we all need quality time together to develop as caring, fully rounded people mentally. Are we now so addicted to electronic gadgetry that we cannot put it down long enough to really pay attention to what our children are doing and saying or what our partners need? If we do not address this issue now then our humanity will be lost and the future is a bleak and emotionless place indeed!
Somnambulism, or sleepwalking, belongs to a group of parasomnias. This disorder of arousal is characterized by complex motor behaviors initiated during stages 3 and 4 of non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep (slow-wave sleep) (3). Behaviors during sleepwalking episodes can vary greatly. Some episodes are limited to sitting up, fumbling and getting dressed, while others include more complex behaviors such as walking, driving a car, or preparing a meal (2). After awakening, the sleepwalker usually has no recollection of what has happened and may appear confused and disoriented. The behaviors performed while sleepwalking are said to be autonomous automatisms. These are nonrelfex actions performed without conscious volition and
Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder effecting an estimated 10 percent of all humans at least once in their lives (1). This widespread phenomenon varies in its intensity and frequency. While most sleepwalking incidents are short and not dangerous, some can involve self-injury and are much more dangerous for the sleeper. Also, most interestingly, the disorder seems to stem from many different sources, not from one definable cause such as a chemical imbalance. While it is predominantly pre-adolescents who suffer from somnambulism, it is also observed in adults, although the frequency and severity of incidents increase with age. The source of the disorder was once thought to be entirely psychological and an extension of
Sleep deprivation is the most widely recognized rest issue in America and College Students. Understudies dropout rate and instructional level is dropping in the fact that they don't get much rest. Rest is vital to our wellbeing, yet its influencing understudy's wellbeing the most. Being a college student we don’t have our personal alarm clock anymore, so we tend to oversleep or don’t sleep at all. I can affirm on the grounds that being all alone I have this same issue. I hear and see the influence it has on understudies day by day and at times battle with it myself. Sleep Deprivation is created by society's weights to succeed, which prompts numerous ailments and reductions in scholarly accomplishment in undergrads.

At night, you lock the house down, tuck the kids into bed, clean your home, and you might even finish some last minute work. I bet you never thought about the things that can happen at night. As we kiss our children goodnight, our favorite line is “Goodnight, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite”.
