sleeptalking

10.30pm. Once upon a night before a progress test.

Farah: Anat. kau suruh aku kejut kau kan tadi.

Anat: Hmm.

Farah: Anat bangunla, kredit aku nk habis ni.

Anat: Yerr dah bangunla.

Farah: Sure? (farah is sceptical -she is well informed of Anat’s sleeptalking habit)

Anat: Hmm. (giggles)

Farah: Ok.sure? kau nak study ape?? (Farah is now asking questions, in hopes of busting the part of Anat that tries to, umm, act as though Anat is actually awake when she really isnt)

Anat: Antiarrhythmic drugs.

(Farah is now convinced that anat is awake)

Farah: Ok.

Anat: Hmm.

Well.I had no recollection whatsoever of the above phone conversation. That conversation was roughly what both farah n my roommate described to me happened, and also of course based on the call log in my cellphone. They told me there were lots of hmmmms and giggling but there was that antiarrhythmic drugs part no doubt.

ohh yes.now im babbling about antiarrhythmic drugs in my sleep?

i can picture prof venka with tears in his eyes, looking like a proud father.

A whole 25seconds of conversation and i had no idea it even happened!

So i googled sleeptalking and got this.

Sleep-talking is very common and is reported in 50% of young children, with most of them outgrowing it by puberty although it may persist into adulthood (about 5% of adults are reported to talk in their sleep). It appears to run in families.
Haha.thanks ayah n maa for the pseudo-psycho genes.

ps: i woke up 7am the next day, and had no chance running through antiarrhythmic drugs.
