"Dancing in the Dark"

I have to say I did find that video clip quite entertaining, but I don't think people are that lively when sleep walking! I do find sleep walking very interesting, why do we do such a thing and why is there a more likely chance of kids sleep walking than adults? When I was younger I use to sleep walk a little, and I would wake up the next morning not having any idea I did except that my parents told me I had. I don't understand how some people can do such crazy things when they are sleep walking, like one of my friends who opened her garage and started walking down her driveway when she was younger, but thank goodness for her security system, because then her dad was able to catch her. What would have happened if she kept going and nobody caught her though? It's things scenarios like that that I don't quite get. Also I remember reading in our text book a story about how a man commited murder while sleep walking, so they tried using sleep walking as his defense. I don't think such extreme behaviors can occur while asleep, I think our world needs to continue to do more research on such occurences.

The clip was entertaining, but I would consider it more for entertainment purposes than for educational learning. Nevertheless, it demonstrates that people are not aware of what they do while sleepwalking and that they can easily get into difficult situations. I personally do not know anybody who sleepwalks, but I find this part of psychology fascinating. What goes on in people's minds when they sleepwalk? I know that many people do not remember what they do when they sleepwalk, but it would be interesting for me to find out is there are any documentaries or recordings in various media that would shed some information on the mysterious side to sleepwalking. I found one response to a blog about sleepwalking that says she remembers everything during her sleepwalks. According to her, she feels her actions are logical and justified in the moment. I found this posting very interesting because it gives way to the question of whether or not people can really remember what they do when they sleepwalk or if they develop other accounts to replace "memories" of what they do in reality.

I think that clip is pretty accurate of what sleepwalking can be like. I have sleepwalked three times before, and I don't remember anything that happened while I was sleepwalking. I only know that I did it because of what my family has told me of what I was doing. Although I was behaving strangely, my family thought I was awake and I was functioning as if I were awake. Also, I wonder what other factors contribute to sleepwalking, such as genetics or environment.

Sleep walking is a very fascinating topic. I used to sleepwalk when I was younger, but I usually would wake up during the middle of sleepwalking. I always found it a very creepy and scary situation because I could never remember what happened before. I think sleepwalking is really interesting and I would love to learn more about why people do what they do when they are sleepwalking.

Group think is really interesting. Once you are submerged into an environment where all you learn is one way of thinking, it can be hard to get out of that thought process. You are brainwashed. It kind of relates back to nature and nurture a bit. It relates to nurture because it's the environment and the people you are around and learn from that create the way you think. This can then affect actions and someone's life.

Sleepwalking is one of the sleep disorders and many people feel interested to this topic. I may feel scared when I watch someone sleepwalking. That's really wired. And you will never know what a sleepwalker do next. Maybe he or she may kill you!
At the same time, because of the misleading of the movies or other saying, I always believe that one should never wake up a sleepwalker, or something horrible will happen. Although psychology prove that it's totally safe to do so, I still feel scared.

A great clip, just the humor was a bit cheesy. Plus I don't think that a sleepwalker can respond to questions that well while sleepwalking. Other than that, I agree that sleepwalking can be very dangerous in adults, especially ones that drive while sleeping. It is very important that people get the recommended amount of sleep. I think there needs to be more awareness on the matter, for it can be too late!
