She had to escort me back to bed safely. If anyone is having any of the occurances that several of us have mentioned, please talk to your Dr, family members etc. Its better to be safer than sorry. You are not alone.

I have pretty extensive troubles falling asleep without the help. I've had first hand experiences with making and eating food, falling asleep standing up, and not remembering things. It is very important to take right before retiring in bed for the night.
