Today, I woke up with a black eye. Why? My husband was having a dream where he was fighting somebody and wound up punching me in the face in his sleep. I had a very important job interview this morning. FML

That's not irony. It's coincidence.

Concealer maybe or some other type of makeup that can help cover it up?

Yeah, for real. Has OP never heard of makeup? a bruise could be hard to conceal, but I'd rather put on loads of makeup than showing up with a black eye.

I know people toss and turn or talk in their sleep, but never punch. That's pretty odd. How did the job interview go? Did you at least explain what happened?

I beg to differ. During a sleepover, I accidentally whacked my best friend round the head and smacked the headboard and didn't wake up. XD

my friend hit me, and I sing in my sleep :P

Once I rolled over and smacked my brother in the face during a family vacation. I didn't know until he told me the next morning, haha.

I kicked a hole in the drywall when I was sleeping, didn't even wake up, and when I did wake up my foot was I have my wall

Hahaha, I once kicked the crap out of my mother in my sleep. I also once punched a wall in my sleep... and kicked it... and head butted it... lol @11: I was not aware moving in your sleep was considered a disorder, especially since I don't think I've met anyone who has never once moved in their sleep.

Well I tend to speak and move when dreaming too. I've awoken myself several times because I said (or screamed) something.

haha I punched a wall in my sleep a few days ago. All it took was that one punch to wake me up though because it hurt my knuckles

The interview actually went really well. I told them what happened, and they just laughed. It was the best response that I could have hoped for.

Good for you! I think if you were able to laugh off your black eye at the interview, it would show character and impress the interviewer. :)

You're manipulating the facts to try and make this seem worse than it is. While it's true that REM sleep should disconnect your brain's impulses from your body's actions, you're not always in REM sleep. When you first fall asleep, and when your body is preparing to wake up, the only part of your brain that's different from being completely awake is that your consciousness is... Somewhat lacking. It's likely that he had been asleep about 7 and a half hours or so, and was leaving the REM phase either during a dream or just beginning one, and the impulse to punch was so fierce it made him do it for real.

haha, ive done something similar, i dreamt i was fighting mike tyson and punched myself in the nose, stained my sheets red...

like you wouldn't have noticed when somebody punches you that hard in the face... RIIIIIIIIIIIGGGHHHT uhuh

I am an extremely heavy sleeper. I've been known to walk into walls while sleeping, not wake up and wonder why I have a new bruise or scratch. It is completely possible.
