Sexsomnia


One in twelve patients reported engaging in sexual activity while sleeping according researchers at the Sleep Research Laboratory at the University Health Network’s Toronto Western Hospital. They describe parasomniacs as people who complain of not feeling rested, but they were actually walking, talking, eating or having sex while sleeping. In fact, the new term is "sexsomnia" and first coined when it was used in a court case to free some dude charged with sexual assault in 2003. This whole concept is still controversial but the article is a good read. Rumor has it that many of our Congressmen are trying to having a National Sexsomnia Day here in the United States.
