Mala of The Wrong Side of Happiness posted about sleep eating. She referenced an article from a ABC affiliate. Interesting stuff.

My step-father did this every night. Cookies and milk. He and my Mom were probably married 2 years before we happen to stumble upon the fact that David didn't realize he did this. David never believed he did it.

I would come home from a date or whatever and David would be standing by the kitchen counter dunking cookies in milk. He'd eat 2 to 4 cookies, down the milk and head back to bed. Whole procedure, maybe 3-5 minutes. He would talk if you asked him a question, but short replies.

It became sort of a joke after awhile, and we would attempt to wake David up, but he would always insist he was awake and look at you funny. No amount of coaxing could stop him from going back to bed after those few minutes. The few times there were no cookies in the house, David would grab a box of cereal and eat a couple of handfuls right out of the box. Weird, but something we all thought was normal for Dave. Well everybody but Dave.
