A 38-year-old man repeatedly tries to force his wife to have sex in the middle of the night but has no memory of his actions when he wakes up.

A married woman in her mid-20s often tears off her clothing and masturbates but remembers nothing when her partner rouses her.

For a dozen years, a 31-year-old man masturbates while asleep, at times injuring his groin. Embarrassed due to his unconscious behavior, he avoids relationships for eight years.

These are all clinically documented cases of sleep sex, or sexsomnia, part of a family of sleep disorders called parasomnias that include sleepwalking, sleep talking, sleep eating and sleep terrors.

It also kicks fucking ass for migraines!

I've tried weed once when I had a migraine, as I've heard that statement from others. It's hard to describe how it felt exactly, but it sure as hell didn't help me. It felt as if I was locked up inside my head, which was filled with pain and agony. As if there was no world anymore, just pure pain. Definitely a hard 'nope, never again' for me.

I'll just stick with popping a triptane and go to bed. The combination of migraine+triptane always gives me the weirdest dreams, it feels like insurance-covered tripping. 😋

That sucks but as with things neurological different folks will respond differently to different drugs. Considering how painless the side effects are I'd suggest most people give weed a try once for migraines but if it doesn't work then it doesn't work.

Yeah, my comment was most definitely not meant to warn others against it. Just as a heads-up that it does not work for everyone. And if you do have adverse side effects like I did: it sucks, but keep in mind that it will pass.

I think the thing it does is prevent migraines. I was getting 1-2 a month and now it's 1-2 a year. Smoking after a migraine starts makes me feel like my head might actually fall off my body, no fun.
