Susan Gentry Poet Acrostic

Sleepwalking

Slow wave sleep stage in a state of

Low consciousness with

Eyes wide open, as if awake,

Even though make no mistake, if

Performing activites

With normal energies 

Appear with glazed expressions

Likewise make no suggestions.

Known causes unknown...

Inherited or environmental zone.

Nothing like alcoholic blackout...

Generally, eating or sexual workout

Andrea Dietrich July 29, 2018 at 3:41 PM sexual workout. That last part was sure unexpected!! It's such a strange phenomenon. I don't believe I have ever walked in my sleep, have you? (hmmm, I drove in my sleep once. That did not turn out too well!!) Susan Gentry July 30, 2018 at 3:09 AM No, no sleepwalking. Driving while asleep? That's beyobd scary!
