Being in a long-term relationship often means discovering some quirky habits about your partner. Maybe they enjoy bizarre food combinations, like peanut butter and pickles, or perhaps they belt out pop songs in the shower. For one woman, her husband has taken it to a whole new level by chatting away in his sleep.
Meet Imgur user FunnySleepTalker (his real name is Jake), a notorious sleep-talker whose wife, Melissa, has taken to documenting his nighttime ramblings and sending them to him as amusing text messages. Jake recently shared a collection of these texts on his Imgur page, which quickly captivated nearly 400,000 viewers. Seriously, this guy is a sleep-talking legend!
His night-time conversations are a riot—sometimes he adopts different accents, and other times he’s enthusiastically declaring his love for Belgian waffles. Like most people in a deep sleep, he often forgets what his wife does for a living. Occasionally, he even becomes suspicious and accuses her of plotting against him for no reason whatsoever!
Then there are the moments when he declares it’s “smash time”—whatever that means! And often, it seems like he might have taken one too many sleeping pills.
Melissa shared with the Independent that Jake has been a sleep-talker for as long as she can remember, but she only started noting down his funny comments in 2015. One of her favorite stories happened when he was taking a martial arts class. “One night, he told me I was his sparring partner,” she recalled. “When I asked what he meant, he said something like, ‘Like fighting.’ So I probed further, and he dramatically tapped my nose and said, ‘Boop!’ I was in stitches!”
If you’ve ever lived with a sleep-talker, this might resonate with you. My partner is also a sleep talker, and I wish I had thought to document his nighttime musings. He once asked me in the middle of the night if I had prepped the potatoes for a work meeting, and he even rolled over to affectionately pat my head while calling me “the most dazzling lightbulb.”
Sleep talking can be disruptive, but like many peculiar habits our partners have, we adapt and learn to embrace them. Plus, it provides a wealth of material for lighthearted teasing—because isn’t that what love is all about?
