Carrying On Full Conversations

by Nick

My girlfriend and i talk on the phone every night before bed. After we've been talking for a while its usually pretty late, we continue talking carrying on normal conversation nothing unusual when out of nowhere she will begin talking about something random like her love for certain foods. This is when i realize she is actually asleep.

There are times when we carry on talking she sounds completely awake and i even ask her if she is asleep or not and she swears she is wide awake but moments later will cut off mid sentence and actually wake up and tell me she had been sleeping the whole time with no recollection of anything that was exchanged during her slumber.

This happens nearly every night while on the phone and we can talk about anything, she converses just as if she were awake even bringing up her own topics if i stay silent for too long but she never remembers anything that we talked about and she tends to be more open and honest about some subjects she usually prefers not to talk about.

Is there a name for this? I have never heard someone talk and carry on like this while asleep before, most of the time i dont even notice she is sleeping at all until she wakes up still talking mid sentence wondering what she was just saying to me and tells me she's been sleeping the whole time. Its very interesting to me.
