My husband typically gets up 4/5 times in the night. It usually starts at 2am and he gets out of bed, puts all the lights on, has a shave and a shower, gets dressed opening and shutting drawers and cupboards until I'm completely awake, then goes downstairs while I try hard to get back to sleep. He tends to come back to bed within 15 minutes, getting into bed with his clothes on, then gets up again at 3am, 4am, 5am until I give up and get up myself, normally about 5.30am/6am.
One night last week he left the bedroom at about 3am without getting dressed, and I went back to sleep. He came back to bed some time later and woke me briefly, saying something about socks, but I was exhausted (usually am because of repeatedly broken nights) so I went back to sleep. In the morning I found that he had left socks in the kitchen covered in mud and tattered and torn. He was covered with bruises and scratches and it appears that he went out of the house in his vest, pants and socks and wandered about in the fields behind our house. He said he was told to do it, though he says he doesn't hear voices. This is certainly a first, and he's been checked for any infections or underlying illness. Has anyone else encountered this strange behaviour?
