a study by Travelodge UK found that there has been a seven-fold increase in sleepwalking customers for this year alone: more than 400 cases, most of them naked, almost all of them men.
the research found that many walked nude into the reception area asking for a newspaper or saying they wanted to check out.
Travelodge said it was sending guides to its staff on how to deal with sleepwalkers, such as keeping a supply of towels, and possibly a bat, at hand.
just kidding. about the bat.
sleepwalking occurs during stages 3 and 4, the deepest state of sleep.
sleepwalkers will awaken confused and unable to recall any of their actions.
some even become violent (you might need that bat after all...)
although relatively normal for children, statistics suggest that 1% or less of the adult population actually sleepwalk.
so these Travelodge numbers seem off.
which is why i personally think these dudes are awake and just getting their jollies.
