I'm not known to sleep walk or anything of the sort but it seems that I may be starting, sort of.
Last night, apparently, while still lying in bed asleep, I picked up my bedside gun, pointed it in a safe direction and dropped the mag out. I was starting to rack the slide to clear the chamber when my wife asked what was wrong. Being unconscious and confused I didn't respond but I stopped what I was doing. She once again asked what I was doing. At that point I woke up, still slightly confused, and replied that I have no idea what I'm doing. Which was the truth, I had absolutely no idea why I had retrieved my bedside gun and started to clear it in my sleep. She said she didn't sleep the rest of the night because she was petrified that I would do it again only I would do the opposite of clearing it.
I now don't know what to do. My trust in myself has been shaken, and my wife's trust for me to not do stupid things in my sleep is now shaken.
Should I get tested for sleeping disorders? Make the gun more inaccessible? What would you do?
This is a big deal for me because I'm a strong believer in having a bedside gun for those "bumps in the night".
ETA, if it helps any, last night we stayed up much later than usual watching Prison Break on Netflix. Could this have contributed in some way?
