Woman sends coherent texts while asleep

Paramedic Kandi Gay suffers from a sleeping disorder that causes her to send text messages while asleep.
Despite being unconscious Kandi is able to send completely coherent text messages to her friends due to a condition that's similar to sleep walking. "Nine times out of ten, I have no idea I'd texted in the middle of the night or I responded to a text," she said. Sleep specialist Dr Ashkay Mahadevia recommends sufferers simply avoid keeping their phone with them when they go to bed. "They're not totally asleep or awake in their consciousness, so they're in a limbo state, and that's where they act and do these things," he said.
Kandi Gay, a paramedic in the Quad Cities, sends coherent texts while she is sleeping and what's more - doesn't remember them when she wakes up. She will continue conversations with friends through the texts before putting the phone down and going back to sleep.

I wonder if she takes a hypnotic to go to sleep, like Ambein. You can do all kinds of things in your "sleep" on those medications. Drive, cook, have sex, etc. And have zero memory of it afterwards.

I'm thinking this is a fake, mostly based upon the name of the supposed texter... Although I suppose there are a LOT of folks with that last name... http://names.whitepages.com/last/gay But Kandi? Also, this interviewed portion just sounds so contrived: "Her father Wayne Gay revealed his daughter started texting a few years ago. He said: 'She'll go to sleep and then I'll come in and see her texting, her phone up in the air with her eyes closed - she'll be texting and lay it down, and she won't know what she's doing.' Really... Texting with one's eyes actually closed. This would require some se... [More]

Really... Texting with one's eyes actually closed. This would require some several excellent grail skills. Before I bought my Blackberry (which has a qwerty keypad) I could send page long texts in maybe 10-20 seconds, one handed, without looking at the phone on my old Samsung. Playing guitar without looking at the neck is far more complex than sending texts blindly with many phones. How many guitarists do you see who stare at the neck of their guitar as they play? As far as her age compared to her father, I don't question that very often. When my Great Grandmother was 41, my grandmother, her d... [More]

Judging from some posts on Facebook and similar social websites, I imagine that many texts are sent while the sender is asleep.

As far as her age compared to her father, I don't question that very often. When my Great Grandmother was 41, my grandmother, her daughter, was 30. Your Great Grandmother was pregnant at 10?

As Dr. Drew says, anything that you can do awake, you can do asleep.

If I was her husband, I'd be a little bit suspicious to be honest.

Your Great Grandmother was pregnant at 10? I'm not sure of both their birth dates to know if she was eleven yet, but ten or eleven, yes. My grandmother was the product of sexual assault as I understood it. Though that wasn't spoken of much.
