Girl unknowingly texts in her sleep

BETTENDORF, IOWA (WIVB) - People have been known to moan, talk even walk in their sleep but what about sending text messages?

Kandi Gay is a paramedic whose schedule covers all hours of the day.

But when she goes to sleep day or night like more and more Americans she continues to work, texting as she sleeps or talking on the phone with no memory of doing it.

Kandi Gay said, "I'd be like, 'No, I slept all day or I slept all night,' and they're always like, 'No, I saw you texting.' And I'd go back and look at my text messages and have full on conversations."

Kandi's father, Wayne Gay said, "I'll come in and see her texting-- she'll be up in the air with her eyes closed. She'll be texting and lay it down."

Doctors say these people are not in a totally deep sleep and other people might eat in their sleep or even have conversations.

Treatment can take months or even years.
