澳洲奇女子 梦中买买买
Sydney woman spends thousands of dollars online shopping while she's in a deep sleep
FOR most of us, sleep is the only time during the day where we can get away from our screens and get a bit of rest.
对大部分人来说,在面对各种屏幕一天后,终于可以在睡觉休息的时候远离电脑了.
But not for 27-year-old Rikki Mortimore, who shops online in her sleep.
但27岁的丽奇·莫蒂默却会在睡梦中上网购物.
"I've spent around $1500 so far, but I've returned around 85 per cent of the items I've bought," Rikki, who works as an online designer in Sydney, told news.com.au.
丽奇现居悉尼,是一名网络设计师.她告诉澳大利亚新闻在线："算下来,我已经在熟睡时网购了近1500美元的东西,不过其中约85%的东西已经被我退掉了."
Rikki says her abnormal sleep behaviour is only a few months old, which she thinks stemmed "from a few incidents as a child".
丽奇称,自己的反常行为始于几个月前.不过,她认为,这与发生于"自己小时候的几则轶事"息息相关.
"When I was a kid, I would sometimes sleepwalk," she said.
她说："我小时候偶尔会梦游."
"Once, I walked through my house and straight to our alarm system. It was switched off that night, but I typed in the pin and set the alarms off in the middle of the night.
"有一回大半夜,我穿过整座房子,径直走到警报器前,输入了密码,触发了原本关闭的警报器."
"My mum found me standing there as sirens were going off around me. It was a one off incident, so we didn't take it seriously and seek treatment."
"我妈发现我站在那儿,四周警报大响.不过后来这样的情况再没发生过,我们也就没当回事,没去看医生."
During her teenage years, Rikki would often set three alarms during high school, because while asleep, she would switch each clock off and in turn, run late to school.
青少年时期也有轶事.那时丽奇上高中,每天要设三个闹钟,因为她总会在睡梦中关掉闹钟,害得自己第二天迟到.
