She has recently been diagnosed with insomnia, and is now taking non-addictive medication to assist with a healthy sleeping pattern.
最近她被诊断出得了失眠症,眼下正在服用一些非成瘾药物辅助睡眠.
But Rikki admits her strange sleeping behaviour didn't start with online shopping.
但丽奇也坦言,梦中网购并不是自己第一宗睡眠怪行.
"When I first started waking up, I would go to sleep and wake up wearing different clothes," she said.
她说："刚开始梦游那会儿,我第二天醒来会发现自己穿着与前一晚完全不同的衣服."
"The shopping incidents started when I fell asleep next to my laptop. When I was asleep, I guess I would just use it and go to websites I had visited during the day."
"有段时间,我趴在笔记本电脑前睡着了,于是就有了梦中购物的经历.我猜我就是在梦中无意识地操作电脑,上白天浏览过的网页."
Admittedly a big ASOS fan, Rikki said her fingers do all the talking when it comes to her sleep shopping stints.
丽奇本人很喜欢逛ASOS网店（译者注：英国著名网上时装与化妆品店）.梦游时,光动动手指,就买下了许多东西.
"During the day, I look obsessively at ASOS, so my fingers know where to go," she said.
她说："平日里我特爱逛ASOS,手指对操作网页已是熟门熟路."
"I have heaps of things in my shopping cart online just waiting. But most of the time I am buying things that I would never buy, so I must browse in my sleep.
"虽然我购物车里屯着一大堆东西,但其实我梦游时买下的那些并不是我平日里想买的,由此可见我梦游时也会浏览其他东西."
"My last order, I brought jumpers and swimsuits, which I really don't want. I never go swimming! I haven't in three years!
"我上次买了毛衣和泳衣,结果压根用不上.我从不游泳！这三年里一次都没去过！"
"I also bought three pairs of the same shoes once."
"有一回,我还买了三双一模一样的鞋子."
From blazers, skirts and shirts, Rikki now keeps a box under her desk where she collects the unwanted items, which she will return to the online retailer before the refund date expires.
如今,丽奇的桌子下放着一只盒子,里面塞满了她梦中买的,却用不上的东西：上衣啦,裙子啦,衬衣啦等等.她得在退货截止日前,把这些东西统统退掉.
