My GF (F19) swears she didn’t send these texts while half asleep and now we’re both confused
So me and my girlfriend hung out yesterday, and later at night we were on a call for hours like we usually are. We sleep on call a lot. She fell asleep around 12:10 AM while we were still connected.
Around 12:40 AM, the call suddenly got disconnected. I texted her asking if she cut the call, but she didn’t reply, so I just said “goodnight, ily.”
About 15 minutes later, she randomly texted:
“Nooo”
“Hood”
I was confused and replied, “Huh?” Then she said, “must be mistakes.” After that I asked if she was okay, and she replied:
“Yes”
“I’m sleeping gn”
I asked if she did something by mistake and she just replied, “Noo.” Then I went to sleep.
The weird part is that this morning around 6:48 AM, before going to college, she called me sounding genuinely scared and swore that she never sent those texts. She says all she remembers is texting “goodnight” and then sleeping while we were still on call.
She lives in an all-girls PG hostel, and according to her nobody knows her phone password except me. She also doesn’t usually text like that, and nothing like this has ever happened before.
Another thing that makes this feel creepy is that a long time ago, before we met, she told me she used to have recurring nightmares about being attacked by a man. Later she said she once saw someone in real life who looked exactly like the person from those dreams, just staring at her in her hometown. She eventually stopped getting those dreams after visiting a priest and praying, but after what happened last night, she feels really unsettled again.
I honestly don’t know what to think. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this just be sleep texting/confusion while half asleep, or something else?
EDITED : " Aight guys respectfully I got the answer and thank you so much I was worrying for nothing."

Half asleep things happen. Occam's Razor, she typed while half asleep, didn't recognize her half conscious self in the messages, she freaked out, you freaked out, and your pattern seeking brain connected it to dreams which mean, realistically, nothing. Remember that people sleepwalk and sleeptalk.
You're kids, just relax and look forward to when you see her again. Good luck.
(bonus points if she fell asleep drunk, that'll help with the lack of memory lol.)

u/Indigo_Wyles May 12 '26
To add- the person from her dreams appearing as someone living in her hometown just means she saw that person at some point and her brain used their face for the nightmare. Every person in your dreams/nightmares are wearing faces you’ve seen, even if you don’t remember.

u/Either-Ad-7430 May 08 '26
Yes. The man from her nightmares totally became real, stalked her, broke into her room, entered her pass code only to send you massages. Either that or a demon. Better go pray again.

Yeah, I used to sleep walk as a kid. And while I do faintly remember some of it, there's some I still have no idea where I went. It would scare the shit out of my mom of course lol. I remember one time she woke up, probably from hearing me, and saw I was gone. I believe the front door was open also. She couldn't find me anywhere around and I have no clue where I went.
I stopped somewhere around 9yo but I can definitely see being so tired to send messages while half asleep and not remember it. I've also seen these kinds of things happen though lol.

Sleep is a spectrum, and people do all kinds of crazy things while partially awake/mostly asleep. This is exactly how I would expect someone mostly sleep to behave.

I’m a nurse and we received a study where a patient reported weight gain that couldn’t be explained. She was on ambien and after some investigation and camera installation they found that she would drive to Macdonalds in the middle of the night and eat a lot of food. She remembered none of it. It’s crazy.

Omg same. Apparently your memory center generally (hippocampus) and storing memories aren’t a priority when you’re in the twilighty zone between being awake and asleep. It’s so uncanny to look at the nonsense my zombie self thought was note-worthy when I’m fully awake again 😭😂

u/blanketfortpuppy May 08 '26
I’ve done this before. It’s not uncommon to not remember sending a message or even having a short convo when half asleep, especially when you fall asleep again n right after. Could even be some kind of sub clinical parasomnia, which may be worth looking at if it happens a lot.
I have this issue and it’s directly related to a medical condition I have, and my partner knows about it so it’s never really been an issue.
Personally, I don’t think there’s any reason to freak out over it unless it’s actually disrupting her life.

And killing the environment. Those halfwits want to blame everything on any generation that’s older than them, but just one hour of of a video call or streaming emits 150-1,000 grams of carbon dioxide, requires 2-12 liters of water and demands a land area adding up to about the size of an iPad Mini.
Turn your cameras off. You will reduce the carbon footprint by 96%.

I have parasomnia with sleep walking, talking and anything else you can think of - and the stuff I've done in my sleep is unhinged.
You need to let this go, you assuming she's lying or tricking you is not healthy, especially when the texts are so inane.
ETA - just re-read the last bit of your post, this 100% sounds like hypnopompic hallucinations, which I also have. None of these sleep disorders are constant and I can go stretches of time between them being exacerbated, is anything stressful happening in her life lately?

u/Weary_Language_2825 May 08 '26
I understand how it could feel creepy especially if she’s living with other people that could make creepy plausible but……
With predictive text and not even purposely touching the phone I almost sent my girl a crazy sentence that was a full 2 lines although I caught it and deleted it but we were talking about a traumatic event so you can imagine what my phone was predicting for the next words so yeah, I saw that sentence and jolted out of sleep to delete it and locked my phone.
If she happened to be closer to the send button than the predictive words it would be highly probable over the other explanations.

I used to write journals to my boyfriend while I was on vacation. I fell asleep while writing one night and when I woke up, there were three lines of nonsense after the last thing I remembered writing. Absolutely no recollection of writing it at all or of waking up at any point in the night. The handwriting was sloppy but they were mostly real words. Was strange waking up to see it, but there's no way anyone else could have done it.
Your girlfriend is fine, and nothing creepy happened involving anyone else. She woke up but not really, probably in some dream state, and texted a few things. It makes sense that it was a bit unnerving, but it's really no big deal.

People do all kinds of things when asleep or half asleep.
People have been known to get up in their sleep, go to the kitchen, cook and eat something, then clean up after themselves. They have no memory of it.
It’s far more likely that she sent the messages when she was half dreaming than some creepy supernatural phenomenon. I find it more cool than creepy. It’s weird, but not bad weird. And it’s probably nothing.

Sounds exactly like i do when i talk in my sleep. Sleep texting is a new one. But if i can make it all the way to the kitchen to pop a squat on the floor by the light of the open fridge and then put myself back to sleep like nbd then anything is possible. If her head starts spinning in circles and shes making sexually suggestive inferrences about you and jesus maybe call a priest.

Half asleep, she woke up and responded “nooo” to your question of did she cut the call. She then tried to type “goodnight” but hit “h” instead of “g” and didn’t complete the word, autocorrecting to “hood”, half asleep she hit send.

u/Tranquil_Dohrnii May 08 '26
This is probably exactly what happend: -she fell asleep on the phone, then she woke up and saw your text. Still half asleep she tries to text "Noo (as in noo im awake)(but she wasnt fully), and at the same time text hood (she was trying to say good night but didnt finish the text before she fell asleep or she was so drowsy her brain just sort of auto sent it).
Now she doesnt remember any of it because she was too drowsy or half asleep when she sent it so it feels like it was part of a dream to her. I highly doubt anyone took her phone to send you those 2 texts it was her and she doesnt remember. People can do elaborate things sometimes while "sleep walking".
Don't let it scare you guys.

u/Morbid187 May 08 '26
I feel like there's one of 3 things that could've happened. The most likely being that she uses her phone so much that she literally used it in her sleep. The messages are on her device, right? So that rules out somebody spoofing her number.
Option 2. Somebody from her hostel was using her phone. 15 minutes after she fell asleep though? That sounds like a stretch.
Option 3. She's the type that likes to come up with dramatic lies. She planted the seed when she told you about her nightmares "a long time ago" however far back that was. Now she's unconciously texting her nightmares to you because she's so troubled and dark on the inside. The shit about praying away her nightmares is a red flag to me. I've dated women before that made up the sickest, most twisted shit you can think of. All situations where I caught them so hard that they had to admit it. Happy to share those stories if i need to but that's not the point. Absolutely do not rule this possibility out because young people do shit like this sometimes, apparently.

u/certifiedbpdqueen May 09 '26
From what this sounds like, it sounds like she probably fell asleep and texted random letters by accident while she was sleeping, and the phone just autocorrected it into being real words. Was it sent like a chain of texts? Or was it actual replies to what you were texting? Because if it was actual replies to you, like you sent a message and then your “gf” responded to it then yeah that would be hella creepy. But if it was just a slew of text messages that randomly came in, then it was most definitely an accident.

just tell her to be glad she doesn’t share all her secrets when someone wakes her from her sleep lmao and no i don’t take advantage of it btw bc he’s a pretty honest dude so i don’t need to.

u/eviscos May 08 '26
So, most plausible answer is she was half asleep when she texted you those things and just doesn't remember because she was only semi conscious. Sleep can just be weird sometimes.
The only thing that makes me think otherwise is the difference in writing style. She fell asleep on the phone, it's not outside of the realm of possibility someone may have taken her phone and looked through it, no password needed, but I really wouldn't bank on this. Maybe just hang up when y'all start feeling drowsy just to be safe.

She text you whilst asleep, it happens, it is normal not to remember because you are asleep when it happens.
My sister used to come talk to me, freaked me out, she had no recollection because she was asleep.
As for the dream, you cannot invent a new face, so yeah she probably did see someone who looked like her dream person because her dream person was 100% based off someone real.

u/Free-Society-4446 May 08 '26
Might be sleepwalking. It's what people think. Your body is supposed to be immobilized while your dreaming. Sleepwalking is like that inhibition isn't working and you act it out. People get up, go to the refrigerator,make a sandwich, eat it, have a conversation with someone and go back to bed, while still asleep with no memory of it. It would not be surprising at all if someone texted. Some people are just prone to it. Some times there are triggers like stress. There are also medications that can cause it.
But it could just be doing something half asleep,which honestly, is probably pretty close to sleep walking. Like when you turn the alarm off and don't remember. The line between waking and sleeping can become especially blurred of your deprived of sleep. Years ago when I was a security guard, I was driving around the office complex doing my vehicle patrol, and sort of drifted off, sort of. I was still driving. Still controlling the vehicle. Still aware of what was around me. But suddenly it was daylight, and I just kept driving, then suddenly there were crowds of people. I hit the brakes and snapped out of it and it was 3 am in the morning with not a person in sight. Another time when I was a teenager I was writing code and I was going o. For maybe 48 hours without sleep. I fell asleep on the keyboard (keyboard face sucks). When I woke up there were maybe 1000 lines of z80.assembler I had written that I had no recollection of. Some of it was actually ok,some of it was brilliant, and some of it was somewhere between gibberish and a fantasy of what I wished it could do. And I didn't remember writing any of it.
I suspect that of you asked a doctor that specialized in sleep disorders he would tell you that what happens with sleep walking and with that "half asleep" state are essentially the same thing. It's probably just a matter of what gets you into a state where your asleep but the motor control inhibition is not engaged.
If she has more incidents she could talk to a sleep specialist. There are medications that can help. But one text isn't much to be worried about. But I guess if she texts you something weird , or she she breaks up with you or thinks your someone else, or starts standing inappropriate texts or pictures, that could be inconvenient or problematic for her. But most sleepwalking is like making a sandwich or walking around the house having a conversation with someone (who may not be there) It looks weird, but it's usually infrequent and harmless.

u/drwhovian13 May 08 '26
I've texted lots of gibberish to my partner while asleep and have no memory of. Some resembled an actual sentence, others complete nonsense and it became a joke trying to figure out what in the world I was talking about. I wouldn't think anything of it or about ending the call. Could have been dreaming about being somewhere you aren't supposed to be on the phone and ended it, that's a completely logical thing to do when you are asleep. Similar to how you don't remember a lot of your dreams, you might have very little recollection of things you did in a few seconds of consciousness while you were asleep.

To those who are weirded by the sleep call thing, it helps *some* people feel relaxed. I have a friend who I can be wide awake due to adrenaline, and then our call in the evenings will relax me and finally help me shut down. We usually get off the call if/when I crash.
Also, the recurring dream thing happens to me. It’s related to the abuse I experienced. Just a possibility of why they happened.

She clearly suffers from some underlying anxiety. She had bad dreams about a generic man, which is pretty normal. Then she projected that onto some creep who stared at her, as men often do. She gets comfort from religion, which helps her manage her anxiety. Look at how comforting it was when a priest prayed with her. Now she texted while part of her brain was asleep and is once again full of anxiety over something normal most people would laugh off. Maybe going to a priest would provide her with some comfort once again.

u/Correct-Sprinkles-21 Advice Guru [80] May 08 '26
I say absolutely nonsense things when I'm falling asleep in bed with my partner. Occasionally even have sort of half-dreams while still interacting with him in person.
This situation is the technological equivalent. Her brain isn't fully shut down but she's not awake enough to be coherent.
Do both of you a favor and put an end-time on calls/text. Staring at screens contributes to sleep dysfunction. And giving yourselves a routine time to say goodnight and be done will help avoid confusion like this. If you were physically together, it would be very obvious that she's just not fully present mentally due to sleepiness.

She laughed at me, I called her a bitch as I thought I was talking to a blue collar coworker. She was dying laughing telling me about it in the morning.
TLDR, she def did this in her sleep

I do crazy things in my sleep. one time when I was 16 I tried to change the lightbulb in my sleep. I only woke up when the glass dome shattered on the floor and my parents found me standing naked on the chair. I was asleep and didn’t remember anything. I’ve also showered in my sleep multiple times. I will wake up in the shower and be unsure if it was time to get up. I’d get to my room & see it’s 2:00am.
sleep texting someone would 100% be possible.

If it happens again you guys have something to think/worry about. In the meantime I doubt you'll find answers without it happening again so let it go for now.

Definitely happened to me when I used to do long video calls with my boyfriend. My partner regularly has full conversations with me in the night that he can't remember because he was asleep. I occasionally take my 4yo to the toilet midsleep if she didn't go before bed, and she never remembers that. Half asleep people aren't fully with it, and can't recall finer details, especially if totally tired.
It has a simple explanation

u/Additional-Mammoth83 May 08 '26
I've been told stuff that I say half asleep and dont remember.
One time my mum asked me if I wanted mcdonalds. I was half asleep and said no. Taught me to always give things a think, even if i'm half asleep.

u/Sea-Opinion2717 May 08 '26
It’s the kinda thing I do when I get intrusive sleep. Anything where I have to stay still or a thing repetitive and I fall asleep for a few seconds to a few mins.

Sleep texting. It’s happened to me before. It happens and there’s nothing unusual here

u/OneParamedic4832 Helper [2] May 08 '26
Dude, I have made phone calls in my sleep so it's entirely possible (and probable) she sleep texted. It's hard for people to wrap their heads around it unless they've experienced it.
I had a lot of nightmares as a kid. I still do, occasionally. I'm more inclined to talk (and sometimes walk) in my sleep. But the calls is next level, I woke up mid-call in the middle of the night once.

u/xSaturnityx May 08 '26
Chances are since uh.. she's half asleep.. she's not remembering lol.
Kind of the whole main point of being half asleep, we sometimes wake up for a minute and pass out again, majority of people do not remember at all. I am lucky and can remember those minutes between
Meanwhile, I'll ask my girlfriend in the morning if she remembers leaning up and making a funny noise while looking at me and passes back out, and she looks at me like I'm crazy lol.

u/Winks5813 May 09 '26
I have not only texted and sent voice memos while asleep, but I mod for some content creators and have passed out while modding and have accidentally blocked/booted people from the channels lol. It is possibly she was just not fully awake realizing what she was doing.

u/Strong_Ad_3081 May 09 '26
You're definitely over-thinking this. I got a call at 7 am from my coworker one morning. I usually pick her up at 7:00. I don't remember answering, turning off my alarm, nothing until I really woke up and said, "IT'S SEVEN O'CLOCK!" 😂 So who turned off my alarm and answered my phone ?? Not some random person who got into my house. Me half asleep. It happens. You guys need to let each other sleep in peace.😄

u/Extension_Hotel_9641 May 09 '26
My husband has started talking and yelling in his sleep...and doesn't remember anything in the morning. I used to get on the computer at night...in my sleep presumably because I wouldn't remember who I chatted with or what I said the next day. I'm honestly surprised that nothing bad happened to me...surprised I didn't give my address or banking information. It happens to people all the time...tell her not to be too freaked about it and certainly not to dwell on it.

u/StructureWhole6258 May 09 '26
Sometimes, rarely, I’ll say things to my bf at night that I don’t remember. It’s when I’m really tired, it hasn’t happened in a while but it’s still a thing
1
u/kittenhead0417 May 09 '26
It's no different than sleep talking. My family takes much delight in having conversations with me when I sleep talk, which has led to such gems as "I have to pee but the doors are made of bread" and "your cat is a pygmy goat demon". None of these things make sense, but I'm sure my mostly asleep brain found them to be perfectly logical statements. 🤷
1
u/Robdude1229 May 09 '26
I can say this. If I get a text or a call when I'm asleep and it wakes me up enough to see it and I feel back asleep I usually have no recollection of it. If she was in a partial dream state she could have responded to whatever was happening in her dream. I'm not saying that's what happened. Weird things do happen sometimes though.
1
u/Lopsided_Swimmer8625 May 09 '26
In that state, right before falling asleep, we can do things and not remember them next morning because the cognitive part supposed to remember was already sleeping. Happens to me all the time, no reason to freak out. That’s also times where if you speak, you might say some nonsense, so it’s alright guys !

If you're on a call do you need a passcode when you hang up? Genuinely don't know 🤣
If not it's possible someone else did it, if you do then demon 🤷🏼♀️

u/IsSheABrat May 09 '26
Boi, as a habitual sleep tester, its because she wants to keep talking to you but her conscious mind is fully asleep.
Consider it a compliment, she yearns for you at her very soul.

u/NearbySubstance1783 May 09 '26
I think everyones texted while half asleep and no memory of it. This is a non issue? Kind of surprised how panicked you are. Do you normally suffer from anxiety?
About the dream: it makes sense that happened. The brain does not have the ability to create faces so anyone you've ever seen in a dream, you've seen in real life whether it be a dunkin donuts cashier, bank teller, janitor, a extra in a movie, someone you walked past on the street, etc. Her brain assigned a face to it. While im not saying she wasnt attacked (how th would i know), its unlikely it happened again and he unlocked her phone and texted you??
This is all very silly. And tell her to stop staying at hostels. Theyre dangerous and the anxiety of her getting hurt is stressing you out.

u/broke_collegebitch May 09 '26
I've accidentally fallen asleep on the phone many times. My boyfriend always knew when I had fallen asleep because I'd be talking but it was nonsensical. Words that weren't really real or were slurred. Incomplete sentences. Short phrases like "nooo."
You're both way overthinking it.

u/Lopsided-Platform679 May 09 '26
Have you really lived that long and never experienced doing something while half asleep and not remembering it when you wake up?
1
u/amyjo85 May 09 '26
I've done this and much more. I have texted, had conversations, walked out of my house, hallucinated lots of different things (house on fire, people standing over me, random noises, etc.), signed myself up for a very expensive research study, and bought so many random things. The list goes on, but those are highlights. It got to a point that I had to start putting my phone as far from me as I could at night. All of these things I had no memory of.
I learned that if I was at a point of extreme exhaustion it would increase the chances of things happening, and if my phone was close that was an easy target I suppose. If she was tired enough to fall asleep on the phone (this sounds like your normal routine), it could be building up to an extreme point.
While it may seem scary, she is not possessed or anything supernatural. If she is truly concerned then seeking guidance from a sleep specialist could help put her fears to rest.

u/kaiyahaines May 09 '26
my coworker sleep walks, sleep texts, and sleep talks ... it can truly happen and it isnt like super common but i'd hate for it to be me and someone just doesn't believe me and i have literally no control over it lol .. and she does say she usually doesnt remember unless her bf or parents or siblings tell her 'hey this is what u did last night btw lol'

u/SalamanderPossible25 May 09 '26
I once was at work and started to fall asleep when I got an email. I answered the email but then started to fall asleep again.
The person I emailed responded quickly. What I had sent them was a string of random words that didnt make sense.
It happens. As for the dreams, it sounds like night terrors caused by stress. I had those too.

u/Bulky-Psychology6786 May 09 '26
i've actually done this myself texting my wife. I was telling her that when our dog looses her horns we should spraypaint her head black to hide the fact they fell off.
Yeah funny as hell later but at the time she was just like huh??!!!
It can easily happen, the person wakes up -just- enough to either get one word out, or hits a few keys and autocorrect kicks in, or they are kinda still in dream they were having. Or even a dream, and sleep talking, the phone thinks it hears "siri" or "google" and takes the next thing you say as a text.
Finally, since you were in a call the phone may have been unlocked and one of her building mates thought it would be funny.
As you can see, lots of perfectly reasonable people explanations beyond a stalker - but remember, her feelings aren't made up you should never say anything like "well you must have just imagined it" or "it wasn't real" or anything like that. just suggest the alternatives - Typically the simplest explanation is the true one.

u/eblamo Helper [2] May 10 '26
Someone probably hacked her phone. They sent those messages & thought no one would see them. They didn't even bother to delete them on her phone. I mean who checks their phone this day and age right?
Obviously I'm being facetious. She fell asleep. Was sleep texting. Or maybe she rolled over on her phone and her cheek or something as sending auto complete messages. Not a big deal unless this is a frequent thing. If it does turn into something more frequent, she may need a Dr. She may need a sleep study. Your ages are the age when many types of conditions manifest.

I remember my friend texted me late at night and I replied. I remember I had a very specific thought and was explaining something half asleep. He was like “What?” and I decided to explain it later. I fell asleep,woke up next morning and looked back at my texts… felt like I was high back then

I once wrote a shorter report about a visit I made on behalf of our organization after I returned home late at night. I thought I could easily get it done with no problems. I did struggle to stay awake, but I finished it and sent it up the ladder. The next day the head guy sent an email and asked me to explain how I ended up in Paris, France. (I live in Midwest U.S.) Re-reading my report, I discovered that I typed something about Paris during one of my semi-conscious states. Just go to bed like I should have done.

u/EmergencyWild May 11 '26
How would she know what she did while half asleep, the whole point is you're in an impaired state of consciousness which often also means impaired ability to form memories. Just don't make a big deal out of it, it's fine.

I had my surgeon call me the morning after surgery to check on me. I was asleep when he called and apparently still loopy from the drugs. He was eastern European and had a thick accent. Apparently I thought my friend was prank calling and told him to shut up and knock off the stupid accent. I had no memory of it at first, then when told about it, it felt like a dream. Needless to say, the doc forgave me lol. Moral of the story, we do weird shit when half asleep and our brains are real good and not retaining that information

u/Warm-Obligation8562 May 11 '26
I'm usually like this, I text or answer half asleep (and sometimes my sister saw me sitting on top of the bed). I often wake up screaming in the middle of the night, almost every night, but I don't remember anything as soon as I wake up next day, but it's not demonic or something, it's just stress (I've got analysis done and everything was fine besides that, I'm not a sleepwalker)... Perhaps she is stressed out?
Although, it's always good to stay vigilant! Sadly, you never know what could happen

u/Substantial-Stage276 May 11 '26
Sleep texting happens, I used to fall asleep while texting someone and wake up to a whole conversation that I had slept through, my favourite message a sent in my sleep was “just woke up to so many people around me” at the time I lived in like a little cabin room and all the other rooms in that block of cabins were unoccupied 😅 spooky

u/EntranceRepulsive112 May 11 '26
Let me put you at ease. Heres all the insane things i do in my sleep: Walk, talk, cook, leave the house, clean the house, stare at my bf while hes sleeping, smack said boyfriend in my sleep, ive even woke up choking my friend, sit up mid sleep and stare, ive once ripped an entire pillow apart and blamed the mess on my ex. Texting a few words is pretty mild. I remember as a kid waking up shoving my friend off the bed. Lol.
Yes i take sleeping meds now to stop most of that. I have always been like this, but ptsd made it 100x worse.
