- 0:00Speaker 1: John Jay and Rich Hi Bailey, Hi.
- 0:02Speaker 2: How are you?
- 0:03Speaker 1: What's up here on the air?
- 0:04Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, So I actually am calling because I
- 0:07Speaker 2: think I'm possessed by like a chappoholic demon or something.
- 0:12Speaker 2: I don't know. I've started sleep shopping and I wake
- 0:16Speaker 2: up to random Amazon packages on my porch with absolutely
- 0:21Speaker 2: zero memory of buying them. I finally sat down and
- 0:26Speaker 2: looked at my bank statements from last year, and oh
- 0:30Speaker 2: my god, you guys, I have easily spent over fifteen
- 0:34Speaker 2: thousand dollars in my sleep.
- 0:39Speaker 3: You need to put like a lock on your phone
- 0:41Speaker 3: orself for real, like at night, have someone else set
- 0:45Speaker 3: the lock so you can't get in.
- 0:47Speaker 2: It is so bad, Like I don't know what I'm
- 0:50Speaker 2: gonna do. I've tried moving my phone to the kitchen,
- 0:53Speaker 2: but I always find it so like I have purchased
- 0:57Speaker 2: everything from designer heels to a literal commercial grade cotton.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Candy machine that sounds amazing.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I mean it showed up to my door at eight
- 1:07Speaker 2: am and I had to wake up and sign for it.
- 1:09Speaker 2: And it's just I don't I don't know what I'm
- 1:12Speaker 2: gonna do.
- 1:16Speaker 1: It's not even a home versus. It's a commercial grade.
- 1:19Speaker 1: It's like, if I'm gonna make cotton candy, I need
- 1:21Speaker 1: to have it just like the fair kind of bizarre.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Like I don't I feel like I'm moving my mind,
- 1:29Speaker 2: and so I'm just wondering if there's anyone else out
- 1:32Speaker 2: there who's woken up to find out that they spent
- 1:35Speaker 2: their entire ren check while they were I don't know,
- 1:38Speaker 2: completely unconscious.
- 1:40Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever actually shopped while I was sleeping.
- 1:43Speaker 3: But usually, like I'll order our groceries for the week
- 1:46Speaker 3: Saturday night, and it's generally when I'm in bed, and
- 1:50Speaker 3: a lot of times I'm kind of dozing off as
- 1:53Speaker 3: it happens, and then the next day when the groceries come, I'm.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Like, I don't know what this is. Why did this
- 1:59Speaker 1: get any order?
- 2:00Speaker 3: It's because like I press something and I wake up
- 2:02Speaker 3: and I don't realize I pressed it. But I mean,
- 2:04Speaker 3: it's just random stuff like onions and chips and stuff,
- 2:07Speaker 3: not fifteen thousand dollars or the industrial size cotton candy makers.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Barely are you married?
- 2:14Speaker 2: No, I'm not, okay, So it's just your.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Own accounts, so you're you're holding yourself accountable. It's not
- 2:18Speaker 1: like your husband's like, what the hell is this? Right?
- 2:21Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not at all.
- 2:23Speaker 1: It's a sleeping disorder then, right. I mean at first
- 2:24Speaker 1: I thought you're just being funny to keep buying stuff
- 2:26Speaker 1: late at night. But this is like, like you have
- 2:28Speaker 1: no idea what you're doing. You know, this has got
- 2:30Speaker 1: to be a legit problem.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. I mean fifteen grand in a year
- 2:35Speaker 2: on random items that I had no intention on buying.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Well, it's wild because you're like logging on. Like we
- 2:40Speaker 1: were talking to people last week about people that just
- 2:43Speaker 1: were sleep peeing everywhere, right, yeah, and you can kind
- 2:45Speaker 1: of understand that. I can't understand going to your phone,
- 2:49Speaker 1: going to Amazon shopping, scrolling looking for stuff and not
- 2:53Speaker 1: remembering any of it. Right, that's weird.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Do you constantly return them or is sometimes you're like,
- 2:58Speaker 3: oh maybe I do want this.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I mean yeah, sometimes I keep the items. But it's
- 3:04Speaker 2: still it's a problem because not only am I logging on,
- 3:08Speaker 2: Like I will hide my phone from myself, like try
- 3:10Speaker 2: to you know, put it in a different room.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And like sleeping.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild.
- 3:17Speaker 1: How were you when you were awake with shopping? Do
- 3:18Speaker 1: you shop a lot when you're awake to.
- 3:21Speaker 2: No, not typically. I mean apparently I only do it
- 3:23Speaker 2: when I'm unconscious.
- 3:25Speaker 4: I actually just googled it, so I was like, is
- 3:27Speaker 4: sleep shopping, like, is this a thing? And it says yes.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Sleep shopping is a recognized phenomenon known as nocturnal purchasing,
- 3:35Speaker 4: where individuals engage in online shopping activities while in a sleep.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Like steak steak in a sleep like steak.
- 3:44Speaker 4: In a sleep sleep like stak. It's actually associated with
- 3:47Speaker 4: a sleep disorder known as parasomnias.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Is it say there's some sort of treatment for it?
- 3:57Speaker 1: Like to get it help?
- 3:59Speaker 4: Let's see sleep shopping.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Did this problem exist before cell phones? You know what
- 4:03Speaker 1: I mean? Like it's weird.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Yeah, you couldn't really, I mean the store would be closed.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Yeah, would you get up and do what? Just walk
- 4:09Speaker 1: around the house and yeah, I mean you'd have to
- 4:10Speaker 1: wander into a Walmart because that's twenty four to seven, right,
- 4:13Speaker 1: some of them? So I don't so scare Are you
- 4:18Speaker 1: able to return those things? Are you stuck with all
- 4:21Speaker 1: these purchases you've made? Take them the Nellys? Yeah?
- 4:24Speaker 2: So some of them I can return, but some of them,
- 4:27Speaker 2: you know, are not. They won't accept it back. So
- 4:31Speaker 2: some of the things I end up stuck with and
- 4:33Speaker 2: I'll like try to sell it on Facebook, Marketplace or something.
- 4:35Speaker 2: But I mean, as you can imagine, the market for
- 4:39Speaker 2: commercial grade cut and caning machines is not We'll.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Have people lining up on this show, trust me.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Okay.
- 4:45Speaker 4: So this is what the goog says about sleep shopping
- 4:49Speaker 4: and how you can kind of help fix it. So
- 4:52Speaker 4: it says you have to identify the trigger. So recognize
- 4:55Speaker 4: what triggers your compulsive shopping, and it can help you
- 4:57Speaker 4: avoid these situations. You need to set boundary by establishing
- 5:01Speaker 4: limits on how much you shop out of time but
- 5:03Speaker 4: your sleep. So I don't think you can do that.
- 5:05Speaker 4: And then the third is to seek professional help, which
- 5:08Speaker 4: is crazy.
- 5:09Speaker 1: You can't, like somehow put your phone in a room
- 5:11Speaker 1: or in a box somewhere that'll shock you. So if
- 5:14Speaker 1: you like you go to grab it, you get shocked
- 5:15Speaker 1: and you wake up and you're like, oh god, okay,
- 5:17Speaker 1: you know what I mean, or do something like that.
- 5:20Speaker 1: There must be a way. Maybe you could buy something
- 5:22Speaker 1: when you're sleeping that can do that.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I need to like invent a new thing
- 5:26Speaker 2: that I can sell on Amazon to recoup some of
- 5:29Speaker 2: the money that has. That's a good idea.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Well, Bailey, thanks for calling in. We're gonna throw that
