Being in a long-term relationship often means uncovering some of the odd quirks of your partner. Whether it’s their unusual food preferences, an unexpected love for a particular song, or, in the case of one man, the tendency to say outlandish things in his sleep.
A user known as “LongTitlesMakeMeHappy” (real name: Jake) has a unique sleep talking habit that his wife, Emily, has turned into a source of amusement by documenting his nightly ramblings and sharing them via text. Recently, Jake compiled these messages to share on his Imgur account, where they quickly gained traction, racking up nearly 400,000 views thanks to their sheer hilarity.
His night-time musings range from speaking with various accents to expressing excitement about being Belgian. Like many sleep talkers, he often forgets what his wife does for a living and occasionally accuses her of plotting against him for no reason. There are even moments where he exclaims “smash time”—a phrase whose meaning remains a mystery.
Emily recounted to the Independent that Jake has been a sleep talker since they met, but she began recording his eccentric comments back in 2014. One of the most memorable moments occurred when he was taking a martial arts class. “He started referring to me as his sparring partner,” she recalled. When she asked for clarification, Jake simply tapped her nose and said “Boop,” leaving her in stitches.
This may seem far-fetched unless you share your life with a sleep talker. My partner is one as well, and I often wish I had the foresight to document his night-time antics. I’ve experienced everything from him asking if I prepared potatoes for a work meeting to him rolling over and sweetly stating, “You’re the prettiest lightbulb.”
Though sleep talking can be disruptive, it’s just one of those peculiar traits that comes with sharing your life with someone. Plus, it provides plenty of opportunities for light-hearted teasing, which is truly what love is all about.
