Have you ever sleepwalked or sleeptalked? I am lucky that I never sleepwalked, sleepwalking can be dangerous and a few people die from it. I have sleeptalked a few times. But it only happened right as I woke up as a response to the dream I was having. Someone in my dream would ask me a question and I would answer it and wake up at the same time and verbally say the answer. In my freshman year of college I did this right as I woke up and my roommate heard me. I'm glad I have my own room now.

Very common. I can recall it happening at least once.

I don't do either, but I have a sleep condition caused by my medication.
It's a form of epilepsy, that only happens when I sleep.
My brain misfires and I get tremors that start in my head, goes down the back of my neck and into my arms and hands, causing me to clench my fists really hard.
I am asleep, but I am aware that I am asleep and that the tremors are happening, but I cannot wake up or 'come around'.
Eventually, I manage to wake up, but it's extremely hard to do it, but I realise that the only thing that will make the attack stop, is for me to wake up, actually get up and do something for 15 minutes to half an hour before I go back to bed again. Then, it stops.
It has been happening for years now and if I discontinue/change my medication, it will only make it worse due to withdrawal symptoms.
Thankfully, it doesn't happen that often and it's not dangerous or life threatening or anything..it's just bloody scary and annoying.

I have an unusual habit of holding conversations in my sleep with others around who are awake and remembering nothing about it the next morning.

I used to sleepwalk, according to my parents. They have told me I occasionally woke up and walked around and even mumbled a bit incoherently, then returned to bed. After being told this, I started locking my room at night. I was surprised when they again reported my sleepwalking, and I could confirm this by seeing the unlocked door in the morning. This activity ended a few years ago; in total, I think I sleepwalked for a year or two.

I recorded myself sleeping, and it turns out I do not snore but I do occasionally say random words like Bunny and Trin.

this girl i had a small fling with got up to use the bathroom but was all disoriented. her eyes were wide open, we had a small conversation and she didn't even remember any of it. and for the record, we went to sleep sober.

One time when I was younger I was trying to find a certain toy...One night, while I was sleeping, I randomly picked it up (from under my bed) and threw it near the front of my bed and found it there later...
And sometimes I'll have a dream of me being swept by wind or falling (something like that) and then I'll jerk awake as if I'm trying to recover from a fall...

I actually answer to my dreams in real life. It's like I mix the dream with reality.

I react to EVERYTHING around me according to my Boyfriend. I can hold up a conversation as long as I get asked questions. and simple ones at that, I'm not sure if its a sleeptalking condition or anything but I tohught it was a bit strange.
Never Sleepwalked as far as I know.

I've never sleepwalked, and as far as I know, I don't talk in my sleep. If I ever did sleepwalk, I'd be very concerned about it to be honest. I'm too aware of the fact that there are records of people having sex, murdering others, or commiting various crimes while sleepwalking, and then waking up with no memory of it. Weird stuff, but very real and very fear-inducing if you think about it too much.

I haven't sleepwalked or sleep-talked.
I've sleep-punched, though, and I've done that thing where you dream that you're falling and then it seems like you fell in real life.
My brother sleep-talks, though. Well, he mostly chuckles, but yeah.
Yeah, i haven't sleepwalked. I'm sure i've sleepedtalked before and know i sleepeat. -.-''

Sort of annoying how it feels so real too.

I never shut up. Even sleep doesn't stop it.
Well known ramblings while unconscious involved telling my friends about how much I would love to become a roller coaster tester (I wouldn't), how much I dislike star fish (uh, lolwut?), and numerous random mumblings like "I'm sorry, sir, but we're all out of that."
Can't even begin to describe all the times I've woken up to giggling when I've fallen asleep in the car. My friends very rarely tell me what I said, either.
