(Travelodge, which runs more than 300 business hotels in Britain, says sleepwalking rose seven-fold in the past year, and 95 percent of the somnambulants are scantily clad men. "We have seen an increased number of cases over the years so it is important that our staff know how to help sleepwalking when it arises," Leigh McCarron, the chain's sleep director, said in a statement. One tip in the company's newly released "sleepwalkers guide" tells staff to keep towels handy at the front desk in case a customer's dignity needs preserving. The company said naked wanderers often ask receptionists such questions as "Where's the bathroom?", "Do you have a newspaper?" or "Can I check out, I'm late for work?" Studies have found that sleepwalking can be brought on by stress, alcohol, eating cheese or consuming too much caffeine. It generally takes effect an hour or two after going to bed, when people are first slipping into a deep sleep. Asked on Thursday why she thought 95 percent of its sleepwalkers were naked men, a Travelodge spokeswoman said: "We have more men staying with us than women, so that could be a factor." Thank God when I stay in a hotel I wear pyjamas because I have sleptwalk in the past. he he Alan.

Why cure them? Perhaps we could just accept nudity instead.

But on a more general note I'll follow Westnorwood. I have a problem with names of people and sometimes cities. I regularly call people I have known for years by another name... even my dearest and nearest...and yes, it can be embarrassing in those situations **. I also keep saying Shanghai when I mean Guangzhou, just down the road. I have no idea why this is, but it has been with me for half my life. I guess it is a related problem that if I learn a word in Chinese today I just cannot remember it tomorrow. On the other hand, I have no problem remembering visa or other technical regulations, or if I read a document I instantly notice a contradiction 20 pages on.

** I found a solution. I only go out with women called Fiona, :)

In summer, many people climb up to the roof of a single-storey house to spend a hot night. There are no fence on the flat roof, i was never allowed to sleep on the high roof. I cried and cried, and my parents explained that you might walk out of the roof.
