Insanely addictive.
One would assume that when you go to bed, your body goes into a comatose state for six to nine hours until you wake up the next morning. Right? Well, for my entire life (ever since I learned how to walk) — with at least one occurrence a week — I sit straight up, get out of my bed, walk around, sometimes go through drawers and move furniture (it's amazing how strong I am when I'm sleeping!), Read more
We have all heard tales involving sleepwalking; some are spooky and some are silly. We are fascinated by stories of sleepwalking because they are so out of the ordinary, like fodder for a bizarre plot twist in a soap opera. Although most cases of sleepwalking occur in children younger than 15, sleepwalking afflicts adults too. It has been used as a line of defense in modern murder cases. There Read more
Charlize glowed in gold (with a questionable hairstyle) alongside her co-star Nick Stahl at a screening of Sleepwalking in NYC last night. In the past few years she's earned a bit of a reputation for choosing roles that hide her beauty, and her newest film fits right in with the trend. According to the actress, her character's appearances don't have any impact on how she picks her parts, Read more
Charlize Theron got all done up and looked gorgeous in Lanvin for the premiere of Sleepwalking in LA last night, where she walked the red carpet with Audrina Patridge and costars Nick Stahl and Dennis Hopper. It was a pretty special occasion for Charlize, because she both starred in and produced the film. She told Entertainment Tonight, "I like all aspects of this industry; I feel so fortunate to Read more
According to Charlize Theron at the Q&A session after the Sundance premiere screening for Sleepwalking, the movie's script really spoke to her, enough to make her want to produce and star in it. I have to wonder what, exactly, the script said to her that made it seem like a real standout project. It's not that this coming-of-age story with strains of poverty and abandonment is bad, Read more
Charlize Theron walked the red carpet as both star and producer of her new movie Sleepwalking at Sundance yesterday with Stuart on her arm. Unfortunately, Buzz, who was there for the screening, didn't have a rave review for the piece...but of course Charlize looked stunning for the event. Leave it to her to make bundling up for freezing weather look sunny and glamorous. Apparently things got a Read more
Yesterday I proved to myself that I really could spend an entire day watching movies and not get tired of it. In fact, it started to work like a drug — the more films I took in, the more I wanted to watch. So, maybe it's a good thing that I leave Park City today! Check out my third collection of thoughts on this year's Sundance Film Festival: Watching four movies in a row on Tuesday, I really Read more
We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. Whether you admit you need help nodding off or are still in denial about the major suitcases under your eyes, chances are you could use an intervention: a full two-thirds of Americans say they have trouble getting enough shut-eye at least once a week. That’s pretty harrowing, considering that sleep is absolutely Read more
Food prices have been on the rise for some time now, but an upcoming study to be published Wednesday warns that they will increase even more. According to Oxfam, the price of food, mainly staples like corn, will double by 2030. A number of factors — the depletion of natural resources, climate change, growing global population, etc. — have caused more poverty in the world and the poorest Read more
Sexsomnia, also know as sleep sex, is exactly what is sounds like: sex acts that a person engages in unconsciously and involuntarily while sleeping. It's considered a variation of sleepwalking and happens outside of REM sleep, which would otherwise partially paralyze the body. Sexsomnia is often associated with shame and embarrassment, whether the sexsomniac, who rarely remembers what happens, Read more
