What Happens When Sleepwalkers Go Online?

Researchers from the University of Toledo have reported the first ever case of someone using the internet while asleep, after a sleeping woman sent emails to people asking them over for drinks and caviar.

The 44-year-old woman, whose case is reported in the latest edition of medical journal Sleep Medicine, had gone to bed at around 10pm, but got up two hours later and walked to the next room.

She then turned on the computer, connected to the internet, and logged on to her email account. She then composed and sent three emails. Each was in a random mix of upper and lower cases, not well formatted and written in strange language.
