A British woman spends about $ 8,000 on shopping while she sleeps!

A British woman spent 6,000 pounds (about 8,000 US dollars) on shopping while she sleeps, in a rare medical condition.

Alyssa Dalton, 39, has suffered from sleep disorders since she was young, but her condition began to deteriorate over the past years, as she began to do things while she sleeps that she does not remember when she wakes up.

A report by "The Sun" newspaper revealed strange and amazing stories about Alyssa, who no longer knows whether she should laugh or cry about the situations that happen to her.

Alyssa, a nurse and podcaster who lives in Indiana, USA, with her son Gage, 17, and husband Jason, 39, says that when she was five, she would fall asleep in bed and wake up on the kitchen floor.

When she was 14, her mum left the family suddenly and her dad died, so she moved in with her grandmother, where things got even worse.

Alyssa says she would have full conversations with her gran in her sleep, and she didn’t believe her when she told her, until she recorded a conversation one night and played it back when she woke up.

In May 2015, Alyssa met her husband and they moved in together, soon getting married.

One day, Alyssa received a package from eBay containing a pair of gold sunglasses. Confused, she logged into her account and found that she had offered the seller £26 in the middle of the night. The woman says she laughed about the situation that day, but she had no idea it was just the beginning. Between 2015 and 2018, Elisa bought six more items in her sleep. They were all inexpensive clothes. Then in June 2019, when she graduated and started working as a nurse, she developed a habit of sleeping shopping.

Elisa says she first received more than 30 pairs of tennis shoes and loads of socks. Packages arrived filled with sparkly miniskirts and leather dresses, even though she was only wearing pants. Her husband would joke that there were two very different women living inside her, “Sleeping Elisa” and “Wakeful Elisa.”

It didn’t stop with clothes. Over the months, handbags, hair products, makeup kits, and boxes of toilet paper arrived at her home. And her husband was incredibly patient. He tried to find a solution, deleting all her shopping apps, moving her smart devices away from her bed, even hiding them. But she always found them. By late 2019, Elissa says, it was getting worse and she started therapy. She learned that shopping was a response to losing her parents, and was diagnosed with a sleep disorder. Things got better for a while, but working in intensive care during the pandemic was so stressful that the shopping symptoms returned. In late 2020, Elissa found an email in her inbox from Chanel thanking her for her order. Her blood froze, knowing that Chanel bags cost thousands of dollars.

Elyssa says that over the years, she has spent more than £6,000 in her sleep on things she has not been able to return. Fortunately, she has not been shopping in her sleep for a few months.
