Started buying things online in my sleep!?

Well I have had sleeping problems for many years, the Dr's never seemed to be too bothered about it so I treated myself with over the counter sleep aids (Sominex) I have been taking these for months maybe 8 months consistantly because it was the only way I could fall asleep. Well a week ago I stopped taking them and last night and the night before I have had multiple lucid dreams and I have been sleep walking.

One of the lucid dreams I had was; getting a new tattoo done and I'd actually scratched one into myself with my finger nails. I woke up with blood all over the bed sheets.

This morning I woke up to find my PC had been turned on in the night and I had infact purchased a game on Steam called "cat lady." I explained it to Steam and I was refunded (thankfully) I don't recall anything.

No one else could have done it as my door is locked and I sleep alone. I really don't remember it. My dad also sleep walks sometimes he wakes up and scratches the walls. I haven't slept properly since I started school and I'm 25 now I gave up on seeing the Dr because they really do not want to help. Is this a temporary problem that will go away is there something seriously wrong and is there anything I can do?

    Viki, This is a known problem. You need to see a doctor and get yourself to a sleep clinic, or self-refer if you're in a country where you can do this. You can get help for this problem.
