Film your self while you sleep - The Weirdest thing you will ever experience.
690 replies, posted
Due to films like Paranormal activities I always have wanted to film my self sleep, not to capture ghosts or something stupid like that. Just to see what I am like, as I wake up in some weird positions.
I'm going to film using my Xbox 360 vision cam, I hooked it up to my PC and downloaded a 14 day free trail of Debut Video Capture Software. The best choice by far!
- Videos saved as .Mp4 only take around 500mb for 6 hours of footage.
- You can set up a schedule, my webcam was fine in the dark but if you can't get a decent picture you can schedule it to start recording in the early hours of the morning when the sun is setting.
- It works.

The view of Debut video capture software, plus the view I filmed my self sleeping in (Pardon the not made bed.)

The settings are pretty much all default except I recorded it as an .Mp4 instead of the default AVI.
I set up my microphone for which I used my Band Hero microphone which is actually really good and I had clear audio as well, which can be important for later on.
I hit record and went to sleep.
I woke up with around six hours of footage, it only took around 500mb and I started watching it. IT IS SO FREAKY.
Seriously watching your self toss and turn, sit bolt up right and re-position the blanket as if you were awake is so fucking scary. I deleted it as soon as I had watched it as it really is scary. I even curled up into a ball at one point and nearly fell off the bed! I also snore REALLY loudly.
Put the video into a video editing software and then look at the audio line, look for peaks in the audio and skip to those moments as this is most likely to be something interesting, be it you tossing and turning or even getting up and walking.

Seriously try it! It's REALLY weird but well worth it.
Time-lapse: I originally downloaded a program to make a time-lapse of me sleeping, but it wont work. It takes a picture when ever you set it to (For example every 5 seconds) but that means you miss out a lot of detail. For instance if on one frame you suddenly sit bolt upright, you wont know what's happened. So using the way above is the best method, that is if you have your PC in your room!
No way am I posting screens/video of myself, but if any one is brave enough to show us some highlights from their videos feel free!
Good luck!

I will try this if i can ever get hold of a camera.
If I had a webcam, I would film me "sleeping" but I would totally ham it up and start walking and doing creepy shit, then post it and say I did this all while I was sleeping.
Too bad I spoiled my plan so nobody else can do it. :c00lbert:
I will do this. It sounds like an interesting experience.

I can't even sleep when my computer is on so i probably can't do this.
I actually did this a long time ago, freaky things happend.
Here's a vid from one of the things:

That's pretty creepy.
I did this one night. It was real interesting.. until I realized I didn't turn it off until after I had went to school, came home with my girlfriend and fucked her in my room. Sure, I got a video of her and me.. but it was kinda awkward to watch... (But she doesn't know I have it. :v: )
The basis behind it (to those disagreeing) I turned my monitor off and keyboard backlight off. I couldn't check it before school so I went to school and came back home (with girlfriend who lived a block away) and we went inside and did our thing, when she left I brought everything back online and realized it had recorded everything. I don't see how that's not believable really.

Because only you would know what that would look like when looking at sound waves.

Yeah, i also had another one of me actually talking but i think it got lost. Thinking of recording me the next few days.
I could never do this in case I found out I am visited my aliens or something.
I did this one night out of curiosity.
I just tossed and turned alot.
Nothing interesting.
I'm lame. :(
turns out i masturbate when i sleep
When I was a kid, I went to a camp, and some kid was infamous for saying things in his sleep. Some of these included:
"I like to watch people when they sleep, and when they look, I pretend I'm sleeping."
"Scott. Scott. Scott. [etc.]" (Scott was our camp councilor)
Dokaman, maybe you can add my vid to the OP as an example?
My roommate's girlfriend tends to talk in her sleep. One time in the middle of the night she sat upright, crossed her arms and said "What do you mean there's no cheese in the sky?" Then promptly fell back on the pillow, still fast asleep. Freaked out both of us.
If you're opposed to filming yourself sleep, I'll film you for a nominal fee.
I think this guy might just be advertising Debut Video Capture Software. After all, he talks about how great it is for half the post, then says that he deleted the video. But why wouldn't you advertise Debut Video Capture Software(TM)? It has a full feature set, AND it compresses the video perfectly! Debut Video Capture Software(TM) is the best!
I'd do this, except I sleep mostly naked and am not a legal adult yet.
My brother talks in his sleep every night at around 12 AM
And he snores like an asshole, I can hear him from down the hall
I remember one time I was talking in my sleep, and my talking woke me up. It was pretty freaky, I thought somebody came into my room, but I woke up and nobody was there.

What does he say?
I really need to try this.
[QUOTE=Chezhead;30294308]What does he say?[/QUOTE]
Probably creepy things, like "I will kill you". or maybe just mumbling.
I'm not particularly interesting asleep, but apparently one night when I used to share my bedroom with my brother I said "I.. I'll.. I'll make the trampoline tomorrow"
I'm going to do this tonight, but I'm not sure if I'll upload it to Youtube or something
the single largest drain on my camera batteries
