1. Catatonic
First coined in the the early 1700s when a noteable wit remarked that after a speaker had taken such care to avoid straying anywhere near interest or enthusiam, the only tonic he could conceive was that he had slept with the abandon and pleasure of his cat … he was catatonic
2. Sleeprunning
Johnathan Muir is famous for his 1972 marathon. He had always walked in his sleep, but on the day of his marathon his alarm failed, but he walked in his sleep to the start and ran the full marathon fast asleep (and fortunately in pajamas). Sadly he hadn’t attached his race number and so his actual time is not officially recognised.
