"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."
Somnambulist:
My friend was taking sleeping pills, which turned her into a somnambulist whenever she took one.
Insomnia:
She has suffered from insomnia for many years and has taken sleeping pills her doctor prescribed.
Somnolent:
She said the problem is that she's rarely somnolent because her brain is always on and her mind is always racing.
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
Somnambulists can be scary when you're staying with them for the first time
I once a post from someone who suffers from insomnia and epilepsy. It's not something I wish on my enemies
Imagine you're in a flight and the pilot is somnolent. Just start praying
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE:
Somnambulist:
In my haste, I grabbed my shotgun and shot the man carrying a fruit salad and a bag from the grocers because he wouldn't drop the stolen items, only to find out later that he was a somnambulist.
Insomnia:
So now I sit in the padded wall chamber expecting to become an insomniac.
Somnolent:
The nurse, a irresponsible somnolent, feeds me some goop filled with this pasty green shit in it.
Good work! One can never be too careful, and someone parading as a salad-carrying somnambulist could in fact be a crazed murderer, or even a .... terrorist!!!
ha! He was probably a black dude to boot!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE:
Good work!

MY VOCAB PRACTICE.
Even though he was a quiet person, he could scare you pretty badly when it turned into a somnambulist.
I've been fighting with insomnia for over 2 years and the medicine became like an addiction.
The somnolent mood made me not be focused on what the teacher was explaining.
Good work!
