| 610830 | 2007-11-12 04:14:00 | Travelodge's current crisis with sleepwalkers in the buff . The hotel chain now keeps towels on hand at the front desk to help lost souls cover up when they wake up and find themselves out in public with, well, everything out in public . Towels? Maybe they should use robes . According to Travelodge ( . travelodge . com/Travelodge/control/home" target="_blank">www . travelodge . com), the incidence of naked sleepwalking, which occurs almost exclusively among its male guests, has increased sevenfold in the past year . Now the staff is learning how to deal with this unsettling trend . It's called a "phenomena . " Sleepwalking is not very common in the general population (estimates vary between 1 and 15 percent) . It's more common in children than in adults, and Travelodge may be seeing more men than women in this behavior simply because it has more male than female guests . What's with all these men sleeping buck naked? ABC TV News' poll called "American Sex Survey," which was done three years ago (this kind of data tends to be evergreen) . Guess what: men are twice as likely as women to sleep in the nude (31 percent of men, 14 percent of women) . Who knew? |

| 610833 | 2007-11-12 05:25:00 | We had this on our news in New Zealand about a week maybe two weeks ago. At the time they reported that they had had about 400 people sleepwalking naked down into reception areas and that they were starting to give extensive company wide staff training on how to deal with it, along with keeping the extra towels. Jen you seem to be worried. What Travel Lodge do you frequently visit? |
