Celina Myers has been sleepwalking all of her life, and she finally figured out how to manage it. By avoiding certain foods, she can have a peaceful night’s sleep and wake up in the same place she went to bed.
But for the love of her fans on TikTok, she has been purposefully triggering and documenting her sleepwalking escapades and letting us see the chaos that ensues.
Meyers is an author and beauty entrepreneur living in Ontario, Canada, and she told BuzzFeed in an interview that sleepwalking runs in the family. Both her mom and brother do it, and they helped her stay safe as a kid.
“I think the very first time I was about 4 years old and my mom asked me where I was going in the middle of the night, and I was like, ‘I’m going to see mom,'” she said. “And she’s like, ‘I am mom, go to bed.”
Now, her husband watches over her when she’s doing these experiments to make sure she doesn’t just wander into the street. She can also get aggressive, which might go badly for anybody she bumped into outside the house.
“I’m always trying to fight, which really blows me away because I am the nicest, non-fighting person in the world,” Meyers said. “I tried to fight my table and my plants in the same night!”
Replaying the videos has made her wonder if she’s processing anger she doesn’t let out during the day. But what explains this “pool party” she threw on her front lawn for David Dobrik?
@celinaspookyboo I remember dreaming about a pool party
The foods that set off the sleepwalking are usually either cheese or chocolate eaten just before bed. One time, about a month ago, she ate a chocolate cheesecake at a hotel and ended up naked in the hallway.
“When I did wake up there was like these two chairs — I took the two cushions and I put one on the front and one on the back,” Myers said. “I was really close to the front desk, and I kind of just put my head around the corner.”
@celinaspookyboo In my room, a really nice lady helped me LOL
Sharing these stories and her videos has gained Myers a huge following on TikTok because the night vision supercuts are pretty hilarious.
“People send me these messages and they’re like, you know, ‘COVID been so hard. I’ve never laughed this hard,'” Myers said. “If I can help make people laugh, I don’t mind, this is fun. It’s like my hidden weird talent, like the only thing I have going for me is the fact that I can eat cheese and be weird.”
Yes. In fact, they are so weird that people think they’re fake (I definitely have when they’ve popped up on my FYP), because they’re just too perfectly hilarious. Like this one where she sleep-farts:

“No, it’s 100% real,” Meyers insists. “It doesn’t look believable sometimes and even when I watch it back, I’m like, I can’t even post this because people are gonna think this is staged, and I hate that, I think that because I want to show every single minute of it because I find it so funny.”
Well, real or not, so do we!
