A woman who records her sleep-talking husband’s mutterings has become an internet sensation.

In the past week, over half a million people from over 50 different countries have read the blog.

In her ‘Sleep Talkin’ Man’ blog, Karen Slavick-Lennard says, that her “mild-mannered English husband” Adam lives a “colourful existence in his dreams”.

Adam, who works in advertising, talks about everything from potatoes and pants to surreal comments about vampire penguins and zombie guinea pigs.

After “hours of delight at his dead-of-night musings”, Karen decided to tape them and share them with the world.

The couple, from London, say they are “overwhelmed” by the blog, Karen’s Twitter page and Facebook group becoming a massive viral hit.

On Tuesday this week, Adam muttered: ‘Pork chops are most satisfying. Mmmmmmm. Dangle them from the ceiling’.

According to his wife, Adam has never eaten pork chops!

Other comments from Adam include:

‘Shhhhhhhhh. Shhhhhhhhh. I’m telling you: your voice, my ears. A bad combination’.

‘Potato bags. I can’t find my potato bags. I need them desperately. Who’s got my potato bags?’

‘Vampire penguins? Zombie guinea pigs? We’re done for … done for’.

‘Since when did my underwear look good on you? Take it off. Take it off your face’.

‘I haven’t put on weight. Your eyes are fat.’

‘I can’t believe in God when I’m THIS good!’

‘Oompa loompas don’t sing in heaven. They tidy up the clouds’

‘Don’t leave the duck there. It’s totally irresponsible. Put it on the swing, it’ll have much more fun’.

‘My vision of hell is a lentil casserole’.

Karen began logging Adam’s night-time musings on a laptop last year before switching to a voice-activated tape recorder.

She said: “I just cannot believe what he comes out with,  and neither can he when he listens to the tapes.   We laugh like crazy every morning.

“Adam’s personality is completely different to Sleep Talkin’ Man. He is a witty, kind, delightful, humble man.  He thinks of it as a different person.”

The couple are now selling T-shirts amd bags featuring Adams hilarious comments via their site http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/
