Quoted from the Stuff.co.nz atricle, "Possibly the strangest thing about the online purchases made by Megan Sellers in her sleep is that they are so well considered.
Take the Ksubi sunglasses she bought the first time she sleep-shopped – they were both tasteful and an exceptionally good buy at $80, down from $280. Before committing to the purchase, the 30-year-old Aucklander even Googled pictures of celebrities wearing the shades to check how they looked in-situ.
The fly in the ointment, of course, was that Sellers, a breakfast host on radio station ZM, was not in the market for shades but merely a good night's sleep.
"I remember waking in the middle of the night briefly, but I don't remember picking up my phone," she says. "In the morning there was a picture of sunglasses open on my phone, then when I checked my email there was an email confirmation saying I'd purchased some Ksubi sunglasses."
A few months later she woke to another receipt in her inbox. This time she had been sleep-shopping for clothes and bought two tasteful tops."
