A Glowing Face?

[Lt Ripley]

A little while ago, I was sleeping in my room (obviously!) and my sister who's sometimes afraid of the dark and various things came to hide under the blankets with me in my bed.

I'm a normally steady sleeper and can really tune out when tired, so I was conscious of her being next to me but I fell asleep shortly after that.

The next thing I knew, my sis was poking me in the arm, saying "Wake up!"

Terribly annoyed, cos I love my sleep, I opened an eye and asked her what her problem was.

She's looking at me and says, "Your face was glowing!" I'm like, "What the flip you talking about?!" And she tell me that my face was glowing like the moon even though there was no light source in the room and all the blinds were shut.

When I think about this incident, I try to think of some things that may have caused this, such as reflection of the moon on my face or maybe she wasn't seeing things properly, but she was adamant that she looked at me for a good 5 minutes at least and she got so freaked out that she decided to wake me up. I don't blame her!

Has anyone else experienced this and what does it all mean? I'm stumped.
