Sleepwalking mum becomes YouTube hit (VIDEO)

Nick Foti's mother has become an online hit after he uploaded a video of her sleepwalking and waltzing around the kitchen in her pyjamas, something she's probably not too happy about.

In the footage - which has been viewed more than 2.5 million times - the pink pyjama-wearing mother can be seen dancing away before saying: "'I was trying to open up the tomato cage."

After uploading the bizarre footage to YouTube, Foti from New Jersey showed his mother the clip, and this being 2012 he recorded that too and also uploaded it to YouTube.  It's been watched 4 million times.

And in odd news, while clearly embarrassed by the sleepwalking film, she laughs and explains that she'd had a dream about cherry-picking or tomato-picking.
