On Oct. 3's ''Survivor,'' Ghandia Johnson objected to Ted Rogers' ''grinding against me'' in his sleep. Ted said he thought he was with his wife. Legit explanation or tired excuse?
It's more than just a Hollywood gag (think John Candy and Steve Martin in ''Planes, Trains and Automobiles''). Rafael Pelayo, a Stanford prof who studies sleep disorders, says people have gone all the way while unconscious -- ''just like sleepwalking.'' And he says a person disoriented by a new environment is especially vulnerable; the strange bedfellow needn't even resemble his regular mate. ''If a gorilla lay next to him,'' says Pelayo, ''he'd do the same thing.'' Sweet dreams, Ted.
