Somnambulism

Question: Somnambulism? This is a new thing for me: two nights this week, I woke up to find my son in my bed, having no recollection of waking up in the night and getting him. Anytime I wake up in the night, for whatever reason, I _always_ look at the clock and remember in the a.m. what time I woke. This was not the case for the two nights this week. So I think I must be sleepwalking. Besides being wierd, it worries me because what else might I do in my sleep? I've heard somnambulism can be dangerous too. Has anyone else experienced this? And also experienced it suddenly, older in life (I am 30)- I know kids do this more frequently than adults too. Thanks.

Answer: I have never sleepwalked, but my brother used to. He used to leave the house most nights, luckily, he generally ended up next door so he didn't go too far. We couldn't lock the door as he would still get out somehow, so it was best to let him go out the front door rather than damage himself trying to get out of a window or something.

Question: How can a person with somnambulism walk when he/she is sleeping and can't see any thing?

Answer: Sleepwalkers engage in their activities with their eyes open so they can navigate their surroundings, not with their eyes closed and their arms outstretched as parodied in cartoons and Hollywood productions. The victims' eyes may have a glazed or empty appearance and if questioned, the subject will be slow to answer or unresponsive. While sleepwalking itself does not inherently pose a health concern, accidents may happen as the subject is performing actions without the control of conscious mind.
