Sleepwalk This Way
Sleepwalking is a kind of parasomnia, a fancy term for abnormal sleep behavior. About 30 percent of American adults have sleepwalked at least once in their life, and about 4 percent have sleepwalked once or more in the past year. Besides snoozing and strolling, other telltale signs of sleepwalking include opening your eyes without seeming awake and saying nonsensical things—sleeptalking, anyone? And while sleepwalkers usually do unremarkable things like take a stroll down the hall, others have been known to embrace their inner Julia Child in the kitchen or drive around the block.
