Sleepwalking is when someone walks or carries out complex activities while not fully awake. It usually happens during a period of deep sleep.

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose sleepwalking
Have you been told by others that you are more forgetful recently?
Have you noticed or been told that you have been acting strangely, differently from usual?
Treatment for occasional sleepwalking usually isn't necessary. If sleepwalking leads to the potential for injury, is disruptive to family members, or results in embarrassment or sleep disruption for the person who sleepwalks, treatment may be needed. Treatment generally focuses on promoting safety and eliminating causes or triggers.
