Sleepwalking occurs when someone walks or performs complex activities while not fully awake, typically during deep sleep.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Occasional sleepwalking usually does not require treatment. However, treatment may be needed if sleepwalking causes injuries, repeatedly disrupts sleep, or impairs the functioning of the person, or harms their family members. Treatment generally focuses on eliminating causes or triggers and promoting safety.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
