What are some symptoms of sleepwalking?!

Sleepwalking (also called somnambulism or noctambulism) is a parasomnia or sleep disorder where the sufferer engages in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness while he or she is asleep or in a sleep-like state!. Sleepwalking is usually defined by or involves the person affected apparently shifting from his or her prior sleeping position and moving around and performing normal actions as if awake (cleaning, walking and other activities)!. Sleepwalkers are not conscious of their actions on a level where memory of the sleepwalking episode can be recalled, and because of this, unless the sleepwalker is woken or aroused by someone else, this sleep disorder can go unnoticed!. Sleepwalking is more commonly experienced in people with high levels of stress, anxiety or psychological factors and in people with genetic factors (family history), or sometimes a combination of both!.
Signs and symptoms
Someone who is sleepwalking may:
* Sit up in bed and open his or her eyes
* Have a glazed, glassy-eyed expression
* Roam around the house, perhaps opening and closing doors or turning lights on and off
* Do routine activities, such as getting dressed or making a snack
