About Sleep Walking
Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder in which people walk or engage in tasks while they are still asleep. While the usual image of a sleepwalker is someone staggering down a hallway with his or her arms outstretched in front of them, sleepwalkers usually move with their eyes open so that they can see. They are actually conscious of their actions, but not on a level that will cause them to remember what happened when they wake up. People do not remember sleepwalking episodes so it may take some time for a person to realize it’s happening.
