Sleepwalking

Imagine waking up in a different place than where you originally went to sleep. Trying to comphrehend your surroundings, you are unaware of how you have gotten to where you are at the present time and this mystifies you. You could be in any situations in your sleep such as just blindly walking around or pouring a glass of milk to drastic experiences such as leaving your house or ending up on a roof of a house or building. s a Sleep Disorder characterized by walking or other activity while seemingly still asleep. Sleepwalking (Somnambulism) is a series of complex behaviors that are initiated during slow wave sleep and result in walking during sleep. Sleepwalking is a rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder occurring in the dream stage of sleep. During this phase, the body releases a chemical that paralyzes the body. However, those who sleepwalk do not have this chemical trigger, hence the behavior.
