Sleepwalking. A sleep disorder and phenomenon of combined sleep and wakefulness that results in a person walking or performing complex actions while asleep.

Sleepwalking has likely existed since the dawn of humanity, but wasn't seriously investigated and diagnosed until the 19th century.

Sleepwalking is very common, with the lowest estimations finding that at least 4% of adults in the US have experienced it in some form, while up to 29% of children sleepwalk at some point before

the age of 13.

My name's Anthony Padilla, and today I'm going to be sitting down with people who sleepwalk

to learn the truth about this highly misunderstood disorder.

Do those who sleepwalk live their waking hours blissfully unaffected by the activities they partake in while sleeping?

Or does this disorder leave them feeling paralyzed by the fear of what may happen once they close their eyes each night?

I have night terrors.

I experience hallucinations.
