Sleepwalking Type
Individuals who sleepwalk experience repeated episodes of complex motor behaviors during sleep (e.g. getting out of bed and walking around) and have lowered alertness and responsiveness to others around them, with little recall for the episodes.
Sleepwalking episodes can begin during any stage of NREM sleep, most commonly during the first third of the night in which there is slow-wave sleep.
