No. That doesn’t happen only in Alfred Hitchcock movies. There are so many people out there who walk in sleep. Sleep walk is also known as Somnambulism where the sleeper does simple activities like walking and other detailed tasks in a state of trance.

Symptoms of Sleep Walking

• Sleepwalkers commonly display these symptoms –
• Sleepwalkers may wake up and stare into space.
• They rise up from the bed while sleeping
• They don’t respond when they are spoken to
• They may not recall the incident of waking up.
• They may perform detailed tasks while asleep, such as unlocking the door, walking down the stairs etc.

Treatment
Stress could be an underlying cause of behind Somnambulism. Sleepwalkers should try some meditation and relaxation techniques to do away with stress before bedtime. Avoid taking sedatives or alcohol. Avoid becoming too tired or fatigued. Make sure you see a psychotherapist if you still face problems with somnambulism.
