One in three adults have symptoms of insomnia, and around 22% of us sleepwalk, frequently walking with our eyes open.

This is utter BS. No way this is that common. No way.

I lived in a fraternity. No brother ever sleepwalked in the years I lived in our house.

One brother wet his bed.

A few had drinking problems.

A couple may have been clinically crazy.

But no sleepwalkers.

I would on occasion sleepwalk up to my high school years.

Most of the time I would end up in the backyard or garage.

Once I woke up standing on my bed, having strung my long bow with a arrow nocked…after that the bow went into my closet instead of being hung on the wall.

There have been a handful of FR threads over the years concerning sleeping aids and people doing things while “asleep” up to driving vehicles and doing violence.

Agreed. I’ve never in my entire life ever heard of anyone i even remotely knew sleep walking or met anyone who ever knew someone who did it. Bunch of bs.

“This is utter BS. No way this is that common. No way.”

I agree - the closest I ever came to “sleepwalking” was to operate while in a alcoholic blackout - quitting booze solved that problem....

I don’t know anyone who walks in their sleep. That would likely come up in conversation one day.
