Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder that tends to occur during the first third or first half of a person’s sleep period. Sleepwalking consists of a series of complex behaviors that result in walking around with an altered state of consciousness and impaired judgment. If left untreated, the patient is at risk of causing physical harm to themselves such as falling off of balconies; walking out into traffic; walking outside of a home into extremely cold temperatures; and other endless possibilities.
