Sleepwalkers & former sleepwalkers:

Have you ever just spontaneously started sleep walking again?

I was a sleepwalker from late childhood to about 25. Now in middle age I find myself sleepwalking again. How do I know I was sleepwalking? I woke up with a bottle of body spray in one hand and a terrible taste in my mouth standing just outside my bathroom.

It's a little bit concerning. It makes me wonder if the pseudo brain tumor I have is causing a problem or if I'm just really stressed out. Either one could be very likely.

So fellow asleep walkers or any people who are very knowledgeable about Neuroscience:

What are your thoughts?

Parasomnia--sleep-walking, talking, or other behavior while asleep--is associated with brain activation patterns similar to dreaming.

It would be interesting to see how this might correlate with lucid dreaming. Virtually all of the dreams I can remember afterward are lucid. I vaguely remember a dream over the weekend in which I told myself that the dream was really boring, so I had to change something.

The parasomnia episodes in the study all occurred during non-REM sleep.

Have you had any parasomnia or lucid dream experiences recently?

Disclosure: I've had sleep weirdness most of my life. I scared my grandfather by #sleepwalking as a kid. I talk in my sleep periodically. I've been informed that I have little fits of muscle jerking in my sleep- two twitches, then I go still, then a while later two twitches again. Apparently I had a period where I'd occasionally sit up, look around, make confused noises, and then slowly lie back down without a single word, but I never remember that in the morning.
