I could do that in my sleep!
I've been sleepwalking since I was a wee nipper. One time my dad found me standing at the top of the stairs with a duvet wrapped round my ankles. I've also tried to climb out of windows and into cupboards etc, the usual lark.
When i left for uni I hoped it would stop. I had images of me being thrown out of halls after exposing myself to other freshers, resident wardens etc. However, it continued.
The guy living next to me, who later became my housemate, told me of one of my escapades where I knocked on his door at 4am, and just stood staring at him for ages, until he led me back to bed. Oh, and I was wearing some rather fetching pyjamas and had a raging hard on.
Then when i moved into my house I managed to walk down an extremely narrow and hazardous staircase and go out into the back garden. Where I stood for about 15 minutes. Most people have difficulty descending the stairs during daylight hours, they flummoxed me a couple of times when I was drunk, but I managed to do it in my sleep. My housemates assured me that i didn't fall down them.
Red lights also have a habit of making me sleepwalk. Every time there is a red LED on in the room, i will try and escape. My room had an electricity meter in it, which had a red light. Almost every night I would wake up trying to escape. Nothing I did to cover up the light stopped me from sleepwalking.
I've also recently found out that it's directly linked to epilepsy and other brain disorders, hence why somnambulists have fits if they are woken. Delightful.
Sorry for lack of humour, but I'd like to sleep in one place just for once!
