Interesting article...the main problem i have is that nobody studies this because most people stop sleepwalking in their teens. I'm a 40 male who has been sleepwalking since i was five or so.I sleepwalk 6-7 nights a week...I've never experienced a good nights sleep.
Here's a list of some of the things i've done: and of who i've seen for help:
smashed windows and jumped thru Stanford Sleep Center- twice
driven cars- twice Sutter Sleep Center
punched girlfriends & spouse Kaiser
pulled gilrfriends\ spouse out of bed by their ankles Hypnosis
run out of homes and up the street brainwave meridian therapy
ran across a field of thorns in barefeet and across the Baja 1000 course Homeopathy
got in a fight
broke lamps, walls, stereo,
jump off a second floor deck and countless cuts and bruises mainly on my hands and feet.
I am usually the most active an hour after bedtime until around 4 am.
And sometimes i wonder why I don't have alot of energy
