Weird Sleepwalking Stunts (chantix, doctor, treatment, danger)

[sayulita]

So I have a history of sleepwalking and doing weird things like taking the batteries out of the remote control and ripping up my pillowcase. But last night took the cake. I walked across the hall to the guest room, opened the (second story) window and proceeded to wrestle the screen out of the frame. I have no idea why and am a little shaken this morning about how dangerous that was. (I also have no idea how to get the screen back in from the inside.)
Has anybody else done anything like this? Any idea why it happens? Any feedback would be welcome.

I had a roommate once who used to sleepwalk. One night, I was sitting on the couch late at night, and I observed my roommate walk from his room to the kitchen in a sleep daze. I said something to him, and he just looked at me, and continued to the kitchen. He then proceeded to boil some water, put pasta in the water, and then walked past me to his room to continue sleeping.

My mother has done stuff like that as of recent. She will get up out of bed, and go stroll the neighborhood. But all she remembers is going to bed, then waking up with mud covered shoes. According to the doctors, her sleepwalking was due to a side effect of Chantix. So check your meds, if you have any, and talk to a doc about it.

My brother as a child would walk around the house in pitch black darkness and touch the tops of all the lamps in the house then proceed to go back to bed. It then escalated to him going to the living room late at night screaming at the top of his lungs, stopping , touching the lamps and going back to bed without ever saying a single word. My mom became exasperated when he started peeing in the garbage can nightly, he must have been about 6 or 7 when this was going on. He grew out of it I guess you could say at about 9 ish but for about a year or so it was straight out of a horror movie creepy. I dont know what action my mother took as far as treatment goes I was a kid myself but I went to bed every night hoping to not hear him scream at 1 am
