Sleepwalking and other parasomnias
Sleep is not always as quiet and peaceful as we'd like it to be. Some people have a tendency to talk or laugh out loud during sleep, while others get right up out of bed and wander. People with parasomnias — such as sleepwalking or talking in one's sleep — wake up enough to carry out complex behaviors such as walking or talking — but not enough to realize what they are doing.
