During the middle of the night sometimes people can arise while they are sleeping and be in a state of really low consciousness and begin to do things such as walking around or other activities. This is known as sleepwalking. People who are sleepwalking can even drive, cook, use the bathroom and do violent things. Some also moan and grab things while they are sleepwalking.

There is still a lot of research being done as to what exactly causes sleepwalking. A lot of experts think that one of the main reasons is from maturation. A lot of studies is still being conducted to find out more about this disorder because it is a very old disorder and still goes on and a lot of people in America actually have this sleeping disorder but it is more common in children.

Treatment used for sleepwalking:

- tricylic
- antidepressants
- benzodiazepine
- clonazepam

While there is still a lot of research being done they do suggest that you put away things that might cause harm to them or people in the family, such as knives.
