With sleep disorders, the real trouble starts when your sleep quality drops so low that you can't actually rest, not to mention the constant risk of injury from sleepwalking and such.
If you're really serious about fixing this, you should head to a doctor; they'll let you know if you need further testing or not.
My mom has been sleepwalking for twenty years. They advised her to stick to a strict schedule—going to bed and waking up at the exact same time every day—to relax before bed, keep the room quiet, avoid going to sleep hungry, and make sure she uses the restroom first. But honestly? Nothing seemed to help. 🙂

Regarding the fatigue—I basically never get enough sleep, but honestly, the exhaustion isn't even the worst part. It's the tossing and turning... it’s not exactly comfortable (trust me, waking up on the cold tile floor by the exit isn't great)... my biggest worry is wandering outside and making a total fool of myself. 😁

Honestly, this whole sleepwalking thing is starting to get on my last nerve...

For instance, I’ll pass out on the couch and somehow wake up in my own bed... I even catch myself talking to people while I'm half-asleep—my sister has actually called me out a few times for stuff I said during these episodes... like, I'll start rambling, swearing at her, picking a fight, and then just drift right back to sleep... naturally, I have zero memory of any of it the next morning.🙂

When I was a kid, I used to walk in my sleep and stay wide awake until about age ten.

I don't remember dreaming 99% of the time, and on the rare occasion I do, it’s never anything funny or scary.

Bottom line: I just want to fix this—at the very least, I want to stop picking fights with the people living with me while I'm unconscious.😁
