For the past 2 years I have had episodes of sleepwalking, and usually hear from other people what has transpired while I am sleepwalking. It has been very frustrating for me. I saw a neurologist, went through a sleep study, and still no answers. A few weeks ago my roommate saw me up and about and decided to call 911. It was a good thing that she did because I had a fever of 103, and had double pneumonia. What she thought was sleepwalking was actually delirum from my fever. During my hospital stay they kept testing my blood/oxygen level, and one night it had dropped to 78. Turns out that my sleepwalking was occuring because I was not getting enough oxygen at night. So, now I sleep with my oxygen on all night long, and am pleasantly surprised that there have been no more sleepwalking episodes.
