„Sleepwalkers engage in their activities with their eyes open so they can navigate their surroundings, not with their eyes closed and their arms outstretched as parodied in cartoons and Hollywood productions. The victims‘ eyes may have a glazed or empty appearance and if questioned, the subject will be slow to answer and will be unable to respond in an intelligible manner.
While sleepwalking itself does not inherently pose a health concern, accidents may happen as the subject is performing actions without the control of conscious mind. If the walker commits a criminal offence while asleep, the defence of automatism may be available (see automatism (case law) for a detailed discussion of the laws in various countries).
A common myth surrounding this disorder is that one should never wake sleepwalkers while they are engaged in the activity. In truth, there is no implicit danger in waking sleepwalkers, though the subjects may be disoriented or embarrassed when awakened. The danger lies not in the fact that something might happen to the sleepwalker, but to the individual doing the waking, as occasionally the sleepwalkers get aggressive when interrupted. Although the majority of the time, nothing happens, it is not unheard of for assaults or even homicide to occur (though the latter is extremely rare). However sleepwalkers are much more likely to endanger themselves than anyone else. When sleepwalkers are a danger to themselves or others, (for example, when climbing up or down steps or trying to use a potentially dangerous tool such as a stove or a knife), steering them away from the danger or even waking them is advisable. It has even been reported that people have fallen out of windows while sleepwalking and died as a result.
While sleepwalking, conductor Harry F. Rosenthal has sat up in bed, conducted, and vocalized instruments, according to his wife.
Sleepwalking is a major theme in the classic silent German Expressionist film Das Kabinett des Dr. Kaligari (English title: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) 1919.
In Shakespeare’s famous play Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is mentioned to be a sleepwalker, leading up to her eventual madness and suicide.“

WÄRRRRDÄNNNN! (keine Angst, only joking.)
don’t worry. the prince has been known to sleepwalk as well as talk in his sleep as well.
but hiding the cell phone seems to be advisable. because it is embarrassing sometimes.
REPLY:
the talking-in-the-sleep-thing can be quite funny (for those present), aber aktiv jemanden anrufen (und warum ausgerechnet uli?) ist schon ein wenig bizarr. und es ist das 2. mal in diesem jahr (von dem ich es weiß).

du solltest die schlafwandelzeit nutzen und bloggen!
