  Hi @okelly
  I’m not sure what causes sleepwalking, but there is a theory that your body is paralysed while you dream in order to stop you acting out your dreams. So perhaps in sleepwalkers, whatever causes the paralysis during dreaming is not functioning properly, so they get up and move.
  
  I’m not sure though. What do you think?
