Everyday when the sun goes down, hundreds
of millions people in the United States go to sleep. For most of those people,
the act of sleeping occurs normally and they awaken the next morning to
continue living productive lives. However, nearly seventy-five percent of adult Americans experience some form of a sleep disorder
at least a few nights per week. Sleepwalking is one such disorder. The
prevalence of sleepwalking in the general adult population is
between one and fifteen percent.
