Follow-Up:

Sleep walking seems to run in my family. I (a 14-year-old)have had a couple of cases in my life where I just get up and wander around for a while. I seem to have outgrown it though because it hasn't happened for quite a few years. However, it is my 11-year-old brother who I'm interested in. Almost nightly, he either sleepwalks, sleeptalks or both. I'm a night person, so frequently I stay up reading. Somtimes, I can hear him talking. One of the amazing things is that sometimes its in a language i've never heard although I don't think it's just mumbled english because he says it with such enunciation. Another time, he searched me out and says to me (while tracing a circle in the air with his finger), "Don't you want to make them round?." Another time, we were on vacation and he got up. He walked around the moterl room saying "how did you get out of here?" Then I thought he woke up because he came over and gave me a sarcastic look and went back to sleep. He didn't remember a thing. Sometimes he even barks like a dog in his sleep. Anyway...Why does he do this? Is it something we should worry about?
