Sleepwalking is not a rare condition and most commonly occurs in children and adolescents. Epidemiologic data have shown that prevalence reduces with age. There has been an increasing interest in the genetic basis of sleepwalking, although the role of genetic inheritance in predetermining risk remains undetermined but of great interest. Clinical features vary from individual to individual and may vary as the person gets older. In sleepwalking higher cognitive functions such as memory, planning, and social interaction are severely limited or absent. Sleepwalking may appear in several forms. Sleepwalkers will have a predisposition (genetic) and several potential triggers to induce sleepwalking.
