Does anyone else live with a sleepwalker? My fiance actually walked around once fighting with his dead brother. He also used a toilet that we had that wasn't hooked up to anything, FUNNY, I know but scares the heck outta me, I'm afraid he might go after me somenight and not realize it. He's also fell asleep while smoking.

my son was sleepwalking until he was 24,however he doesn't now...also drinking makes it worse,perhaps you can discuss your concerns with your family doctor.

I too have a sleep walker husband.
He has done all kinds of crazy things.
Ex; Lifted a sofa cushion and almost peed.
Opened the fridge to get in his truck to go to work.
Sat up in bed an ordered breakfast as if he were at a restaraunt.
Grabbed me by the head and rubbed the top of it with his knuckles while laughing and called me by his nephews name.
At any rate, there isn't much you can do but make sure he is safe during these spells. I simply guide him back to bed and talk to him as if I know what he doing. It almost makes you a part of the dream.
Never fight or argue with him while in that state. I hear it could get violent because the person is already someplace else.
Definately have a good talk about the smoking in bed. That is the worse place a person could ever smoke!

Hmm. Sounds like he has some real issues. I would say he needs some counseling. Major stress that he has could contribute to his sleepwalking also, but I still suggest counseling.

Wow that's frightening and hilarious at the same time.
Bond him to his bed with some leather straps so that he will have sleep paralysis instead (like I do, that's some freaky stuff!)
