Sleepwalking (somnambulism)...a common sleep disorder. It occurs when you awaken during slow wave sleep. It is also very common to have your eyes open and to have no memory of the event. The main thing is that you are more likely to injure yourself during one of these episodes. When you have them, someone should just gently lead you back to bed.

To prevent sleepwalking:
avoid fatigue
avoid stress
develop a calming bedtime ritual (read, meditate, etc)

As you can see, stress is a trigger as is fatigue. If you are the typical person, you are probably sleep-deprived. Try to rectify the situation and you should do much better.
