Get him to the doctor for a sleep study. This nocturnal wandering of his might seem funny, but it can also be very dangerous. There are cases of sleepwalkers walking off balconies (2nd floor and up), driving and getting into accidents, drinking all kinds of things (from water to poisons) and all other kinds of incidents. Get the sleep study done as soon as possible. This is nothing to fool around with.

he is sleep walking.
just dont wake him up while he is doing that, becuasehe will attack you. not lying either.
if he starts to talk to you, just go along with, my best friend is a sleep walker, and when he spends the night he talks to me and tells me stupid stuff or gets up and throws the pillows at the wall, you could softly tell them to go back to sleep, but dont EVER wake him up!

sometimes people sleep walk, especially those with post traumatic stress disorders... maybe let him know he's doing it? (or does he already know?).
the only thing you can do is suggest he goes to the doctor to see if they can help him in some way, before he hurts himself.... or someone else... accidentally.

He needs to see a psychiatrist. Was he in the military and had gone to war?
