I have issues with sleep walking and have moved into a place with roommates and I think it kinda freaks them out finding me asleep in places in the house besides my room in the morning. Doesn’t help my room gets kinda warm so I generally don’t have a lot of clothes on.

If I put a lock on the door is sleep zombie me gonna be smart enough to open it or will I just go back to bed?

    my relative who sleep-walked would scare the living daylights out me as a kid when I'd stay up til like 7am on a summer's night in the den only to hear their bedroom door (which was connected to the den) open and witness shit like: them walking out perfectly normal, go up into the kitchen, grab a knife out of a drawer and open the fridge, shut the fridge and then walk back down into the den -- knife in hand -- before falling back asleep inexplicably on the couch. So uh maybe?

        That genuinely was the scariest time and the only notable sleepwalking they ever did haha. Usually they'd just come out and lay down on the couch or stand in their doorway for a second before turning around and shutting their door. At the time I was like 9-10 and just wanted to continue grinding on Flyff so I didn't really pay them much mind when they initially came out and my younger sibling started getting weirded out; but when they came back down into the den with the knife I remember freaking out and calling their name in confusion but they immediately went for the couch. Haha we woke them up not five minutes after and told them the story. Being older, of course, they just replied with something along the lines of "if only I'd gone through with it" before heading back into their room to sleep.
