>Turns out, it’s just sleepwalking

The piece explicitly states that it is not sleepwalking:

>Not all nocturnal behaviors are RBD. Sleepwalking and sleep talking, which occur more often during childhood and adolescence, take place during non-REM sleep. This difference is clearly distinguishable in a sleep laboratory, where clinicians can monitor stages of sleep to see when a person moves.

I think laypeople would not make this distinction.
Don't dreams occur during REM sleep? I am a frequent sleep walker and the times I've been awoken by someone else I was in mid-dream.
Thanks, clarified.
