😴Sleepwalking Has Nothing to Do With Dreams

The idea of sleepwalkers acting out their dreams has been a staple of pop culture for ages. But science says otherwise. Sleepwalking happens during the deep, non-REM stages of sleep—when you’re not dreaming. It’s caused by a disconnect between your motor control (which is active) and your consciousness (which is out cold). So if someone’s wandering the halls at 3 a.m., they’re not chasing dream dragons—they’re just stuck in a weird sleep state.
