Adult sleep walking

Posted by sleepwalkingman on July 16, 2001 at 18:46:58:

I am 82 years old. For the first time in my life I've started sleepwalking. In the past seven weeks I have had five sleep walking episodes. I live on the second floor of a condo (concrete stairway). Episodes include eating (three times)drinking milk or ginger ale, unlocking the door and bringing in the newspaper and trimming my toe nails (three very bloody toes). I remember nothing. I also have lazy legs but do not annoy me. I would like to hear from anyone familiar with sleepwalking that occurs in old adults.
