Sleepwalking?

I sleptwalked (is that the past tense of sleepwalk???) occasionally when I was a kid, but I didn't have UC then. I can see why he'd loose control of his bowels when he sleepwalks, though. When I was flaring and would have to get up with my son at night (he's almost 8 months), I'd ALWAYS have to run to the bathroom. Being up and moving after seemed to get things moving. Aren't people in a really deep sleep when they're sleepwalking? If so, that makes sense why he wouldn't wake up and realize he's got to poo.

For several years I sleepwalked.

Haven't for quite a while.

It's not related to my UC, but I can tell you from the walker's experience what it is like. I was always trying to go outside, and would get lost in the house often, sometimes stuck in a corner, and sometimes make it outside.

My husband would come to retrieve me, he would speak firmly to me, and lead me back. The next day I had little to no recollection of the event.

When he was speaking loudly to me, all I would hear would be a faint whisper, barely noticeable. He said I would carry a conversation, and talk normal, and look awake.

It was just weird, I have no bad feelings about it, because I recall so little. I recall stories of when I was a child, that I sleepwalked. Seems to occur during unstable times in my life.
