It is one of the myths about this widespread parasomnia, although it is not always true. As the specialist Antonio Zadra has found in his fifteen-year experience investigating the subject, children are the ones who most often experience amnesia after “walking around” the house without waking up, while adults can often remember what they did or thought while they suffered the episode . Zadra, from the University of Montreal, also maintains that the disorder occurs because not all parts of the brain fall asleep at the same time.
Another very common idea is that sleepwalkers do nonsensical things, when in reality their actions respond to the dream logic of the dream.
