ITV Documentary: "Sleep Walkers: Secrets of the Night"

This 47 minute ITV documentary from 2008 looks at the strange cases of three sleepwalkers and one "ordinary" sleepwalker.  It shows how frustrating it is to live with (or be a) sleepwalker.  The ordinary sleepwalker is a 9-year-old girl.  The abnormal or extreme sleepwalkers were:

  • a woman who eats entire meals in her sleep (and subsequently is now overweight)
  • a man who tries to rape his wife when he's completely asleep (why they don't sleep in separate bedrooms is not explored)
  • a man who draws very well while fast asleep but can barely draw while awake.  I think his story is the most interesting.  He's the guy in the screenshot below
