I have walked outside my house in summer as well as winter, into other houses and rearranged furniture. Luckily the neighbours knew me and my entertaining trick. Drove a car once while sleeping much to the surprise of a friend(awake) who was in total disbelief and came along just so I didn't crash. I drove a good 10 miles on a highway and upon waking up had no idea what I was doing, where I was going etc. I lived in an apartment years ago and was woken up by someone on the floor because I kept opening the elevator doors. Everytime the door opened, a bell like sound was produced. I was stark naked.
I have heard that people who sleepwalk into adulthood are either borderline genius or are neurotic. I'm not interested in the science of it. I still walk about once a week and wake up somewhere in my house but haven't gone on an out of house tour in a long time. If I ever stay with friends I insist on being on the ground floor level. I have sailed down a few staircases when asleep and that is a rude awakening.
