Is there a specific part of the guideline that you would like me to see? I'm fairly new to this stack exchange.

  • Your final paragraph basically asks us what you should do, and that's what we can't answer. When people get out of bed and do things in their sleep, that's sleep walking. It sounds like that's what you're doing, but we have no way of knowing for sure. You need to consult a physician.

  • There are sleep disorders that can cause this type of unconscious behavior, but there is no way anyone can determine the presence or nature of any sleep disorders you might have over the Internet. You need to see a sleep medicine physician.
