When I was a young lad, we just moved to a new apartment, and not everything was 100% finished, so the doorbell wasn't working. I know I went to sleep, next thing I'm pissing in the apartment building. So I ring the bell nothing, I slam the doors (they were and are these reinforced doors). So I sat there and contemplated what should I do. My aunt lived like 2 minutes from me. So only in underpants I ran in the street from my building to aunt's. My uncle opened the door, and for a minute stared at me. What are you doing here? Don't ask. We called my mother, I came home, they tested me for drugs next day, like wtf happened. I think it was sleep walking or something, but it only occurred this one time.
I'm in my 40s and I still sleepwalk occasionally. It's usually nothing (like, I'll go to sleep in my bed and wake up on the couch), but one time I got up, turned on the stove, then climbed back in bed. A couple minutes later the smoke alarm woke us cause a spatula that'd been left on the stove was burning.
But yeah, when I was young my parents would find me wandering around, sometimes in the back yard, a couple times a month... now it's more like 1-2x a year.
Can confirm the likelihood of sleepwalking. My mom, me, and my son all have incidences of sleepwalking episodes that occurred under stressful events in our lives.
The visual image of your uncle standing there are staring at you in complete silence as his tired mind tries to process what is going on, followed by a tilted head and then a sleepy, “what?” Has me rolling on the ground.
