10 Sleep Walking Symptoms
Disorientation or Confusion
Individuals who sleepwalk may be disoriented or confused if they do wake up in the middle of an episode. They may not understand where they are in that exact moment or how they got there.1‘Sleepwalking Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 21 July 2017, mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleepwalking/symptoms-causes/syc-20353506
Sleepwalkers sometimes remain confused for a few minutes after waking up as they attempt to get their bearings, especially if they're in unfamiliar surroundings. This symptom is common among those who wake up before getting back into bed.2Suni, Eric. ‘Sleepwalking.’ Sleep Foundation, 14 August 2020, sleepfoundation.org/parasomnias/sleepwalking
