10 Sleep Walking Symptoms
Unresponsiveness
Another symptom of sleepwalking is unresponsiveness. An individual may mumble incoherently or remain entirely unresponsive, even if they're moving around or getting out of bed.2Suni, Eric. ‘Sleepwalking.’ Sleep Foundation, 14 August 2020, sleepfoundation.org/parasomnias/sleepwalking
If the individual doesn't respond to questions or stimuli around them, they're likely sleepwalking.1‘Sleepwalking Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 21 July 2017, mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleepwalking/symptoms-causes/syc-20353506 However, this lack of responsiveness doesn't necessarily mitigate the person's ability to move around or engage in other physical actions while sleepwalking. This is also the reason monitoring is necessary, as a sleepwalking individual may not respond to verbal directions.
