Anyone else walking around at nights?

My boyfriend is! He does it everyone once and a while...usually only now when he is stressed and stuff like that.
The last time he did it was when we were in a hotel and I woke up as he was walking out the door to the hallway!
I heard it was somewhat unusual to still experience this as an adult. He's 24 and although this is a rare occasion, it still does happen and you never know when it will happen.

YES! I have slept walk my entire life and still do. I'm 28/f and do dangerous things while sleepwalking. Last episode I went out the window onto my 5th floor fire escape! The docs tell me it's not normal to sleepwalk your whole life, either you do it as a kid or as an adult, normally not both. So they think something might have happened to me at some point but I chose not to remember. I also chose not to want to remember so I'm not heading to the shrink! I've done so many crazy things. Usually I'm up looking for something or throwing everything off my bed. (The boyfriends love this!)

I do. I have been a sleepwalker all my life too. I am 34/f. My mom says the first time I did it I was 2.Sometimes I will vaguely remember doing things . I think I dreamed something and find evidence that I actually did it.Like dreaming there is a spider in my bed and scooping up all of the covers and my then 4 yr.daughter and putting them on the floor. They were still there in the morning .I do strange things. When I was married my ex told me all the things I did. People have always told me stuff.I think the scariest thing is when I wake up outside. Ialways wake up in the doorway. On a highschool field trip I woke up in the hall at the hotel. Of course the doors lock automatically. Had to wake up someone to let me back in. And I just had on a t-shirt and panties! I was the conversation for the next day. My best friend said "she does it all the time" .I wonder what i do that I dont know about.
