Sleep evaluation: Avoid caffeine, electronic devices two hours prior to bedtime. Drink warm milk before bedtime and your sleep walking should be evaluated. A Sleep Study may be ordered by your PCP and administered at home, if this service is available in your area. Decrease stress, exercise and eat well.

Sleep disorder: Although it is not feasible to precisely pin down etiology based upon your description, I would certainly wonder about such entities as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, etc., but would also wonder about a presentation of partial complex seizures. All of this could be sorted out by first having a general evaluation by your physician, an overnight sleep study, and an EEG. A sleep specialist would help.
