Sleep Walking?
Posted: 04-17-04 04:11am

In the past 2 weeks, my boyfriend has had some very strage sleep habits. He has been sleepwalking and during that, he urinates. The first time, he pulled a speaker cover off and urinated there, and another time, he pulled a small waste basket from a corner and went in there. At first, we just laughed about it, but i've heard that in come cases, brain tumors cause this type of behavior. We really don't know what to think about it - he can remember when he urinates slightly, so I don't think it's just sleepwalking. I was also under the impression that sleepwalking did not usually occur in adults. If anyone knows anything about this sort of thing, please reply. I just wanted to do some research before jumping to any conclusions and sending him to a doctor.
Thank you for your time

There are quite a few cases of adult sleep walking. I myself walk / sleep active several times a week and am currently medicated for it. Ive pretty much done most things while asleep but no urnating. I consult your doctor about this and perhaps some more internet search.
