More often than not, a sleepwalker has a "reason" for sleepwalking. In other words, it is not an automatic action that happens for no apparent reason. A night terror may trigger it, or medication or alcohol may trigger it. Sometimes a person may even recall sleepwalking, and although the reason may not make sense once he is awake, it made sense at the moment.
