Sleep behaviors are pretty fascinating. Some people snore, some grind their teeth -- and some take a little stroll, or perhaps a drive. In this episode, Josh and Chuck investigate how sleepwalking, or somnambulism, works.
Join Josh and Chuck as they explore the mysterious world of sleepwalking, from a shocking 1845 murder case where sleepwalking was used as a defense to modern-day incidents involving everything from sleep-eating on Ambien to a recent sexual assault acquittal. The hosts dive into what we know (and don't know) about this fascinating sleep disorder called somnambulism, covering the science behind why our bodies can be active while our brains are essentially offline, plus related sleep behaviors like sleep-eating and the difference between acting out dreams versus true sleepwalking.
