What Causes Sleepwalking?
People who sleepwalk do things that they would normally do when they are awake. Only they’re asleep. They get out of bed, move around, clean, cook, go to the bathroom, watch TV or perform a range of normal, everyday actions. They often do not remember getting out of bed, or remember it very vaguely. Scientists say that sleepwalkers are in the same unconscious state they would be if they were asleep in bed.

People have been known to commit sexual acts in a sleepwalking state, and a middle aged woman recently found that she had sent emails while she was asleep.
The young girl in this video is behaving in a way you would expect a sleepwalker to behave, doing normal everyday stuff in a state of semi-consciousness.
