Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?

Oh where could they be?

But recent research has found a complex combination of factors can cause the disorder.

Studies found sleepwalking - also known as somnambulism - varies according to age, with younger sufferers having more problems.

Scientists often see it as a part of growing up, because incidents occur less often as the brain develops during the teenage years.

Boys sleepwalk more frequently than girls and most cases are reported between the ages of 11 and 12.

Sleepwalking among adults can be caused by stress or substance abuse.

Advertisement It is considered to be more serious because it is often more aggressive, and more likely to cause injury to the sufferer.

Some report eating, dressing and driving cars while asleep.

The disorder most often occurs at the point where the sleeper's brainwaves become larger and he or she moves into deep, non-rapid eye movement sleep.

One in 10 of the population is estimated to experience sleepwalking at least once.

But the episodes vary in intensity and frequency.

While most incidents are short and not dangerous, some are longer and can result in serious injury.
