"PinterestFacebookThink of your worst nightmare--now imagine yourself actually acting it out at night while you&amp;#39;re sleeping. That&amp;#39;s more or less a reality for 29-year-old British TV personality Natalie Pinkham. The pal of Prince Harry has embarrassed herself, believed she was a suicide bomber and even almost drowned--all in her sleep.\n&amp;quot;Sleepwalking has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and I struggle to recall a single night where I have enjoyed uninterrupted sleep,&amp;quot; says Pinkham, who wrote about her story for the Daily Mail.\n&amp;quot;When my boyfriend stays over he uses the &amp;#39;drawbridge&amp;#39; technique,&amp;quot; she explains. &amp;quot;As soon as he feels me stirring, his arm just comes crashing down on top of me, preventing me from moving. I would do anything to sleep free from all these crazy nighttime activities. Apart from anything else it leaves me exhausted before my day has even begun.&amp;quot;\nAccording to sleep expert Dr. Chris Idzikowski, the director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, stress can be a sleep-walking trigger. But most often, &amp;quot;overtiredness, alcohol, sleeping pills, indeed, anything that prevents the brain from awakening easily can be the foundation for sleepwalking; the trigger could be something as simple as the need to go to the loo. In a strange place, that may mean a sleepwalker will make their way into the hotel corridor or lobby.&amp;quot;\n__\nHave you ever sleep walked? __"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
