sleepwalker
Unconscious midnight roamer
A sleepwalker is someone who walks or performs other activities while asleep.
The condition, called sleepwalking or somnambulism, typically occurs during deep sleep and is more common in children.
Sleepwalkers usually have no memory of their nighttime wanderings.
Figuratively, a sleepwalker is someone going through life without full awareness: He moved through his days like a sleepwalker.
