Can you sleep while walking?
I recently saw a documentary where they talked about people being so exhausted they almost sleepwalk. Is it actually possible for a human to literally sleep while walking, even for a few steps, or is that just a myth?

I have heard of sleepwalking, but is it actually possible to sleep while you are walking? I am a bit confused, does this happen because of extreme exhaustion or is it a medical condition?

Actually yaar, sleepwalking is quite real, but you are not actively conscious of it. If you mean literally taking a nap while walking, that's impossible and you'll just trip and fall. If someone is doing this, they should probably see a doc, yaar.

Nahi bhaiya, chalte chalte sona toh bahut hi khatarnak hai aur chot lag sakti hai. Agar kisi ko aisi beemari hai jise sleepwalking kehte hain, toh turant doctor sahib ko dikhana chahiye.

With the amount of fatigue I feel after a long day at the office, I think I could sleep while standing! But jokes aside, sleepwalking is a sleep disorder. If you are doing activities while asleep, please consult a specialist before you walk into a wall.
