From what I have seen, sleepwalking is often triggered by deep fatigue or certain sleeping pills. Make sure you avoid alcohol or heavy stimulants at night. It is highly recommended to consult a doctor to check if any current medication is causing this.
First of all, don't worry, we will figure this out. Since sleepwalking can be a bit risky, the most important thing is safety: make sure the main doors are locked securely and there are no sharp things on the floor. Let's focus on keeping you safe first while you work on reducing stress.
It is so scary and emotionally exhausting to wake up in a different room and realize you had no control over your body. Please don't feel ashamed, it is a medical condition. Reach out to family members to help secure your surroundings so you feel safer.
I used to sleepwalk a lot during my board exams because of crazy stress. What worked for me was just stopping all late-night studying and gaming. Once my brain got proper rest and the anxiety went down, the sleepwalking stopped completely.
Before you spend thousands on expensive sleep study tests and clinics, try making basic changes like securing your bedroom door with an alarm that sounds if opened. Plan your doctor visits carefully and see a general physician first to avoid unnecessary high consultant fees.

Try having a warm, soothing bath before going to bed and keeping the room completely dark and quiet. Natural relaxation is very good for deep sleep, but please, if you are opening doors or going outside in your sleep, see a specialist immediately for safety.
Honestly, I am so tired these days that I wish I could at least clean my room while sleepwalking! But seriously, it is quite scary. Make sure your family knows never to shake you awake suddenly if they catch you walking, just gently guide you back to bed.
