Questions A to I relate to the night's sleep. Try to answer these soon after getting up each day when the details of the previous night are fresh in your mind.

B. What time did you go to bed last night?
C. About how long did it take to first fall asleep? (Record in minutes - for example, 70 mins.)

¿Qué causa el sonambulismo y cómo se puede dejar de serlo?
Aunque el sonambulismo puede ser algo sobre lo que bromeamos, es un problema serio para muchas personas. El sonambulismo puede afectar a todos los aspectos de la vida de una persona, desde sus niveles de energía hasta sus relaciones. Se cree que el sonambulismo es más común en los niños, pero los adultos pueden sufrirlo y de hecho lo sufren. Sin embargo, el sonambulismo puede controlarse.
