Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sleepwalking is when someone walks or carries out complex activities while not fully awake. It usually happens during a period of deep sleep. This peaks during the early part of the night, so sleepwalking tends to happen in the first few hours after falling asleep.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sleepwalking happens during non-REM (NREM) sleep, usually in stage III of the sleep cycle, which is also known as deep sleep.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sleepwalking (somnambulism) most often occurs during deep, non-REM sleep (called N3 sleep) early in the night. Sleepwalking is much more common in children and young adults than in older adults. This is because as people age, they have less N3 sleep.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sleepwalking is a disorder of arousal, meaning it occurs during N3 sleep, the deepest stage of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Another NREM disorder is sleep terrors, which can occur together with sleepwalking.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sleepwalking (also called somnambulism) is a behavior in which the child gets up during the night and walks or does other activities.
