So this has been going on for a while now but has gotten increasingly worse lately. I can't wake up on time. I set two alarms on different devices each with a snooze button to go off about 5 minutes later. I usually wake up late and don't remember at all hearing or turning off either alarm but according to my sister I do it, and also don't even budge when shaken to wake me up.
I also wake up at random times and do things in my sleep that I am unaware of. My sister recorded a video of my randomly springing out of bed or, going over to her bed and shaking her or even waking up and swearing out of nowhere. My parents told me I used to sleep walk but I don't walk that far if I happen to do it.
What is wrong? Why do I fall into this almost unconscious like sleep that not even two blaring alarms and a sister shaking me make me awake? And why do I sleep walk or do drastic things in my sleep without knowing?

It may be worth a try if this habit gets really bad. You might wanna get a different kind of alarm clock, maybe you're too used to the noise and you can just sleep over it. Maybe you sleep too little or something so when you do sleep you sleep too deeply?
Go look at that link. Most people grow out of it, so don't worry too much. You can always see a doctor to get medicine to prevent sleepwalking, but think if you really need it or not first. If you're an adult and still sleepwalk, you should consider it. But I don't think you're an adult yet xD
Dragonflymagic answered Saturday February 22 2014, 4:13 pm: I can't really answer your questions. If your sleep behavior becomes more than a nuisance and really threatens your lifestyle, such as being late for school or work, actually hurting yourself while asleep or hurting others, then it might be time to go see the doctor, he will decide if you need to see a sleep specialist, get some counseling to determine what changed because apparently at some point in the past, you were f not like this. If counseling doesnt come up with an answer, then hypnosis may find an answer from your subconscious. Your subconscious mind is what is busy running things while you sleep and keeping you breathing and rolling over when your body needs to relieve pressure on a certain spot or wakes you if you have a full bladder. Your subconscious mind is also where all your emotions are stored so something emotionally is affecting your sub. mind causing you to behave this way. I don't think there is any 'self help' advice that you can try to fix this. YOu probably will need to see a profession at some point.
