NADA, i was using a certain kinda sleeping medicine that if i used to much would make me sleep walk. I feel down 6 step’s in the middle of the night; knocked myself out. The
woman who was living here heard my head hit the wall. Called 911 they said keep him awake and put pant’s on him. Went to Monroeville ER they scanned my brain, asked if i wanted
to spend the night. I said sure go get Cindy and my cat; then I will stay. They laughed and sent me home. I do know how you feel. NADA, be careful with yourself!!!

i have that... it is called a complex partial (aka a focal onset impared awareness) seizure. i have it where it is a 'out of body experence' or in simple terms... you are the puppet and someone else is pulling the strings. it is somewhat dangerous if you are mobile. walking and/or running... reaching fo something... takeing off or putting on idems (shirts, pants, blankets, ect). this seizure is mostly muscle memory. you do repetition untill you memorized it.
i live in a 2 story ranch... you walk in and there is stairs going up and stairs going down.
question... dose your stairs has 2 stair posts or a wall or something in frount of the stairs? used a babygate? a large babygate will block almost everything.
