Gerald Kennedy: It is. It’s similar to sleepwalking and night terrors in that those behaviours occur during deep sleep so you don’t have much memory of them. The same is true for sexsomnia. The person isn’t actually having sexual dreams, they’re just acting automatically.Are some people more likely to have it than others?People who suffer from sexsomnia are those who have an extended history of sleepwalking or other unusual sleep behaviours.Is it more common in men? I feel like it might be… From my experience.From what I’ve seen so far, and I haven’t seen a lot of it because despite what you might think it’s not very common, it is more common in men.Are you more likely to suffer from it if you’re a particularly sexual person in waking life?It doesn’t really factor into it because it’s an automatic behaviour. We get people doing non-sexual behaviours like eating or washing their hands when they’re asleep. It’s just another type of behaviour that occurs during the deep sleep cycle.
