AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an individual's experience of waking up in bed facing the opposite direction from how they fell asleep, with no memory of turning around. The person questions whether this behavior could be classified as sleepwalking, noting that it is the first occurrence of such an event and they have no prior history of sleepwalking. Responses emphasize the importance of consulting a medical professional for any concerns regarding sleep disorders, as online forums are not equipped to diagnose medical issues.

When I woke up in bed last night, I was turned around with my head facing the footboard, which was exactly opposite to how I was positioned when I fell asleep.

I have absolutely no memory/recollection of having turned the other way in my bed, so I must have done this in my sleep. I even moved the pillows and comforter completely around to the other end of my bed.

Would this qualify as sleepwalking?

This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me, and I do not have any history of sleepwalking.

I'm sorry we can't help diagnose medical issues. If you have a concern you should see a doctor. Diagnosing medical issues is not something that can be done on a forum.

This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
