February 2016 update

I am still actively monitoring my sleepwalking and recording countless parameters to find correlations. But since I covered a lot of the low hanging fruits, the next set of data is taking much longer to generate. So please be patient.

I am also looking a different drugs to try to pinpoint which brain pathways could be involved. Here also a slow process but the simple message is that no drug really works so far.

And of course I am trying alternate approaches to video to record (accurately and exhaustively) my sleepwalking. Not much success here but that generated some side data regarding sleep tracking devices, which I added to my previous post regarding those trackers.

No correlation of number of events between nights

As part of my investigation of what factor impacts my sleepwalking, I looked at a potential correlation between the number of events of 2 consecutive nights.The idea here was to see if my sleepwalking activity during 1 night impacts the following night, positively or negatively.

As the graph below shows, there is no correlation between consecutive nights, as the coefficient of determination is very low.

All 470+ nights are included, regardless of treatment or mitigating/aggravating factors.

My sleepwalking is constant throughout the week

As part of my investigation of what factor impacts my sleepwalking, I looked at a potential correlation between the day of the week and my sleepwalking scores. This is another way to see how much my sleepwalking is affected by psychological factors.

Interestingly my sleepwalking is consistent throughout the week, as the graphs below show.

Average values, +/- SEM. % variation and statistical significance are indicated (if less than 1%)

Those data correlate with comparable sleepwalking activity seen on work days and rest days.

Data exclude nights with clonazepam and are normalized for the effect of coffee and tiredness.
