Sleepwalking itself is a form of dissociation & doing any activity while asleep is dissociation. I'm not sure about not remembering the rest of your session, but it sounds like may have dissociated.

Sounds like I need to ask some more questions about sleepwalking and activities. I'm sure I've brought it up at some point with my therapist but not sure about my pdoc. I'm interested in what they say. Thank you. I need something to talk about.
I had a really hard time getting the anesthesia out of my system this time. It took until last week (from April 25) for my mom to say she saw my energy back to normal. And I still sleep more than usual some days. My mom says it even took me a long time to wake up from the anesthesia this time. I remember a nurse telling me that if I would take deep breaths the beeping would stop; apparently I was preferring sleep over breathing.
I had ankle surgery 8 years ago and woke up with a 10 inch dressing/cast thing. The nurse was holding my hands to keep me from trying to tear it off. Apparently my not-awake mind did not want that thing on me. That time anesthesia was much easier to handle. I wish they'd used the same drugs this time. If I ever have surgery again I'm going to talk to them about that surgery as the one that I tolerated best.
