Global downturn causes more sleepwalking!

Financial worries are leading to an increase in sleepwalking, researchers claim. Instances of sleepwalking have increased threefold this year compared with last, according to a poll by the hotel chain Travelodge. Some 3,500 adults and 350 Travelodge hotel managers responded to the poll. Economic fears and worries about being sacked are thought to head the reasons for sleepwalking. The survey also found that 98% of sleepwalkers are naked men, and the optimum time for sleepwalkers is 3.27am.
