Sleepwalking

According to Wikipedia, Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is a sleep disorder belonging to the parasomnia family.^[2] Sleepwalkers arise from the slow wave sleep stage in a state of low consciousness and perform activities that are usually performed during a state of full consciousness. These activities can be as benign as sitting up in bed, walking to the bathroom, and cleaning, or as hazardous as cooking, driving, violent gestures, grabbing at hallucinated objects, or even homicide.

- En parejas los alumnos contarán historias que les hayan sucedido (a ellos, a familiares o a amigos) mientras dormían.
- Cada uno de los miembros de la pareja contará al resto de la clase la historia de su compañero/a (para practicar Reported Speech)
