I'm not but my son is. He did it more when he was younger and not so much now that he's in his teens. It's lead to some interesting incidents. It was common for him to walk into a room and start talking to someone while being sound asleep. His eye's would be wide open and his speech was crystal clear, but he didn't make much sense and didn't respond within context to things said to him. He'd open doors, turn on lights, go up and down stairs and all that. He never wandered outside, but we had a dead bolt, security chain and alarm system on the door just to make sure.
A buddy of mine was once found playing pool in the dark while sleep walking. He was making his shots too.
All in all, I think it would be rather disconcerting, not to mention dangerous, to be a sleep walker. From what I've gathered it seems to be more common when a person is a kid, but your experience last night shows it can obviously crop up again anytime. That would be unsettling.
