sleepwalking...and varying levels of consciousness

i noticed something a little strange at my apartment complex...and thought that maybe it was the result of someone sleepwalking.
then my thoughts went off into a tangent on the differences between a sleep walking person and a monotonous person doing their day to day routine without questioning their reality.
discuss.

Attaining lucidity in any stage of brain wave activity is tricky.
Remaining lucid is even trickier.

I vowed to myself I would work like a dog at this. But now, it's 10:30 in the morning and I'm just getting out of bed. I did get up earlier around 8:00am, but I just lied in bed for a while, and then...jerked off. I've got to stop masturbating, it makes me too lazy. Stop it Albert...stop it. ~Albert Einstein.

Generally a monotonous person is just bored and uncaring, they aren't a fucking zombie (which sleepwalkers basically are).

Zombie is actually on autopilot...monotonous person is just indifferent, they are still aware.

I beg to differ, you can totally work an assembly line in your sleep if you've been doing it for 20 years.
