Sleepwalking woman swam in river

The woman, whose name was not released, had a history of sleep walking.

A US woman who went missing in the early hours of the morning had gone for a swim in the river - while sleepwalking.

The 31-year-old, of Burley, Idaho, was reported missing by her husband who awoke to find her gone, reports the Magic Valley Times-News.

She had left the home barefoot, wearing only pyjamas, and had left a sliding door open, he told police.

Deputies found her a quarter of a mile downstream from her home on the bank of the Snake River.

She was safe but disorientated and soaking wet after apparently swimming while still asleep.

A sheriff s report said the woman, whose name was not released, had a history of sleep walking.
