Do you remember sleep walking?

The characteristic features of sleep walking are that it occurs usually within an hour to an hour and a half of falling asleep. These actions are usually stereotypical. If the person is awoken, they are usually confused. And inevitably, and characteristically, have no memory for this episode. These are episodes that occur during a state of sleep, not during a state of consciousness, and therefore there can be no memory for these episodes, or very little islands of memory, for these episodes.
