Does anyone know good resources for something that looks like dissociative amnesia?
I have a friend who lost time, like a blackout, but he wasn't drinking.
Web searches are basically worthless, because of the charismatic diseases of amnesia and multiple personality disorder.
More details.
Our boy is a young man under the age of 20. He has a shoulder injury from sports, which is affecting his sleep. Basically, if he rolls wrong while sleeping, he will either wake up, or be knocked into a less restful keep pattern.
Assume he is sleep deprived.
A few months ago he had a fainting spell... after getting something like 3 hours of sleep in 36 hours.
This served as a bit of a wakeup call, and he's being more careful about this, but is still regularly sleeping poorly.
Our boy is a night owl and often stays up late to play video games.
On this incident, he was watching TV on the couch, and the next thing he knew, he was sitting in a chair and it was several hours later.
Investigation showed that during the lost time he played several games of ranked Valorant (so he must have had some sensibility) and had a text chat with a friend.
During the text chat, he tried to get his friend to help him buy marijuana. Our boy does not smoke.

Somnambulism?
@lispegistus I've already got a reference to _Breaking Bad_, so why not?
(The tests Walter gets after faking a fugue state are the ones to get for real.)
@WomanCorn I'm basing the diagnosis on a house MD episode where this woman was sleeping with her ex husband in her sleep. Not on actual science :)
