Sleepwalking and free will/consciousness

I'm thinking about what the implications of sleepwalking are for free will and consciousness, so I'm wondering what are the most complicated, most cognitively demanding acts that people have done while sleepwalking.

Furthermore, is there some way that we know that a person is not conscious while sleep walking? Something that closes off the possibility that perhaps a person is conscious while doing this, just doesn't remember it afterwards.
