• People sleepwalk because of an imbalance in their sleep-wake cycle. This leads to the brain partially activating during sleep, causing a person to perform activities while still in their slumbers. Some common triggers for sleepwalking include sleep deprivation and stress.
  
  Here, All Time Low's Alex Gasgarth is away touring, and he's missing his love interest. He likens the pain of her absence from his life to sleepwalking.
• Wide awake, but it just feels wrong
  Stay in bed 'til the whole year's gone
  Wake me up when it's over
  Feel like I'm sleepwalking when you're gone
  
  Alex Gasgarth and All Time Low guitarist Jack Barakat wrote the song with producer Andrew Goldstein. According to Gaskarth, "Sleepwalking is a reflection on time spent away from whatever it is that makes you feel alive, on time lost to the weight of dragging feet and drifting thoughts."
  
  As Gaskarth, Barakat and Goldstein worked on the song, they pondered their position in a rapidly changing world in light of the pandemic and thought about how they missed their friends, family, touring, shows, art, and everything else they connect with. "Our time spent away from our most beloved dreams felt like being on cruise-control, going through the motions in a trance," Gaskarth said.
• Alex Gaskarth, Andrew Goldstein, and Zakk Cervini co-produced the track. The same three helmed All Time Low's 2020 album Wake Up, Sunshine.
• All Time Low released "Sleepwalking" on October 7, 2022. It reached #1 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart in February 2023, the band's second visit to the survey's summit following the 18-week reign of "Monsters" featuring blackbear, in 2020-21.
