Sleepworking is a condition that occurs after long junkets of effort -- several all nighters in a row, or even one all-nighter, if sufficiently intense. Sleepworking looks and talks and sounds like being awake and functioning, but the sleepworker really is asleep inside and not registering anything that is going on.
"After last night's deadline crunch, I can't believe I hit 'reply all' to that crack about the boss. I must have been sleepworking."
