Sleepwalking chef seeks medical help over fears he'll burn house down

A former chef is seeking medical help to stop him cooking in the middle of the night, according to today's Daily Telegraph.

Robert Wood, of Glenrothes, Fife in Scotland, is seeking help to stop him sleepwalking and cooking in case he accidentally burns his house down.

Wood, 55, sleepwalks up to four or five times a week. His wife Eleanor has caught him rustling up spaghetti bolognese and peel potatoes while asleep.

Wood is said to have started sleepwalking as a teenager.
