Watching porn in my sleep

SleepIssues

Over the last few weeks, my wife has woken up in the middle of the night to find me masturbating and watching porn on my phone. This usually happens around 3am about 3-4 hours after I go to sleep. Understandably, she'll get angry and talk to me about this in the morning.

However, each time this happens I have no memory of anything happening. As far as I'm concerned I've slept through the night and have no idea what I was doing. This is very hard to believe for my wife and is causing fights as a result. It's happened a handful of times and has only occurred in the past few weeks and months since the lockdown has started.

I've just complete a sleep study to get a diagnosis for sleep apnoea that I'm waiting to get the results for. This study was scheduled before these other issues arose but I'm wondering if there's possibly a connection?

Has anyone ever heard of anything like this and what the possible cause would be? I'm hoping the sleep study will help explain what's been going on.
