What Causes Memory Loss Upon Waking Up From Sleep?

I m 26 years old, female, and have sleep issues. I have been told on many occasions that I wake up, do something, like have a conversation, laundry, shower, change clothes, or even have sexual encounters from start to finish, go back to sleep and reawaken later with no memory of any of it? Am I doing this in my sleep or am I losing memory? It only happens when I wake from sleep and then go back to sleep. I ve heard it before but didn t believe it and now I m hearing it from too many to not believe it s happening. There hasn t been many instances that I know of, but then again I don t know if I did things and nobody see. The most recent was just a week or so ago I woke up and my fiancé asked how I liked this morning and I had no idea what he was talking about. He though my I was kidding until he saw the look on my face. He knew I d been doing things in my sleep and we ve had this argument many times over that I did or didn t do or say something, but I never believed it until this time. I had undeniable proof. And no memory of how I came to have it. I have him oral and he said it was for 20 or 30 min and I let him finish that way, something I never do because I don t like it! What is this and how do I make sure I m not being takins advantage of? I m terrified of things I might ve done and not remember or things I might do and not know. Help?
