Noctambulant is a rarely used word derived from the Latin words "nox" meaning night and "ambulare" meaning to walk. It refers to someone who wanders or walks around during the night, often in a sleepwalking state. There are several synonyms for noctambulant, including nightwalker, night roamer, night wanderer, night stalker, and night crawler. These terms all describe a person who moves around during the night, whether it's for recreational purposes or due to a sleep disorder. Regardless of the name used, noctambulants often have an otherworldly and mysterious allure attributed to their late-night movements.
