"Sleepwalking" is the fifth studio album by Gerry Rafferty, released in 1982. It is the follow-up to the 1980 album Snakes and Ladders. It would be Rafferty's last album for six years. He had begun to become discouraged because of his declining popularity. Once again, he refused to put together a tour for the album, which is something Rafferty wasn't a fan of.
Sleepwalking was co-produced by Rafferty and Christopher Neil who went on to become the producer for Mike and the Mechanics. Unlike the previous Rafferty albums such as "City to City" and "Night Owl" there is considerable use of synthesizers and drum programming; some of the latter done by Christopher Neil. The lyrical content of Sleepwalking seems particularly moody even in comparison to other Rafferty compositions.
The track "The Right Moment" from this album was later recorded by Olivia Newton-John in 1985 for her "Soul Kiss" album.
