Sinning around sleep?

[faqcorner]

Ok, lemme explain the question better…

I know it Is NOT a sin when you do a supposed “sinful” action when you are sleeping…

however, when you kinda, in a WAY just get up, and you are maybe still extemely drowsy and maybe a bit half asleep…and then you do a sinful action…

is that a sin?

such as I get up and I …accidently masturbate, but didn’t mean to…

I mean the action, not the intent for like…the pleasure…I don’t think ._. it’s like 2 hours after it happened and I don’t remember much from it… ]

please answer this question please !!..

One must be fully conscious in order to commit a mortal sin. If you are just waking up you are not in complete control of your will. Also, if you can’t remember what happened or distinguish between the dream state and the reality, then you have no worries.
