What is the importance of Sleepwalking in Macbeth?
Of course, Lady Macbeth has her famous sleepwalking scene in which she not only walks but talks in her sleep. It is clear that she is disturbed and unable to sleep properly. Indeed it is a recurring theme that the Macbeths have, by committing their crime, deprived themselves of a good night's sleep. A voice tells Macbeth as he murders Duncan, "Sleep no more, Macbeth hath murdered sleep." Later he expresses envy for Duncan because, "after life's fitful fever he sleeps well", and still later Lady Macbeth tells him, "you lack the season of all natures, sleep." which suggests that Macbeth has not been sleeping well.

How does lady Macbeth feel about Macbeth ?
Before the murder, she thinks of it as a great idea, the only way she can see to becoming queen. She doesn't see beyond that. But there is also an almost sexual excitement to her anticipation. When she prays to her "murdering ministers" she begs them to come to her woman's breasts and take her milk for gall. When she perusades Macbeth to proceed against his better judgement, she puts his sexual identity on the line: "When you durst do it, then you were a man." And as the act is being committed, she says "That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold. What hath quenched them hath given me fire." But that is the climax, so to speak, and after it is done there is no satisfaction for her. She has no joy in being queen. Macbeth becomes someone she doesn't know. And the smell of the blood never leaves her, she is saddled with guilt and misery.
