I'm a sleepwalker. While asleep I can accomplish basic tasks, but nothing which requires higher brain function. I've heard of lucid dreaming; is there any way I can train myself to do simple household chores while asleep?

I read somewhere recently about a method (such as timeboxing) that was applied to housework, where it was broken down into increments of 15, 30 and 60 minutes (or something like that). I can't remember the details and I can't remember (or find) where I read it. Do you know? I did read this thread but couldn't find what I'm looking for.
