Oh my. Spoilers.
This is an entire movie about a guy who should have done very obvious things when confronted with monumental problems. But then we would not have a movie.
I get it. This is a movie that started as someone's desire to create a "Hitchockian" mystery thriller, found a premise, and worked backward from there. The premise no doubt started as "how do you tell a story about a guy who needs to solve a murder, but he may have committed said murder himself?" Ah ha! I saw cartoons. Sleepwalking. Sleep driving. Sleep sexing! This guy does it all!
The first obvious thing - He kinda/ sorta begins to seek treatment for this condition with medication at the beginning of the film - but only after he somehow sleep-sexes his best friend's wife. Btw, she's far from the first woman he's apparently had luck with whilst sleepwalking, we're told.* Also: He's been driving. He's been wandering around in his undies. He is a mess. He keeps waking up in odd places. With 0% bodyfat.
After a birthday party, attended entirely by his married pal and women he has slept with (I mean... honestly... why?) Our Hero learns the best friend's wife was murdered and found by his father's grave. Kinda sus.
