Level Sneak by Being Still?

Possible Spoilers
So I am in Labyrinthia and there are some evemies who are constantly red

Spoiler:

I don't know if it is just because of the College of Winterhold quest or not

I have been crouched in a doorway for about 10 minutes, hands of the controller and my sneak has leveled up 4 times! I started at a 57 and I just got 61.

Anybody else getting sneak credit while just crouching?

I think the reason for leveling while just standing there is because of the enemies around you. I have done the same thing, but not that long. Your skill is rising because your hiding for the enemies ( I guess)

Yeah same here. But for me it only seems to work if they are actively looking for you. Not sure how the system works.

That makes sense.

Just hit level 66, btw.

I'm so sneaky I can't even tell I'm sneaking!

Oh yeah, sneak is certainly the easiest skill to level up! I had to stop sneaking a bit because it was causing my character to raise level too soon!
My sneak would be 45-50 and my combat skills 25-30, meaning I became a bit weak for my higher level character.
