Sleepwalking

February 16, 2009

Sleepwalking can be a very dangerous disorder for some. It can result in injury to the person and even damage their property. But how much do we really know about sleepwalkers?

One little interesting fact is that most of them are naked men. Hello! That little wonder might make you think twice about dressing before you go to bed.

This disorder generally tends to start at a young age. As we grow older, there are many different things that can bring on sleepwalking. These include, but are not limited to, stress, anxiety, fever and fatigue. There are also medical conditions that can cause sleepwalking as well as alcohol and certain medications.

Some of the symptoms of sleepwalking are a blank expression, glassy eyes that are wide open while the person is staring into space, confused when waking up, may sit up and may also do things that they would not normally do during waking hours. It is also possible that the person will have no memory of what has happened.

There is really no treatment for this disorder, but precautions can be taken to ensure the person’s safety and also to help them try and sleep through the night. Trying to find ways to reduce the stress in your life as well as no alcohol can help towards preventative measures. Another thing to try is some sort of relaxing exercises or some other calming effect, such as meditation or yoga. You can also speak with your doctor about getting something to help you sleep better at night.

If you or someone you know does have a habit of sleepwalking, there are certain measures you may want to take to ensure safety. This includes making sure the windows and doors are locked, be sure that there is nothing to trip over in the bedroom, put heavy curtains in your bedroom and sleeping on the bottom floor to avoid the steps. You may also want to place a bell or something noisy on the bedroom door to alert you. If a loved one is sleepwalking, you can wake them up in order to prevent injury.
