Sleepwalking is one of the most bizarre and terrifying phenomena out there! The human body is incredible, but it can be a real challenge too! Imagine someone looks you straight in the eye and says that you were eating, cooking, talking, walking, even driving (yes, there have been cases!), yet you don’t remember a thing. You might deny it just because it sounds like utter nonsense. But if you’re a sleepwalker, there’s nothing to be ashamed of! What causes sleepwalking varies from person to person, and experts still aren’t even 100% sure why it happens. But some common culprits include depression, OCD, insomnia, sleep apnea, night terrors, and problems with the nervous system. What do all those have in common? Yep, they’re all out of your control.

How you can keep yourself safe 8:50 #sleepwalking #sleepdisorder #brightside SUMMARY:
– Almost everybody who sleepwalked as a child grew out of it by the age of 18.
– Among children, it’s more common in girls. In adults, the number of men is a bit higher.
– Most people who sleepwalk as adults have relatives that do too. Plus, a twin is 5 times more likely to sleepwalk if the other twin does as well.
– Sleepwalkers aren’t usually dreaming because they haven’t yet reached that REM, or Rapid Eye Movement, phase of deep sleep when people dream.
– It’s almost as if someone has switched on the autopilot in your brain. In fact, your brain does stuff without your conscious mind’s involvement all the time! – You’ll give them a good scare, but they wouldn’t physically suffer any more than a person who was awakened by a loud noise. No heart attacks or seizures or anything like that.
– If you try to wake a sleepwalker by shaking them or slapping their face or even just being nearby, you’d be making a big mistake. They can lash out, even if you’re a close friend or relative!
– You can guide them gently back to their bed and see if they’ll calmly lie back down. This is the best-case scenario and the preferred method.
– There’s hypnosis, where a licensed professional will try to re-train your mind to wake up if you get out of bed. This way, you'll be alert as soon as your feet hit the floor.
– Stress-relief techniques like meditation may work too since stress can make you sleepwalk. – The rule of thumb is to keep your safety and the safety of others in mind when dealing with somebody who walks in their sleep. After all, you never know where a sleepwalker may end up. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
