Sleep Walking and its Behaviour

Pulangiri Sirisha 

Sleepwalking — also known as somnambulism — involves getting up and walking around while in a state of sleep. More common in children than adults, sleepwalking is usually outgrown by the teen years. Isolated incidents of sleepwalking often don't signal any serious problems or require treatment. However, recurrent sleepwalking may suggest an underlying sleep disorder. Sleepwalking in adults features a higher probability of being incoherent with or coexistent with different sleep disorders similarly as medical conditions. If anyone in your social unit sleepwalks, it is vital to shield him or her from potential injuries associated with sleeping.
