On TV, people who sleepwalk generally act like zombies, they stagger along with their arms held stiffly in front of them. In fact (as you know if youve ever seen one), most sleepwalkers walk around quite normally. They may even perform routine tasks. Such as getting dressed or brushing their teeth. Sometimes they talk, although there conversation may not make a lot of sense. Sleepwalking is fairly common behavior. Especially among children. It occurs during periods of very deep sleep. In most cases, a person sleepwalks just a few times, then the sleepwalking stops forever. If sleepwalking becomes a frequent problem the sleepwalker may need a doctor help. What should you do if you see someone sleepwalking? Leading the sleepwalker back bed is usually all that is necessary. But if the sleepwalker be in danger of injury, gently wake him or her up.
