A Sleep walker

My dad told me that if you shout at someone when they are sleep talking it can give them brain damage… not sure if it’s true but it could be the same for wakeing someone thats sleep walking. Or maybe it’s just bad cause they may punch you in the face o.o

Wake a sleep walker !

First of all, the answer is a resounding YES, you should wake a sleep walker… and a resounding NO, they will not die.

The reason you will want to wake a sleepwalker is because they could possibly hurt themselves or others. However, you will want to be quite careful, since when you wake them you should expect them to be quite disoriented, and in some cases possibly angry. This is rare, though; we see most sleepwalkers upon waking are simply confused.

Sleepwalking is quite common in children and adolescents (about 15-20% will have at least one episode). We see the rate of incidence increase in adults with sleep deprivation, and with alcohol use.

It should be known that sleepwalking occurs in the deepest stages of Non-REM Sleep (stages 3 and 4) and can involve some very complex behaviors: walking, talking, dressing, undressing, preparing food, having sex, driving, and in one rare case, committing homicide! webmd.com
