Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is a disorder characterized by walking or performing other complex behaviors while in a state of sleep. This phenomenon typically occurs during the deep stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and can involve activities ranging from simple movements to more elaborate behaviors, such as leaving the house or driving. Individuals who sleepwalk are often unaware of their actions and have little to no memory of the episode upon waking. The exact cause of sleepwalking is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, developmental, and environmental factors. Contributing factors include sleep deprivation, stress, fever, certain medications, and underlying sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. Additionally, sleepwalking is more common in children and may be related to normal developmental changes in sleep patterns.
Treatment for sleepwalking typically focuses on ensuring safety and addressing any underlying causes. Creating a safe sleep environment by removing potential hazards and locking windows and doors can help prevent injuries during episodes. Improving sleep hygiene by establishing a regular sleep schedule and ensuring adequate rest is crucial in reducing the frequency of sleepwalking episodes. For individuals with frequent or severe sleepwalking, especially if associated with other sleep disorders, consulting a sleep specialist may be necessary. In some cases, therapy or medications such as benzodiazepines or antidepressants may be prescribed to help manage the condition. Addressing stress or anxiety and treating underlying conditions can also be beneficial in reducing the occurrence of sleepwalking.
