Sleepwalking occurs when dreams are rare

Sleepwalking mostly occurs in childhood, and about 1% to 6% of children occasionally sleepwalking. If children who only experience sleepwalking once are included, the incidence of sleepwalking is about 25%.

Generally speaking, sleepwalking in children is not a big problem. In contrast, adult sleepwalking is much less common, but adult sleepwalking is a pathological behavior.

Sleepwalking is often a topic that people talk about. People are very surprised by the phenomenon of sleepwalking, and at the same time, they have also developed a series of obvious prejudices against sleepwalking. Ordinary people think that sleepwalkers probably bump around like blind people. In fact, sleepwalkers have their eyes ajar or fully open, and their walking posture is the same as usual.

Ordinary people also think that sleepwalkers are extremely courageous and dare to do some thrilling and horrific actions. In fact, sleepwalkers rarely do things that exceed the routine, and rarely do harmful offensive behaviors while sleepwalking. Of course, sleepwalkers sometimes fall and get bruised due to distraction.

Ordinary people also have a prejudice that they should not wake up sleepwalkers casually, because sleepwalkers will suddenly wake up and go crazy.

In fact, it is difficult for a sleepwalker to be awakened, and even if he is awakened, he will not go crazy, he will just feel confused. Others believe that sleepwalking is actually a dream, but psychologists have observed that sleepwalking often occurs during the non-rapid eye movement period when dreams are rare.
