Sleepwalking

When a person sleeps, his body is at rest. However, under conditions of lack of sleep, stress or certain diseases, the brain begins to actively work, trying to solve problems and relax. This can lead to somnambulism, a condition in which there is a transition between sleep and wakefulness. In this case, dreams cease to be passive, and the person is aware of his nightly travels, which gives him the opportunity to change the course of events in the dream. But despite the fact that this is considered a harmless phenomenon, often sleepwalkers do not remember their nightly adventures and do not even understand what they are doing in their dreams. As a rule, such people regularly become participants in various kinds of adventures. They can jump on rooftops or fly through the air, ride cars or buses, but such sleep does not disrupt their daily routine and does not affect their quality of life.

As already mentioned, sleepwalking affects mainly children and adolescents from 3 to 12 years old; adults are much less common. It is believed that the age of awakening the ability to control sleep occurs in a child between 4-5 years, and after 17-18 years, the ability to control sleepwalking is leveled out and is restored only during long daily night sleep over several days. Over time, cases of somnambulism are recorded less and less often and, as a rule, passionate men and women aged 50-60 years are affected. Unfortunately, there are often situations when somnambi or sleepwalking become negative phenomena - a wandering person can become a victim of malicious intent and a victim of petty thieves. Therefore, the most important advice is to be careful and attentive, do not approach people with your eyes closed. Only the person himself can tell your night guest about this.
