Sleepwalking is due to psychological factors

People in deep sleep suddenly turn nervous and scared. Their eyes are wide open, their faces are red, their heart beats speed up, their limbs move disorderly, and they even sit up from the bed and cry loudly or cry for help. After a while, they go back to sleep by themselves and can't remember the next morning. If they wake it up at that time, they may recall that they were in a nightmare just now. This kind of situation, known as nightmare, is common in children, and occasionally occurs in adults after fatigue and anxiety. As far as nightmare itself is concerned, it is not a disease, but a nightmare in the heterogeneous sleep period.

Some people suddenly get up in sleep, wear shoes, rummage things, or open the door to go out. Most people can go to bed by themselves after a few minutes, fall asleep again, and can't recall afterwards. If they wake them up before they go back to bed, they don't know why they do it. This is called sleepwalking.

The world champion of sleepwalking is an Indian named Pandit ramlaha, who has walked 16 miles along a dangerous road without realizing that he has left his bed.

It has been confirmed that sleepwalking is related to certain psychological factors, such as guilt, worry, nervous tension and other emotional impulses. It is reported that there are four million sleepwalkers in the United States.

Somnambulism is more common in children and decreases in adults. However, if adults often sleepwalk, they should seek medical advice. Some epilepsy patients often have sleepwalking, they can not recall, may cause a variety of serious adverse consequences. If necessary, EEG can be performed to make a definite diagnosis.
