What are the signs that someone may be sleepwalking?

Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is a condition where a person walks or performs other activities while not fully awake. Signs of sleepwalking include:

• Walking during sleep: The person may get out of bed and walk around as if awake.
• Blank expression: They often have a glassy-eyed stare or blank expression while moving.
• Lack of response: If spoken to, the person may not respond or may respond slowly.
• Confusion upon waking: If woken up, they might be confused or disoriented.
• No memory of the event: Typically, the sleepwalker does not remember the sleepwalking episode the next day.

Sleepwalking is more common in children and can be triggered by factors like lack of sleep, stress, or illness. It's important to ensure the sleepwalker's safety by removing obstacles and securing doors and windows. If you have concerns about sleepwalking, consider consulting a healthcare professional for advice.
