10 Sleep Walking Symptoms
Treatments
Sleepwalking treatment depends on the severity of the issue and the underlying condition driving it. In most instances, if episodes occur occasionally, no treatment may be necessary. Sleepwalking in children often improves with age.2Suni, Eric. ‘Sleepwalking.’ Sleep Foundation, 14 August 2020, sleepfoundation.org/parasomnias/sleepwalking
Changes in medication or treatment for underlying conditions can sometimes mitigate this nocturnal behavior. In other cases, more creative techniques are necessary. For instance, anticipated awakening can be utilized, fully waking the person just before they have a sleepwalking episode.2Suni, Eric. ‘Sleepwalking.’ Sleep Foundation, 14 August 2020, sleepfoundation.org/parasomnias/sleepwalking
