10 Sleep Walking Symptoms
Sleepwalking Causes
Sleepwalking can be triggered by any number of issues, including stress, interruptions to regular sleep schedules or sleep deprivation. Physical illness, such as fever, may also sometimes cause sleepwalking episodes.1‘Sleepwalking Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 21 July 2017, mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleepwalking/symptoms-causes/syc-20353506
Sleep-related conditions, such as obstructive sleep apnea, substance abuse and medications, including sedatives, may all contribute to sleepwalking episodes.1‘Sleepwalking Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 21 July 2017, mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleepwalking/symptoms-causes/syc-20353506 Sleepwalking may also be genetic as children whose parents sleepwalk are also more likely to do the same.2Suni, Eric. ‘Sleepwalking.’ Sleep Foundation, 14 August 2020, sleepfoundation.org/parasomnias/sleepwalking
