10 Common Sleep Disorders
Common Sleep Disorder #6: Sleep Walking
Whenever you walk, whether during the day or at night, you will usually be aware of your actions. However, some people may walk and carry out activities while they are still asleep. This condition is called sleepwalking. According to a study conducted by scientists from Stanford University, approximately 8.5 million Americans experience sleep walking.
According to the study, people are more likely to sleep walk if they sleep for less than seven hours a night, have sleep apnea, suffer from depression, or abuse alcohol. Sleep apnea is more prevalent in children with about 15 percent of those aged 4 to 12.
