Dream - Somnambulism or sleepwalking is one type of parasomnia, which is a sleep disorder involving abnormal movements and behaviors during sleep. This condition often occurs in children of various ages, although the exact causes are not fully understood. One possible cause is the development of an immature nervous system.

Most sleepwalking episodes last for a few minutes and may not require special treatment. However, children can potentially get themselves into dangerous situations, so it is important to keep them safe. Here are some steps that can be taken.

Monitoring: It is important to monitor children who often sleepwalk, especially early in the night or when they are sick. Therapy: If sleepwalking behavior occurs frequently, persistently, or dangerously, therapy may be necessary. Therapy can help reduce the frequency of sleepwalking by targeting sleep problems, lack of sleep, anxiety, and stress.
