In May 2009, a sleepwalking girl walked through her bedroom window on the second floor. Falling from a height of 7 meters to the ground, the girl was lucky enough to call for help before she fell asleep.

Develop potential in sleep

Hadwin suffered from somnambulism since he was 4 years old and started writing when he was a teenager. His works were painted while sleeping on all the surrounding objects such as tablecloths, newspapers, clothes and walls.

Hadwin found it difficult to understand the possibility of painting in the night, because as soon as he woke up, he had absolutely no interest or ability for art. Learning from drawing on household objects, Hadwin always prepared bedtime painting materials, drawing paper and pencils that were scattered around the house, especially under the stairs - where the composition his favorite.

Robert Wood, a 55-year-old chef from Glenrothes, Fife, England suffered from sleepwalking for 40 years. He woke up when he slept 4-5 times a week and went to the kitchen to prepare dishes such as fried eggs, stir-fries, chips . He thought an ulcer in the intestinal wall could be the cause of his illness. because it made him unable to eat and when the night came, hunger itself dragged him into the kitchen.

A 24-year-old girl with sleepwalking was admitted to the hospital as a nurse. Once at night, the on-call doctor witnessed the scene of a girl going up to the attic. When she reached the top staircase, she opened the window, went out and walked on the edge of the roof in front of the eyes of another awe-inspiring woman; then she went in with another window and went downstairs.

There are people in sleepwalking who can translate books from Italian to French ; speak foreign languages ​​like the wind, while he doesn't know anything about that language. When sitting in translation, just scratch the dictionary and look up from the light of the candle beside it. When people turn off the candle, he lights it up again, and all that happens in sleep

One in 10 people is sleepwalking

Sleep expert Irshaad Ebrahim said in sleepwalking people can drive or ride horses without knowing anything. Some even find ways to drive a helicopter. He said: ' Statistics show that 1 in 10 people have a sleepwalking at least once in their lives. Sleepwalking often does not last long and is not dangerous, but can sometimes lead to injury . '

While walking while sleeping, the patients perform the movements automatically without being aware of what they do (photo: Anhso.net).

The famous Russian biologist I. Metanikop, explaining this phenomenon in his book 'Beyond the Mystery ' says: ' While walking while sleeping, the sick person is in a special state called state sunset. He performs movements one by one without realizing what he is doing . '

Scientists' studies and observations for those who have gone and sleeping have shown here that there are ancient movement mechanisms and instincts that our ancestors were the gibbons who transmitted again. For example, sleepwalkers bend their fingers and fold their feet inward.

The biologist also added: The answer to impossible things to do while sleepwalking is not too complicated. Remember the image of a calm person walking on a wide board and definitely crossing a stream or a deep waterway. That's because he didn't have any thoughts about danger even if he slipped. But imagine that same board, but it is north on a fairly high level through an alley between two beams on a construction of a multistory building. And here definitely a thought will hinder you: " I fell! " And your step is no longer sure, confident. But such thoughts are not in the sleepwalker on the narrow edge of the roof. Because his consciousness is still sleeping.

No medicine or medical technique can cure sleepwalking

Scientists believe that stress is the main cause of disease. People can become sleepwalkers if their sleep is often interrupted 3-4 times a night, or if they talk during sleep.

Sleepwalking mainly occurs during a period of sleep cycles

Sleepwalking often occurs at the third stage of sleep.

Sleep is divided into 5 stages. With each stage, the body will have different reactions.

Sleepwalking often occurs in the third stage of sleep (very deep sleep stages). In this stage, our brain produces many delta waves (high-amplitude brain waves), which deepen sleep.

If sleepwalking occurs during REM sleep, it may be a sign of sleep disorder. This phenomenon is called REM sleep disorder , which may be more or less related to neurological diseases like Parkinson's.

Children are more susceptible to sleepwalking

Why is that? The simple reason is that for adults, two periods of deep sleep and very deep sleep tend to decrease. And the nature of why science is not clear.

Sleepwalking can be hereditary

There is evidence that sleepwalking is inherited in a family. In 2014, the American Medical Association reviewed data on the sleeping habits of 1,940 children born between 1997 and 1998.

Accordingly, 30% of children in this study met sleepwalking. And if a parent has been sleepwalking, the child is likely to inherit this phenomenon, at a rate three times higher than normal.

And if a child has both parents who are sleepwalking, the rate will be 7 times higher.

Awakening a sleepwalker will not harm them

When awakened, they can be disoriented and become confused, and have somewhat violent reactions.

Many people believe that if they wake a sleepwalker, they may be in danger. However, according to Michael Salemi, director of the California Sleep Disorders Center: "It is true that you can startle a sleepwalking person. When awakened, they can become disoriented and become confused, get out there. The reactions are somewhat violent, but I have never seen a case that has been proven to have people died from being awakened when sleepwalking. "

However, Salemi thinks that you should gently bring them back to bed, instead of waking them up.
