What causes sleepwalking?
Other factors that may contribute to sleepwalking include underlying medical conditions such as sleep apnea, fever, and restless leg syndrome, as well as stress, anxiety, and alcohol consumption. While sleepwalking can be a potentially dangerous behavior, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of injury or harm, such as securing doors and windows and creating a safe sleeping environment. Treatment for sleepwalking may include addressing any underlying medical or psychological issues and implementing behavioral strategies to reduce the occurrence of sleepwalking episodes.
