Sleepwalkers begin to move during deep sleep. As mentioned above, sleepwalking usually only occurs in the first third of the whole sleep and lasts for 30 seconds to 30 seconds -30 minutes, because there is only a deep sleep period in the first cycle. Sleepwalking activities are colorful and varied, some can't sit still in bed, some walk around in the living room, some get up to cook, and the most serious thing is killing and fighting (several cases have been overturned in this way, and they have all been convicted of sleepwalking).
Sleepwalkers often can't tell. They may open their eyes and do their own things like nothing happened, but at best they just look a little stunned. He may wake up late, or be woken up by someone, and he is rarely frightened. However, sleepwalkers don't remember what happened during sleepwalking, because the brain has basically no memory function during this period.
Sleepwalking is a kind of brain dysfunction related to sleep. Under normal circumstances, during REM sleep, the brain will send action instructions to the muscle movement system. If you dream of fire, your brain will command your feet to run as fast as possible. However, people also have the mechanism of breaking the yin, which can prevent the signal from being transmitted to the muscle movement system during sleep and make people sleep safely in bed. But if this mechanism is out of balance, people will act and sleepwalk. Most of the sleepwalking we see occurs in the stage of non-eye rapid movement sleep, which belongs to dreamless sleep on EEG. Sleepwalkers fall asleep in the body, but partly in the senses; The cerebral cortex is widely suppressed, but there are isolated excitation foci.
Of course, there are also a few children who may sleepwalk because of brain infection, trauma, epilepsy or hysteria, which needs to be identified by a doctor. Adult sleepwalking is mostly related to schizophrenia and neurosis. As long as sleepwalking is not caused by organic brain lesions, it does not need treatment. If it happens frequently, ask the doctor to use some sedatives. Fear and anxiety can easily aggravate sleepwalking, so try to eliminate them.
