A member asked:
Why is it bad to wake someone when they are sleep walking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep walking: Reports are conflicting. Some say they should be gently guided back to bed without waking them. Others counter that idea & say that waking a sleepwalker may result in their disorientation, but it is not harmful.
