Sleepwalking
Published by Max February 18th, 2007 in SLEEP News, SLEEP Psychology.
Sleepwalking, why do people do it? Personally, I have sleepwalked in the past. I had just flown once around the world and my body was so tired that it must have decided to go on its own. At least that is better than this Chef who sleepwalks and “cooks”, that is scary.
Here’s some interesting facts:
Rab Wood, from Glenrothes in Fife, is worried that he could burn his house down during his sleepwalking sessions.
The 55-year-old, who has been sleepwalking since he was 14 years old, said it is making his life a misery.
His wife Eleanor said she is constantly alert at night with worry about what her husband is going to do next.
It has been estimated that between two and 4% of adults in the UK sleepwalk. Experts at the Edinburgh Sleep Centre have said that if both parents sleepwalk then their children have a 60% chance of inheriting the disorder.
Children with one parent who sleepwalks have a 45% chance of it running in their genes while there is a 22% chance if neither parent sleepwalks.
