whats the risk!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
According to Dr Giuseppe Plazzi of the Department of Neurological Sciences at the University of Bologna in Italy, rousing a sleepwalking person, especially vigorously, might confuse or distress them temporarily!. Disoriented, they may strike out at anyone close!. It is best not to be in their way!.

Instead, it might be better to simply guide them back to bed in their sleep!. It is not likely that a sleepwalker when woken up suddenly will have a cardiac event!. It is no different from when a person sleeping normally is suddenly awakened by, say, a loud noise!. The important thing is to protect a sleepwalker from themselves!.

Well it could really scare the person!.
The other day, my friend's younger brother has night terrors (yes, not nightmares, night terrors) and he sleep walks, and the other night he got up screaming and went in the kitchen and grabbed a knife and said I HATE YOUUUU and he was screaming and almost killing my best friend and his mom but my friend had to call the police because of it!.

I'm not sure what will happen, but good question!.

I don't know!. But I used to sleep walk when I entered puberty [Im 17 now] I would bang on my older brothers room and walk straight in there and look for "My baseball!." [I was a huge tomboy, still am!.] I could not remember ANY of this until he told me!.

I almost had an accidental overdose when my mom found spilled liquid medicine on the floor of the bathroom, only to find I was drinking the bottles when I was sleeping!.

I think the risks are of terrifying the person who is sleep walking!. My brother never woke me up, he just told me to go back to bed and he said I would!.
