sleep walking accurs when your muscles are not completely relaxed. The reason you sleep is to get energy & you are paralised in your sleep which paralises all your muscles so you do not act out the things you dream. You can wake them but it may startle them & cause them to panic in their brains causing them to hurt themselves. It can also be very dangerous NOT to wake them. It depends what they are doing. They could be sleep walking, sleep running, even sleep driving.
AnswerNo, but it is dangerous to wake a sleep-DRIVER.
Answerit's usually more dangerous not to.
The only danger in waking them is the disorientation that results.
Yes, if you wake them up they don't know what there doing. The only time it's important to wake up a sleepwalker is if there having a nightmare. Like if they walk out the door and go do something dangerous, WAKE THEM UP!
Waking a person that is sleep walking may leave them confused about their whereabouts and embarassed that they were not in control of their actions. They can be combative at first because it startles them. However it is best to gently wake them because they could hurt themselves while wandering around. Better to be woken up safe then to wake up hurt. Sometimes you can call out their name and it will wake them. Sometimes they are in a semi sleep where you can tell them to go back to bed and they will. If they do go back to bed, follow them and make sure that they get there safely.
Because when you wake a sleepwalker the can lash out and hurt themselves and others around them. They can break items and cut themselves or have massive headaches and tummy aches. Don't ever wake a sleepwalker!
Because you can scare or confuse them terribly so guide them back to bed and tell them in the morning and do not slap them cause they will wake up and be confused and it'll hurt bad.So don't hurt them and lock all doors,and hide keys.
Yes, it is dangerous to wake a sleep walker because when you wake them they become temporarily disoriented and they start to freak out. Bad for both the person woken up, and the one who woke them up. Be prepared to the possibility of a slap or a punch in the face from the sleepwalker; understand it is unintentional and you will be fine.
It is bad because they can freak out. This happens because they are sleeping, and when you are sleeping you are relaxed. But, they aren't, and part of their brain is shut off. So they don't even know what they are doing. And if you wake them, they can hurt you, or hurt themselves.
That is an myth. It is not dangerous. Infact, it may be dangerous not to wake sleep walker.
