How to treat sleepwalking in children

Patient's question:

Woke up in the evening and went outside. Said some strange things.

Doctor's answer:

Sleepwalking occurs most frequently in boys aged 6 to 12 during periods of growth and development. On the basis of excluding organic factors, it is often associated with social psychological factors, lifestyle rhythms, and growth and development factors. Therefore, it is important to first explain the characteristics and causes of the disorder to the family members and the patient, alleviating their psychological burden. This helps avoid anxiety and tension caused by the occurrence of sleepwalking behavior in children, which could worsen the symptoms of sleepwalking.
