Waking a sleepwalker can lead to disorientation, confusion, and even aggressive behavior. Sleepwalkers are typically in a deep stage of sleep and aren't aware of their surroundings. Sudden awakening can startle them, leading to potential injury—for both the sleepwalker and the person attempting to wake them. Instead of waking them, it's often recommended to gently guide them back to bed. This method minimizes the risk of agitation and helps to ensure their safety without the stress of sudden awakening. Additionally, creating a safe environment to minimize risks during sleepwalking events is a good preventive strategy.
