Sleepwalking Treatment

Self-Care at Home

The following measures can be taken by a person who has a sleepwalking disorder: 

• Get adequate sleep.
  
  
• Meditate or do relaxation exercises.
  
  
• Avoid any kind of stimuli (auditory or visual) prior to bedtime.
  
  
• Keep a safe sleeping environment free of harmful or sharp objects.
  
  
• Sleep in a bedroom on the ground floor if possible. To prevent a fall, avoid bunk beds.
  
  
• Lock the doors and windows.
  
  
• Remove obstacles in the room. Tripping over toys or objects is a potential hazard.
  
  
• Cover glass windows with heavy drapes.
  
  
• Place an alarm or bell on the bedroom door and if necessary, on any windows.
