Other Therapy

Relaxation techniques, mental imagery, and anticipatory awakenings are preferred for long-term treatment of persons with sleepwalking disorder.

• Relaxation and mental imagery should be undertaken only with the help of an experienced behavioral therapist or hypnotist.
  
  
• Anticipatory awakenings consist of waking the child or person approximately 15-20 minutes before the usual time of an event, and then keeping him awake through the time during which the episodes usually occur.
