Sleepwalking is a relatively common and innocuous arousal disorder during non‑rapid eye movement sleep.
This paper provides a review of the most recent science on sleepwalking to guide clinical decision-making.
Most patients who sleepwalk do not require treatment, but comorbid sleep disorders that result in daytime tiredness, and behaviour and emotional problems require assessment and interventions. In the absence of clinical trials, tentative, low-risk treatments - scheduled waking and hypnosis - are suggested for sleepwalking that results in distress or violence towards others. People who sleepwalk and are violent may benefit from impulse-control interventions.
梦游是一种在非快速眼动睡眠期间相对常见且无害的觉醒障碍。
本文对梦游的最新科学研究进行综述，以指导临床决策。
大多数梦游患者无需治疗，但导致日间疲劳、行为及情绪问题的共病睡眠障碍需要评估和干预。在缺乏临床试验的情况下，对于导致困扰或对他人暴力行为的梦游，建议采用初步的低风险治疗方法——定时唤醒和催眠。梦游且有暴力行为的人可能会从冲动控制干预中受益。
