What should I do if I have sleepwalking? How can I treat sleepwalking?

Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder, but in fact it has nothing to do with dreaming. Sleepwalking usually occurs in the deep sleep stage, which is the third or fourth stage of sleep, so some people call it "walking in sleep". Why do people sleepwalk? There is still no conclusion. How should sleepwalking be treated?

Sleepwalking Treatment

1. Aversion therapy

Although this method is harmful and difficult to accept, it is in line with the principles of psychotherapy. At present, the most direct method to treat sleepwalking is still aversion therapy, but the implementation method is much gentler. Through etiology analysis, we already know that sleepwalking is more or less a symbolic wish compensation. Through aversion therapy, the sleepwalker is awakened from the dream, breaking the behavioral stereotype of the sleepwalker, making this subconscious behavior unable to achieve the purpose, and then the sleepwalking will gradually subside.

There are two key points in using aversion therapy. One is to try to wake the therapist when the patient sleepwalks, and the other is to interrupt the patient's sleepwalking behavior in time.

2. Spiritual catharsis

From the above analysis of the causes, we can know that sleepwalking is caused by mental depression, so to cure sleepwalking, we must relieve the depression deep inside our hearts. In fact, it is very simple to find the cause of sleepwalking. In most cases, the sleepwalking behavior of sleepwalkers represents their deep thoughts. The deep depression of the sleepwalker is the key to treating sleepwalking.
