Q. My child walks around in their sleep. Should I wake them up? (Sleepwalking)

A.

Waking your child up abruptly can startle and confuse them. It's best to gently and quietly guide them back to bed and help them fall asleep again. This occurs because the brain's sleep regulation center is immature, but it usually improves as they grow, so there's no need to worry excessively. Just focus on preventing accidents.

📝 Detailed Answer

몸은 깨어 있고 뇌는 자는 상태입니다.

  • 안전: 창문이나 현관문을 잠그고, 바닥에 위험한 물건을 치우세요.
  • 피로: 너무 피곤하거나 스트레스 받으면 증상이 심해집니다. 수면 시간을 충분히 확보하세요.
💡 성인
