About Sleep Walking
Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder in which people walk or engage in tasks while they are still asleep. While the usual image of a sleepwalker is someone staggering down a hallway with his or her arms outstretched in front of them, sleepwalkers usually move with their eyes open so that they can see. They are actually conscious of their actions, but not on a level that will cause them to remember what happened when they wake up. People do not remember sleepwalking episodes so it may take some time for a person to realize it’s happening.
About Sleep
Sleep is necessary for mammals and many other animals, in order to rejuvenate their bodies. During sleep consciousness is lost or reduced and we are less responsive to external activities. Most people need at least 8 hours of sleep per day in order to function at their highest level. Not getting enough sleep can increase the risks of cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
About Children
Children are the offspring of a man and woman, or husband or wife. Having kids can be a blessing, but having them too soon can be stressful on two parents and especially stressful on single parents.
