A group of scientists conducted an experiment with 40 sleepwalkers, keeping them awake for 24 hours and then allowing them to sleep. 90% of the participants sleepwalked that same night. In another experiment, the researchers had them go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. In this case, less than half of the participants sleepwalked. This suggests that maintaining a consistent sleep schedule might have a long-term impact on reducing sleepwalking episodes.

Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder that affects millions of people around the world. According to some statistics, one in four individuals experiences sleepwalking at some point in their life. Over the years, various myths and home remedies have emerged to try to control this condition. For example, some people place cold water on the floor, believing that the sleepwalker will wake up when they touch the water upon getting up. Others claim that waking a sleepwalker can be dangerous, although studies have shown that, in general, it does not lead to serious consequences. Personally, as a sleepwalker, I can say that I never experienced any problems when I was woken up, though caution should always be exercised.

There are also theories suggesting that heavy meals before bed may induce sleepwalking, while others claim that drinking two glasses of water before sleeping can prevent episodes. Although I haven’t tried all the popular remedies, I believe that each person may respond differently to these treatments. Therefore, what works for one person may not have the same effect on another.

Ultimately, sleepwalking is a complex and still poorly understood condition, and what may work for one person won't necessarily be effective for everyone. The key is to find the approach that best suits the needs and characteristics of each individual.
