Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sleepwalking (aka somnambulism) typically occurs in children, not adults. It tends to occur during non-REM (NREM) sleep, which happens earlier in the night. It is not associated with REM sleep. Finally, while it used to be believed that it was dangerous to awaken a sleepwalker, this is no longer the case. It may be disorienting for the sleepwalker but is not physically harmful.
