Mary asks…How do stress and sleep deprivation cause sleepwalking?I don't understand. I mean, I have read tonnes of stuff about sleepwalking and they mention that stress is a contributing factor (among other things) to sleepwalking. Why is this? I can't seem to find out why, anywhere.
The reason I don't understand is because when someone sleepwalks they do so while in REM sleep and during that time we go through sleep paralysis, don't we?Nancy answers:Sleepwalking does not occur during REM
