Some time ago, Xiao Liang (pseudonym), a junior high school student in Hangzhou, did not know why, frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms, gastrointestinal function is also significantly worse, but to the hospital gastroenterology department, did not find any organic diseases in Xiao Liang's body.

Just when everyone was upset, Xiao Liang's mother was surprised to find that Xiao Liang had quietly sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night, taking out the meat in the refrigerator and cutting everything to eat, sometimes the meat was even half cooked. Moreover, not only meat, but also other dishes in the refrigerator cannot escape the fate of being "stolen".

What's even weirder is that in the process

Xiao Liang seemed to be very engaged

It was as if he couldn't hear the people around him calling him at all

After eating, go back to your room and continue sleeping

The next day, when the parents asked

When something happened the night before

Xiao Liang was like amnesia

I was not impressed by what was going on in the night

Sleepwalking in teenagers: or related to increased stress in junior high school! Do not wake up sleepwalkers

Combined with Xiao Liang's symptoms, the mother suspected that her son was sleepwalking, and after observing for a period of time, she found that Xiao Liang's sleepwalking was more frequent, about 1 to 2 times a week.

Diagnosed with sleepwalking

Or related to high learning pressure

In desperation, the mother took her son to the Sleep Disorder Clinic of the Seventh People's Hospital of Hangzhou For treatment, and after examination and evaluation, Xiao Liang was diagnosed with sleepwalking, which is often referred to as sleepwalking.

Doctors analyzed that XiaoLiang's sleepwalking may be related to the increase in junior high school learning pressure. Moreover, Xiao Liang often drools when she sleeps, and her tongue is fat and has teeth marks and white and greasy, and her pulse is thick, which belongs to the spleen deficiency and wetness.

The reasons for this are more complex, generally in the state of mental stress, fatigue, usually manifested as doing mechanical actions, generally do not answer other people's questions, if the answer can only say simple words.

After a period of combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, Xiao Liang's sleepwalking symptoms and drooling problems have basically disappeared.

What should I do if my family sleepwalks?

× rumors:

Folklore says that waking up sleepwalkers is dangerous, which can cause sleepwalkers to become unconscious or have a heart attack.

√ Truth:

According to the National Sleep Council, the truth is quite the opposite: it is more dangerous not to wake up sleepwalkers.

Sleepwalking people are easily injured by trips to objects in the room, touching table corners, or slipping on them because they do not respond to external stimuli; if they leave the house during sleepwalking, they are more likely to have accidents such as car accidents.

Too much debris, wires, etc

Prevent sleepwalkers from exploring "outer space"
