We're covering the chapter on sleep, and one of my students wrote on
her daily reaction card that she has heard that one is not supposed
to awaken a sleep walker. She even stated that she saw a TV show
about a supposedly true story about a sleepwalker charged with a
crime while asleep. I thought I understood that is was a myth about
the dangers involved in waking a person during their sleepwalking
episode, but as I was doing some web research I found this report on
NPR (see link below) from Dr. Ana Krieger of NYU stating that it is
not a myth. What do others tipsters more knowledgeable about this
subject know or can add?
