Or ask him to imagine that he wakes up as soon as he holds the doorknob. First explain the practice method to the child, and then let him practice his imagination on his own. Let him imagine that he is proud and happy. Praise your child for their cooperation. Some children do better with negative imagination. For example, ask your child to imagine that he walked out of his room after falling asleep and fell down the stairs. Then let him say to himself: "Stop, stop, go back to bed. You are walking in your sleep!" It is very scary to make the child feel sleepwalking and falling as realistically as possible. Finally, let the child end the imagination exercise with the scene of himself sleeping well in bed. Praise and reward tell your child how happy you are when his sleepwalking decreases: "Joe, you only sleepwalked once this week. That's great! You can get a gift." You can also use more formal Charts and incentives.

He often got up alone at night, walked to the anatomy room, broke into the door, bit the nose of the corpse with his mouth, and then returned to the dormitory to lie down and sleep. Not long after the incident, the school discovered that many corpses had missing noses. After careful investigation, the truth was revealed. The duration of sleepwalking also varies. It is said that there was a sleepwalking patient in France named Yon Alio, who sleepwalked for as long as 20 years at a time. One night, he suddenly got up after falling asleep, left his wife and 5-year-old daughter, and came to London, England. There he found a job, married another wife, and had a son. One night more than 20 years later, he suddenly understood and hurried back to France. The next morning, Alio woke up. When his French wife saw her gray-haired husband, who had been missing for more than 20 years, she asked with a mixture of sadness and joy: "My dear, where have you escaped to? There has been no news for more than 20 years." However, Alio stretched himself and He said nonchalantly: "Don't be kidding me! Didn't I sleep well last night?" How does sleepwalking occur? Research shows that sleepwalking is mainly the result of human cerebral cortex activity. Brain activity includes two processes: "excitation" and "inhibition". Normally, when a person is sleeping, cells in the cerebral cortex are in a state of inhibition. If one or more groups of nerve cells that control movement are still in an excited state at this time, sleepwalking will occur. The range of dream movements is often the environment that the sleepwalker is most familiar with and the actions he often performs repeatedly. According to Japanese statistics, the number of sleepwalkers accounts for about 1 to 6% of the total population. Most of them are children and men, especially those who are lively and imaginative. Most of them have appeared several times. Most adults who suffer from sleepwalking are carryovers from childhood. When treating sleepwalking, psychological treatment and drug treatment must be carried out at the same time. Bad mental factors should be removed, anxiety, fear and tension should be eliminated, their environment should be improved, and they should pay attention to a balance between work and rest and physical exercise; at the same time, appropriate doses of sedative and sleeping drugs, such as diazepam and diazepam, should be supplemented according to their different ages.

There are many things that are very weird and cannot be explained by physics. I also experienced sleepwalking once. After walking more than 20 floors, I actually walked to someone else's house. I went to the 3rd floor of my community. On the third floor, I discovered an extremely weird phenomenon. When I turned back, a road suddenly appeared in front of me. My experience is that you must not be afraid, God is testing mankind
