We'll Help You Put Sleepwalking to Bed
- Determining the Cause of Your Sleepwalking
-
When you're a sleepwalker, every night is filled with uncertainty. AdventHealth is focused on providing comprehensive care that will remove the mystery and provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
To get a better sense of the sleepwalking treatment you might need, we will need an accurate assessment of what’s wrong. We won’t stop until we’ve discovered the root of your sleep issues, exploring every possibility. Though there is usually a combination of factors for sleep-related movement issues, some medical conditions have been linked to sleepwalking, including:
- Fever
- Heart Rhythm Problems
- Heartburn
- Nighttime Asthma
- Nighttime Seizures
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Psychiatric Disorders
- Restless Legs Syndrome
You need peace of mind and a complete understanding of the causes of your sleepwalking. We’ll work to get you those answers — and make sleepwalking an issue you can finally put to bed.
- Improving Your Sleep Hygiene and Other Therapies
-
You already have all the tools to deal with sleepwalking. You just need a little help knowing how to use them. With our dedicated sleep care specialists guiding you through, you will learn how to make lifestyle changes to help cope with your condition on a nightly basis.
There are no specific solutions to sleepwalking. But in many cases, merely improving sleep hygiene may eliminate the problem. As part of our whole person approach to sleepwalking care, AdventHealth will help you assess whether factors such as fatigue, medication, alcohol, stress, or sleep deprivation are triggering your symptoms. And we'll give you guidance about how to create a safe sleep environment, one that will help you feel protected and secure.
To round out your care plan, we may recommend other therapies like hypnosis, sedative-hypnotics, antidepressants, and others. We'll also help you establish a regular, relaxing routine before bedtime to get you ready for the night ahead. Our goal is to help you confront sleep feeling powerful and protected — with the confidence that you’re back in control.
