Sleep walking occurs during REM Rapid Eye Movement stage of sleep normally the body will produce a chemical which inhibits the body from moving and “acting out” the dream. Sleepwalkers will sometimes not produce this chemical or not enough to keep them still. The name of the chemical produced escapes me at the moment.
I’ve slept walked since I was tiny and it continues to today ( I’m 22) I usually sleep walk around 2-3 times a week or more depending on what kind of stress I’m under and if I am getting the proper amount of sleep.
I’ve done a lot of research about sleepwalking but unfortunately not much or not as much as I would like is known. Some people with sleepwalking habits that are hazardous such as running almost purposely into walls will take medication to tranquilize their bodies.
When I was younger I would take this and it almost seemed to make it worse, I became a “violent” sleepwalker and thought that everyone was trying to steal my cat and would defend this imaginary cat with my life. Now I am not so much a violent sleepwalker more of an irritated sleepwalker and I am even more manageable if my husband simply concurs with whatever I say and I’ll soon go back to bed or wake up and wonder why I am in the loo looking for something.
I don’t think it is a good idea to touch or try to wake a sleep walker since they may become very confused and disoriented and with that may become violent.
If you have a sleepwalker in your home I would recommend simply telling them you’ll take care of everything for them, concur, agree, concur and then tell them to go back to bed. Most sleepwalkers have “urgent” business that needs to be taken care of so telling them you’ve it all under control and will take care of everything will ease their mind of whatever stress they are under and will hopefully be enough to convince them to go back to bed. If this isn’t the case make sure they do not injured themselves and if possible lock the doors so they cannot go outside, a locked door will usually deter a sleepwalker. If you’ve guns in the home keep the ammo and gun separate and don’t tell them where you put either of them (if possible) Other than that enjoy the show! 
Answer:
Yes it is true, though some think it is a myth. Sleepwalkers are hard to awaken. When you use enough energy to wake them, they may react as though it is a violent situation…they’ll be disoriented and may cause harm to themselves (by flailing out) or you. It's ideal to gently lead them back to bed. I hope this answers your question.
Have a good night (hopefully without walking in your sleep).
Answer:
yes it is dangerous because they’ll be stunned when u wake them and they will try to injured u, most of the time… the reason for sleep walking is because they are scared of something or they watched a scary movie or a monster, so maybe if u wake them… they will think u are a monster etc… and try to injured u
i hope this helped!
Answer:
As a chronic sleep walker myself, I have the ability to attest:
Trying to forcefully wake a sleepwalker can send the person into a panic or something similar. The ideal thing to do is to just take their hand, lead them back to bed and have them nod off again.
