Hi, I’m Bailey Mosier. This is your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose.
In the first major study to assess the prevalence of sleepwalking in the U.S. in more than three decades, researchers found that nearly one-third of adults sleepwalk at some point in their lives, which is far more common than we previously thought.
Researchers from the Sleep Epidemiology Research Center at Stanford University studied 15,000 Americans age 18 and older and found 30 percent of adults sleepwalk.
Sleepwalking usually occurs during non-REM sleep and can last anywhere from a few seconds to 30 minutes or more. Researchers are still trying to uncover possible causes or triggers for sleepwalking and are looking to other disorders that have similar brain activity for possible answers.
That wraps up your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose. Join me here at EmpowHER.com every weekday for your next dose of women’s health.
