Chapter 237: Sleepwalking (Seeking Points and Receiving Rewards)

Which of the two stories about the origin of Xi is more exciting, and which one is more real?

Since then, Dong Yong has lived a happy life of hugging left and right.

After all, Dong Yong has two wives.

Even if Dong Yong wants not to hug left and right, it is not possible.

Fast forward to the past few months.

A few months later, Dong Yong, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly got up in a daze, and then Dong Yong flew up.

Dong Yong: What is this for?

Could it be that Dong Yong sleepwalks?

Sleepwalking is the strange phenomenon of getting out of bed on your own during sleep and then returning to bed to continue sleeping. It is a neurological sleep disorder in which the symptoms are generally walking around the home in a half-awake state, but some people leave the home or perform some dangerous actions. Somnambulism is a neurological sleep disorder in which people walk around their home in a half-awake state, but some people leave the home or do some dangerous behaviors, such as rolling out windows, driving a car, or even some violent activities, such as killing people. In 1846 the American Albert Tirrell was accused of sleepwalking and murdered his lover, and was later acquitted. In 1999, Scott Falater, an Arizona native, was convicted after being charged with stabbing his wife 44 times.

Sleepwalking disorder, commonly known as "confusion", is when you suddenly get up during sleep to do an activity, and then fall back asleep, waking up with no idea what you are doing during sleep. Nocturnal wandering disorder does not occur in dreams, but in the 3rd-4th stage of deep sleep. This phase is concentrated in the first half of the night. Therefore, nocturnal wandering usually occurs in the first 2 to 3 hours after falling asleep. Sleepwalking syndrome mostly occurs in childhood (6~12 years old), and can occur at any time in children, but it is more common at the age of 5~7 years old, lasts for several years, and can disappear on its own after entering puberty. In childhood, the proportion of occasional sleepwalking is 15%, and the rate of frequent occurrence is 1%~6%. There are more men than women. The high incidence of sleepwalking within the same family indicates that sleepwalking is hereditary. Night terror attacks usually occur within half an hour of falling asleep and no later than 2 hours at the latest.

Somnambulate is a common physiological phenomenon. There are many ways to sleepwalk, both of which are ordinary. There are bizarre ones again.

Some people with sleepwalking are after falling asleep. They will involuntarily get up from the bed and talk nonsense, even get dressed and cook in an orderly manner, or run outside for a walk and then come back to sleep in the bed, and wake up the next day with no memory of what happened during the night.

The length of sleepwalking also varies. Reputedly. There is a sleepwalker in France. His name is Yong Ario. A sleepwalk can be as long as 20 years. One night, he suddenly got up after falling asleep and left his wife and 5-year-old daughter behind. Came to London, England. There he found a job, married another wife, and had a son. One night, more than 20 years later, it dawned on him and he hurried back to France. The next morning, Ario woke up. When his French wife saw her gray-haired husband, who had been missing for more than 20 years, she asked with mixed joy and sorrow: "My dear, where have you fled? However, Ario stretched his waist and said casually, "Don't be kidding, didn't I sleep well last night?" (According to a 2010 study by Professor McDe, the above story is just a joke, McDeer pointed out that humans sleepwalk for a maximum of 46 minutes, and other Earth creatures do not sleepwalk at all.) If Ario could sleepwalk for twenty years, he would be a strange alien creature. )

According to statistics, the number of sleepwalkers accounts for about 1~6% of the total population, and most of them are children and men, especially those who are lively and imaginative, and most of them have appeared several times. And most adults with sleepwalking disorder are left over from childhood. If children who sleepwalk only once are included, the rate of sleepwalking is about 25%. In general, sleepwalking in children is not a big deal. In contrast, adult sleepwalking is much less, but adult sleepwalking is a pathological behavior. Sleepwalking is the strange phenomenon of getting out of bed on your own during sleep and then returning to bed to continue sleeping. Although this phenomenon is called sleepwalking, according to the records of the brain wave diagram mentioned above, the patient's brain waves are displayed in stages 3 and 4 of sleep, and it is in the stage of deep sleep, and the stage of sleep does not dream, so sleepwalking has nothing to do with dreaming. Sleepwalkers are mostly children, mostly between the ages of 6 and 12. Sleepwalkers remain asleep during their actions after getting out of bed, and most sleepwalkers wake up with no idea of their nighttime movements. A small number of them have clear memories, but they are not sure that they are sleepwalking, thinking that they are just dreaming.

The strange phenomenon of sleepwalking is that the person can engage in very complex activities in the course of action, opening the door to the street, picking up equipment or avoiding obstacles without colliding and injuring himself. After the activity, go back to bed and continue sleeping. Sleepwalking in adults is mostly related to schizophrenia and neurosis. Sleepwalking does not require treatment as long as it is not caused by an organic lesion of the brain. If it occurs frequently, a doctor may be asked to administer some sedation. Fear and anxiety can easily aggravate sleepwalking, so try to eliminate fear and anxiety.

Studies have shown that sleepwalking is primarily the result of activity in the cerebral cortex of a person. The activity of the brain consists of two processes, "excitation" and "inhibition". Normally, the cells of the cerebral cortex are in a state of inhibition while a person is sleeping. If one or more groups of nerve cells that innervate movement are still excited, sleepwalking occurs. The range of sleepwalking is often the environment that the sleepwalker is most familiar with and the movements that are often repeated. Sleepwalking is often a topic that people talk about. People are amazed at the phenomenon of sleepwalking, and at the same time have a series of obvious prejudices against sleepwalking.

Sleepwalkers are thought to be like blind people, but in fact, sleepwalkers have their eyes half-open or fully open, and they walk in the same posture as usual. Ordinary people also think that sleepwalkers are very bold and dare to do some thrilling and terrifying actions, but in fact, sleepwalkers rarely do things that go beyond the norm, and rarely make hurtful offensive behaviors when sleepwalking. Of course, sleepwalkers sometimes fall and bruise occasionally due to distraction.

Ordinary people also have a prejudice that they should not wake up sleepwalkers casually, because sleepwalkers will be frightened crazy when they wake up suddenly. In fact, it is very difficult for a sleepwalker to wake up, and even if he does, he does not go crazy, he just feels confused. Others believe that sleepwalking is in fact dreaming, but psychologists have observed that sleepwalking tends to occur during non-REM periods when dreams are rare. (To be continued......)
