Okay, you can listen to Dr. Crazy above and try a bunch of natural healing methods that act in two ways: 1) they help you relax about the problem. 2) they act as a placebo (it works because you think it works). While placebos aren't bad, they aren't always the best thing you can do. Such is the case here.

I've sleepwalked for years. From what I have gathered, there are two reasons people sleepwalk. Environment and mental state.

Environment can be discomfort related to where he is sleeping, intestinal discomfort, lack of sex (if he is initiating sex in his sleep), or even allergies. I walk in my sleep if I drink too much milk after about 4 pm. I'm missing an enzyme in my tummy and so I turn milk into an opiate, which keeps me from fully falling asleep. I'm a pretty unusual case though.

Mental state can play a big role in sleepwalking, too. Yes, depression and anxiety can effect sleepwalking. You should try to minimize these. But, my goodness, how much of that can you be expected to take care of?

Instead, think about his mental state when he is sleepwalking. Why is he turning on all the lights? Chances are he doesn't know what is going on, but somewhere in his mind he feels the need to do it. When you find him turning on lights, tell him he has one more light to go and they'll be all on and the house will be secure. When he turns it on tell him the lights are all on and the house is secure, it's time to go back to bed. Even if only one light is on, generally sleepwalkers will be satisfied and go back to bed.

I used to have my roommates tell me to clean things when I was sleepwalking. I still got my full need of rest, but then our bathroom was clean. Cool! Sleepwalkers shouldn't do anything you would let a five year old do (no knives!). Let someone know before hand if you plan something like this, as it is really weird to wake up washing dishes in your underwear with a crowd watching.

If he is peeing in odd places, it helps to have him not have to pee. Make sure he pees before bed and maybe even doesn't drink too much 4 hours before bed. If that doesn't help, he could set an alarm at 4 to 6 hour intervals to help him wake up to go pee.

It is okay to wake up a person who is sleepwalking. They will not be hurt, although they might be a little surprised they aren't in bed. Tell them they want to go back to bed now (you could even ask them to take you to bed, then lead them). Remember: sleepwalking is like a deep hypnotic state - the sleepwalker doesn't know what's going on and is very suggestible.

Good luck!

Follow these Nature cure carefully especially col um No.(3) :

Depression, Tension & Increase of will-power.


Increasing the will-power : Our mind has a great effect on these glands. For example, continuous fear damages the Pituitary gland and makes one timid. Similarly,tension and worry disturb the Pineal gland and so leads to high B.P. and as Pineal gland controls other glands it also disturbs other glands and digestive system. In modern times, strees-tension or worry-fear have increased and they often disturb these endocrine glands. If these endocrine glands are not treated immediately, it might lead to malfunctioning of other glands of the body. As these glands are interrelated, whenever one gland is disturbed, the other glands also get disturbed. So, when you press on the points of these endocrine glands you will feel pain on points of more than one gland especially in case of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is very improtant to give Acupressure treatment on all the endocrine glands and keep them under proper control.

These glands also control the mind (the will-power). So in order to get rid of bad habits like smoking, drinking, drug addiction or even overeating, it is extremely necessary to give treatment on all endocrine glands for at least, fifteen days. Because, these people lack the necessary will-power to give up bad habits, they often break their vows to stop such bad habits and so they are considered unreliable. However, a treatment of fifteen days will give them necessary will-power to stop these bad habits after that. And they will be free from the withdrawal symptoms of stopping these bad habits.

Nervous tension : In the modern days because of fast life and loss of contentment,nervous tension keeps on building up increasingly, tending to damage our mind and health.

How to find out : Ask the patient to lie down on the back and ask some one to press on the base of the middle toe in both the legs. If there is a hurting sensation,it means nervous tension. If the hurting is unbearable, it means that the person is on the verge of collapse and needs immediate attention.

C U R E : (1) While the patient is lying on the back, bend all the toes of both legs, backward. It may hurt but give little more pressure and bend them as much as possible. Repeat this three times a day till the tension is removed.

(2) Clasp your hands tightly interlocking the fingers. Then with left hand fingers press on the back of the right hand and then with right hand fingers, press on the back of the left hand. repeat for about 1 to 2 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.

(3) Insomnia : The above mentioned treatment can be taken for 5 to 12 minutes at night in bed to ensure good sleep and cure insomnia.
