While both of these videos may be humorous, Sleepwalking is actually no laughing matter. Sleepwalking is characterized by complex behavior (walking) accomplished while asleep. Occasionally nonsensical talking may occur while sleepwalking. The person’s eyes are commonly open but have a characteristic glassy “look right through you” appearance. Approximately 15% of children between 4-12 years of age will experience sleepwalking.
For children and adults, Sleepwalking is usually a sign of lack of sleep, intense emotional problems, stress, or fever. As these conditions resolve, Sleepwalking incidences disappear. The scary part enters into play when children are able to get out of bed, and unlock doors to let themselves out. There is real potential for children – and adults – to injure themselves accidentally while Sleepwalking.
When a dog “sleep-dreams”, it can be hilarious. But as you see in the below video, even that can have its consequences. Luckily, the dog in question was unhurt, and ok. I cannot say the same for myself, since I actually hurt my arm pretty badly when I did my take!

The newscaster thinks her jokes are funnier than they really are, I also noticed no direct citations of the usernames for the videos they played. YouTube really doesn’t cut it for citing the source. And what does dreaming of internet fame mean? You’ve had it, and for quite some time.

I used to sleep walk as a kid on an almost nightly basis. I still do it intermittently as an adult, especially after flying and staying in hotels.
Worst sleep walking incident? Staying at my parents during the holidays (stress, jet lag always make me sleep walk!) and going into their bedroom… in a little nightgown… to pull all the blankets off their bed because I was “looking for the dog”.
They sleep naked. Thank goodness I do not remember the incident.

That video is indeed hilarious I have only ever seen one person sleep walk and it was when I was younger I saw my brother walking around late at night in the dark he said he didn’t remember it the next day but I have my suspicions hehe.

One thing the no one has mentioned (the reporter included) is that it is actually possible to scare someone to death, literally.
When waking your pet as the case may be, or a human from a sleep walking, or other nightmare, you must talk to them calmly, gently bringing them back to a state of consciousness. Or in the case of a child hold on to them gently while talking calmly and lead them back to their bed.
You should never yell, or startle anyone or thing that is in not actually awake… you could kill them.
Just an FYI for all you readers out there.
