Causes of Sleep walking

Sleepwalking is far more common in kids than in adults, as most sleepwalkers outgrow it

by the early teen years. It may run in families, so if you or your partner are or were sleepwalkers, your child may be too. Other factors that may bring on a sleepwalking episode include:

• lack of sleep or fatigue

• irregular sleep schedules

• illness or fever

• certain medications

• stress (sleepwalking is rarely caused by an underlying medical, emotional, or psychological problem)
