Sleepwalking more common than previously thought
Swiss scientists say sleepwalking is more common and more dangerous than previously thought. Dr. Claudio Bassetti is director of the Neurocenter of Southern Switzerland. He recently collated data showing that about two to four percent of adults and nearly ten percent of children in Europe sleepwalk. In Switzerland that figure is one to two percent—70,000 people. One in three of these hurt themselves during their nighttime walkabouts. WRS’s Alex Helmick spoke to Dr. Bassetti about his research.
