Answer 2

ok im assuming u know that when people go  sleep they have go into light sleep followed by deep sleep.sleep walking begins in deep sleep and what they do is act out dreams .if you try to wake them up theyll act out their dream on you so if theyre dreaming of killing you you better run or youll get screwed.

Answer 3

Well, it has to do with something in the Brain. When you start to mess with someone while they are sleepwalking, there's a chance they can go into a coma, it has something to do with brain reactors and some weird cells that react differently when muscles are being overused while you are sleeping.

Which is why the brain goes into such sudden shock, causing a coma, or many other dangerous hazards such as seizures, or even insomnia.

Answer 4

They might get scared and start swing at you

Just think that you think you’re asleep and you wake up

Not in your bed but some place else and your not laying

Down kind of scary

Answer 5

it could scare them enough to give them a heart attack

Answer 6

I'm no expert, but I have read where it is a major shock to them and they can go to extremes in panic

Answer 7

Some people give credence to the adage that rousing a sleepwalker can give him a heart attack. But experts say it's highly unlikely.

Dr. Ana C. Krieger, the director of the Sleep Disorders Center at New York University, said the myth probably started because of sleepwalkers' response when they're awakened. Many are confused and terrified, having no idea how they ended up in a dark closet or gliding down a hallway

Answer 8

The idea of NOT walking a sleep walker is not correct.  You should wake a sleep walker is because they could possibly hurt themselves or others. However, you will want to be quite careful, since when you wake them you should expect them to be quite disoriented, and in some cases possibly angry. This is rare, though; we see most sleepwalkers upon waking are simply confused.
