🧠 Ever wonder why some people sleepwalk or act strangely in their sleep?

Here’s what you should know:
Sleepwalking is a non-REM parasomnia — meaning it happens outside of REM sleep when the body can still move.

That’s why people can be physically active while sleepwalking.

It often runs in families and typically fades in children by the early teens. But if it continues into adulthood, it could point to an underlying sleep disorder.

While it may seem harmless or even funny, sleepwalking can be dangerous and disruptive.

If you or someone you love is sleepwalking regularly, a sleep evaluation can help uncover the cause — and the right treatment.

Most people think dreaming is just random—but it actually serves a powerful psychological function.

Our Medical Director and Sleep Physician, Dr. Samuels, explains that dreaming is your brain’s way of processing and resolving emotional stress from the day.

When you dream, especially during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, your mind is working through unresolved feelings, internal conflicts, or emotionally charged experiences.

That’s why distressing dreams or nightmares often reflect real-life stressors—or even the media you consume. Watching violent or emotionally intense content before bed can influence the tone of your dreams and disrupt your sleep quality.

Dreaming is not just a byproduct of sleep—it’s an emotional reset. Protecting your dream cycles by prioritizing restful, uninterrupted sleep can help you feel more balanced, calm, and mentally clear during the day.

Understanding your dreams means understanding your emotional well-being—and sleep is where that healing begins.
