\"\"Cient\u00edficos de la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Stanford, en Estados Unidos, encontraron que unos 8.4 millones de personas (un 3.6% de la poblaci\u00f3n) tienen tendencia al sonambulismo.

Adem\u00e1s, los investigadores tambi\u00e9n encontraron un v\u00ednculo entre la tendencia a realizar caminatas nocturnas estando dormido y el riesgo de desarrollar trastornos como depresi\u00f3n y ansiedad.Tal como se\u00f1alan los cient\u00edficos en Neurology, la revista de la Academia Estadounidense de Neurolog\u00eda, aunque hay varias teor\u00edas sobre las causas del sonambulismo, hasta ahora se desconoce qu\u00e9 es lo que provoca este trastorno.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan el profesor Maurice Ohayon, quien dirigi\u00f3 el estudio, el sonambulismo es un trastorno de conducta durante el sue\u00f1o de la categor\u00eda de las parasomnias, en los que se produce \u201cuna excitaci\u00f3n durante la fase No REM del sue\u00f1o (o el sue\u00f1o de ondas lentas)\u201d. Se trata de episodios breves en los que la persona puede llevar a cabo actividades sencillas o complejas, como salir de la cama, ir al ba\u00f1o, caminar o salir de la casa, mientras permanece inconsciente.<\/p>\n

Los datos de la investigaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n mostraron que la gente con depresi\u00f3n tiene 3.5 veces m\u00e1s probabilidades de sonambulismo que quienes no sufren el trastorno. Quienes toman medicamentos antidepresivos mostraron tres veces m\u00e1s probabilidad de tener dos episodios de sonambulismo o m\u00e1s al mes.<\/p>\n

\nWAKE UP! Sleepwalking is common<\/p>\n

Almost 30 percent of Americans report sleepwalking at some point in their lives.
\nSleepwalkers attempt to drive cars, may fall down or may even initiate sex.
\nA study found links between sleepwalking and mental illness and sleeping medication.

Adult sleepwalkers are more common than previously realized, with upward of 8 million American adults prone to nighttime ambulation, a new study finds. In fact, about 3.6 percent of U.S. adults have walked in their sleep at least once in the previous year, researchers report Monday (May 14) in the journal Neurology. One percent experienced at least two episodes of sleepwalking per month.<\/p>\n

The findings are higher than previous studies had suggested, the researchers wrote, including an estimate from a decade-old study of the general European population, which found that only about 2 percent of people had trouble with sleepwalking within the previous year. Results from the new study also showed certain mental illnesses, including depression, and some antidepressant medications were linked with a higher risk of experiencing sleepwalking. The study may provide some clues for treating the disorder, said study researcher Maurice Ohayon, a psychiatrist at the Stanford University School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

\u00abNow we know the biggest associations with sleepwalking, and the first thing to do is remove these pathological associations \u2014 sleep apnea, insomnia, alcohol consumption,\u00bb Ohayon told LiveScience. \u00abThe key thing we must say to people is, don’t be ashamed to be a sleepwalker.\u00bb <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
