if you have a serious case of sleepwalking, yes, you can sleepwalk after taking sleeping pills.\n\nSleepwalking (also called noctambulism or somnambulism), under the larger category of parasomnias, is a sleep disorder where the sufferer engages in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness while asleep or in a sleeplike state.

Stay away from sleeping pills.  It's easy to get addicted, and some sleeping pills will cause depression and anxiety.  The cure is to make sure you're really tired by getting up early and exercising.  \n\nHere's the magic formula: get up at 6am, drink a 12 oz glass of water, do a 5-10 minute warm-up (run or bike).  Follow up with 30-50 minutes of weight lifting.  Every other day do 20 minutes of aerobic exercise instead of weights.  Take one or two days a week to rest.  You'll be sleeping soundly in no time.

Lunesta is good, it will help you to sleep, but the bad taste in your mouth the next morning is why i stopped taking it.  If you can handle it, you have the most realistic dreams.

exercise helps even if it is just walking... do not get too much sleep. Depression thrives when you get too little or too much.  Sleep is when your hormones in your brain regenerate...to much sleep to much hormone and vice versa.\ntry to find your trigger.

Although talking and sleep walking have both been known for centuries, little is known about these conditions.  Sleep studies have shown that both appear to happen during stage 3 NREM sleep.\nNo cause is currently known.

There's no tie to sleepwalking with this. It's just your way of either getting to a place you're either very comfortable or uncomfortable with and a familiar way to work out some inner "issues". Subconscious issues. Good luck. This too shall pass.

sleep requires different levels of total relaxation of the body muscles (except the diaphragm and the ocular muscles, and i'm talking only skeletal, voluntrary muscles) as well as cortical de-synchronization. i bet you don't want to be standing up for this. have you ever seen a narcoleptic? they go straight into REM sleep which is the strongest point of this inhibition. the fall straight to the ground.

Well, if your an adult, 8-9 hours of sleep is healthy....its not good to under sleep or over sleep. One technique i was taught in my psych class was to lay down on your back, and concentrate on your beathing. You have to make sure your breathing in and out of your diaghram, then after your concentrated, you begin to mentally relax your muscles...and so forth...its really does relax you and helps you stay asleep. If your looking for pills or anything, you can buy melatonin. Melatonin is a chemical in your brain that helps you sleep, when you dont have enough chemical, you cant sleep. Taking melatonin pills helps enhance that chemical and helps you sleep, and the best part is that you can buy at a drugstore otc. Its totally natural. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me.

My first time taking xanex I was unable to drive.  They actually recommend you don't drive when you first take it.  this gives you the opportunity to see how it affects you.  I was told to take it before going to bed.  It made me extremely drowsy.  I do not normally sleep more than 8 hours, but I slept 12 while taking the xanex.  I no longer take it because of that.  But, if you need it then you should because it does help.  I stopped taking it once the zoloft began calming down my OCD and anxiety.

Melatonin. You can get it in the vitamin aisle. 3 mg about 15 mins before bed and you'll be in slumber city. All natural, too.

Don't take ambien.  It's very addictive.  My husband took it and had to keep taking more and more because as your body becomes accustomed to the dosage, you need more of the med to get to sleep.  Exercise, take a warm shower and set a regular bedtime and go to sleep at that time every night will ensure a good nights sleep.  This is, of course, provided you are generally healthy and not abusing alcohol or other drugs.

Registered Nurse here;  Yes, please do not take another.  Ambien is one of the strongest medications on the market for insomnia.  If this is not working, return to your physician, for evaluation, and perhaps change in sleeping medication.  But regardless of what your told here on Yahoo, Please do not take any more.  Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.

Generally if you can't sleep but are tired you are considered to have insomnia. \n\nIf this has been happening for more than a few weeks and none of the following suggestions help, you may want to talk to a doctor.\n\nI had a bad problem with insomnia for many years, and did some research on it.  Here are the things I’ve found that help the most.\n\n1.  Don't take the sleeping pills.  Although they are not addictive in the way we tend to think (you won't jones for them if you miss taking them) they are addictive in the sense that once you have taken them for a while, you will have to take them to get to sleep, but they won't have the same effect they used too.   This is because you tend to not get the necessary REM sleep you need to be rested.  If you must take a sleeping pill, take it well before you go to sleep.  For instance, I prefer to take sleeping pills 2 hours before I go to sleep, so that the pill can get into my system and make me drowsy before I get into bed, then get out of my system (hopefully) early enough that I get some normal sleep.\n\n2.  Try to go to bed at about the same time every night.  You have some wiggle room on this, but if you stay out on Saturday night till 3, it'll be harder to go to sleep at 10PM Sunday.\n\n(Which somewhat contradicts:)\n\n3.  If possible, don't go to bed if you're not sleepy.  Note  - one thing I have read and found to be true is that you have to be awake for 12 hours before you can go back to sleep.  So if you sleep till noon, again, you won't be sleepy at 10PM.  \n\n4.  Don't spend more than 15-30 minutes trying to get to sleep.  If you notice that you've been in bed more than 15 minutes, get out of bed and do something for a while.  Make sure what you do isn't going to make you more hyper; e.g. no exercising or energetic music or writing posts to online debates. \n\n5.  When you go to bed, choose a chore or some other task that you do not want to do and tell yourself that if you are still awake in thirty minutes you will do that task.  Then, if you are still awake, get up and do your chosen task.  This is my favorite suggestion, as it has worked nearly every time I've used it. .\n\nThose are the most useful suggestions I have.  Other things you can try:\n\nBefore you start getting ready for sleep, turn off high energy music and turn the lights down.  I love R&R music, but I went through a period where I had to turn the radio off every night about an hour before I went to bed, or I would be too wired to sleep. And our bodies react to reduced light by producing melatonin which puts us to sleep.  \n\nGet plenty of exercise, but not right before bed.  (Unless you're weird like me - exercise right before bed just puts me to sleep)\n\nAnother suggestion that might work is to relax your body, consciously, one area at a time, starting from your feet. You think about the ball of your left foot and relax it, then the ball of your right foot, then the arch of your left foot, etc. You have to concentrate (pretty hard) on what you are doing.

There is really no sure way to know, but a number of sleep walkers never return to their beds. So if your are in it when you wake up, chances are you haven't sleep walked. If you still have a sneaky suspicion, go to a sleep clinic!!! You could hurt yourself.
