A mistaken belief about sleepwalking is that sleepwalkers
drift about in a ghost-like
way, with arms extended. The fact is most sleepwalkers walk
around quite normally, though their eyes are usually closed or
glazed. It is also commonly believed that one should never
wake a sleepwalker. But it is advisable to do so if the walker
seems in immediate danger—for example, if he or she is going
toward an open window or handling a sharp object. Another
popular misconception is that sleepwalkers are not “really”
sleeping or are only half-asleep. In fact, they are in a very deep
state of sleep. A last commonly held belief is that sleepwalkers
are easy to spot because they’re in nighties or pajamas. Often
this isn’t true because sleepwalkers can do routine tasks,
including getting completely dressed.
