Noctambulant refers to a person who walks or moves about while asleep, commonly known as a sleepwalker. This phenomenon occurs during the NREM sleep stage, where individuals may perform complex behaviors without being aware of their actions. Sleepwalking can happen to people of all ages, but it is most prevalent in children. The causes of noctambulism can vary, including factors like sleep deprivation, stress, or certain medications. While sleepwalking is generally harmless, it can lead to accidents or injuries if the person encounters obstacles. Treatment options may include improving sleep hygiene and addressing underlying issues.
