Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -"When someone is sleepwalking, they’re stuck between deep sleep and light sleep and if you try to wake them up, they will be very confused and disorientated, ” Professor Hiscock says.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each night, people go through several cycles of non-REM and REM sleep. Sleepwalking (somnambulism) most often occurs during deep, non-REM sleep (called N3 sleep) early in the night. Sleepwalking is much more common in children and young adults than in older adults.
