(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 18, 2015 ) Titusville, FL -- Sleepwalking affects up to 15% of the entire U.S. population. This sleep disorder is characterized by acting awake while a person is in a state of deep sleep. A sleepwalker usually walks while in deep sleep. Others would simply speak, do household chores, move around the house, but others also drive away. To avoid accidents from happening, sleepwalkers could use Syrtenty® bed pad alarm.
This bed alarm system works by placing the sensor pad on the bed, under the back of the patient, so it sounds the alarm monitor once the weight is lifted from it. The alarm monitor's volume could be set to high to awaken the sleepwalker when s/he goes out of the bed. Syrtenty® bed alarm also has an option for a musical or noise alarm.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleepwalking or somnambulism is common among children between ages 3 to 7, and is usually associated with bedwetting and sleep terrors. Among adults, sleepwalking could be caused by alcohol consumption and medications. However, the number one cause of this sleep problem, according to experts, is sleep deprivation.
People who sleepwalk are not aware of what they did during an episode. They look awake, but are really in a state of deep sleep. Because of this, sleepwalkers are usually difficult to awaken. Some believe that it is bad to awaken sleepwalkers, but this is a misconception. They have to be shaken off their sleep to avoid accidents from happening.
Website "eMedicineHealth" suggests the following to prevent accidents among sleepwalkers: avoid storing harmful and sharp objects inside the bedroom, avoid bunk beds, lock doors and windows and cover glass windows with thick curtains, clear the floor off anything that could trip the patient, and place bells or alarms on doors and windows.
Similarly, patients and their family could opt to use Syrtenty® bed pad alarm to alert them the moment the sleepwalker gets up from the bed.
Midwest Health Solutions is an authorized seller of Syrtenty® bed pad alarm that could be purchased through Amazon.
