Sleep and dreams in people, sentence 11
Sleepwalking happens in deep sleep, not while dreaming; children usually grow out of it, and waking a sleepwalker is not dangerous, just confusing, so it is best to guide them gently back to bed.
Who acts: Sleepwalking, children, waking · What happens: happen, not dream, grow out, wake, not be, be · To what, where: deep sleep, Sleep, sleepwalker, Children
