Editing Sleepwalking (section)

=== Safety planning ===
For those whose sleepwalking episodes are hazardous, a door alarm may offer a measure of protection. There are various kinds of door alarms that can attach to a bedroom door and when the door is opened, the alarm sounds.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wandering & Movement Alarms & Monitors / Page 1 - Independent Living Centres Australia|url=https://ilcaustralia.org.au/search_category_paths/636|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220218092728/https://ilcaustralia.org.au/search_category_paths/636|archive-date=18 February 2022|website=ilcaustralia.org.au|access-date=2018-09-09}}</ref> The intention is that the sound will fully awaken the person and interrupt the sleepwalking episode, or if the sleepwalker lives with others, the sound will prompt them to check on the person.

Sleepwalkers should aim to have their bedrooms on the ground floor of a home, apartment, dorm, hotel, etc.

Sleepwalkers should not have easily accessible weapons (loaded guns, knives) in the bedroom or any room of the house for that matter. If there are weapons, they should be locked away with keys secluded from the sleepwalker.<ref name="Schenck, Carlos H 2007"/>

For partners of sleepwalkers who are violent or disturb their sleep, sleeping in another room may lead to better sleep quality and quantity.
