Hello friends. Let us talk about our nightly rest and how to keep our sleeping spaces safe and cozy.

What is new

Most people stay relatively still while they sleep. However, some sleep disorders can cause a person to walk, move, or act out dreams without being fully awake. These sleep disorders are called parasomnias. Parasomnias involve actions or experiences during sleep that are not under control.

What it means for you

These behaviors can lead to falls, cuts, bruises, and other injuries. Knowing about these sleep issues can help you take gentle steps to protect your home environment.

One small thing to try

Keep your pathway clear of clutter to help prevent any accidental bumps or trips in the dark.
