Sleep walk is just like sleep talking, except you are walking. When you sleep talk you are walking in your sleep. You do not have the slightest hint that you are sleep walking. For you are in deep sleep.

Asked by Wiki User

According to the Shakespearean play, Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] suffered from extreme heartache and mental anguish by the end of the play. Indeed, Act 5 opened with her sleepwalking before two witnesses: her Doctor and her Gentlewoman attendant. As she sleepwalked, Macbeth's Lady talked to herself and kept rubbing at her hands. She talked her way through the motions of appearing to try to get rid of blood.

What lines bring out Lady Macbeth's irony in the sleepwalking scene?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene at the beginning of Act 5 sounded the end to the rule of Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] and his wife as King and Queen of Scotland. Lady Macbeth was her husband's advisor, critic, defender, help and soul mate, inspiration, lover, and spouse. He was bound to become as terminally unhinged as she had become without such a hugely encompassing presence in his life. Just as her presence pushed him toward the murders that gained for them the crowns, so did her absence push him toward destruction, despair, depression, defeat, and death. After the killing of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], Lady Macbeth advised, 'These deeds must not be thought/After these ways: so, it will make us mad' [Act 2 Scene 2 Lines 33-34]. When she saw how blood-splashed her husband was, she likewise advised, 'A little water clears us of this deed' [Line 67]. As much as she might not have thought of the killings, her daily life as Queen must have been a constant reminder of the bloodied path to the throne. In effect, she couldn't stop thinking of what she had done no matter how much she tried. She therefore had no other option than to follow her own advice and go mad. Likewise would she have focused on her other piece of advice regarding blood stains and water. She became obsessed with covering and lessening her guilt by washing it away as if it had never existed. Once again, she couldn't stop thinking of what she had done no matter what. And once again, she had no choice other than to follow her own advice and try to make the blood go away with constant rubbing and make-believe washing. And finally, she was left with Macbeth's observation after the murder. How could either one of them possibly ever get a good night's sleep after the heinous act that they'd committed? And that was exactly how Lady Macbeth ended her life: as a mentally anguished and unhinged perpetrator who dared neither sleep nor wake to the nightmares and reminders of evil.

How can you tell if you sleep walk?

User Avatar

Asked by HarryHandelbar

if you are like living by yourself and if you find things that have been moved, then it is probably you. if it isn't, then there must be someone coming into your house(that is if you don't lock your door). But otherwise, it is you. But let's say you are staying with a friend, family member, boyfriend, or you are married, and you find things in disorder, then it might be you or whoever you are staying with. It also depends on if sleepwalking is a gene in your family. So there you got it.

Looking for moved furniture or opened food packaging is a good first indicator, but if you're not sure and you want to verify whether you're leaving your room at night, stick a piece of tape across the crack of your door on the side that opens. If the tape is broken or one end of it is unstuck in the morning, you'll know you opened the door in your sleep.

User Avatar

Well, it depends if the infant or toddler can walk. If they can walk, then they can sleep walk. If they can crawl, then its physically they can sleep crawl. Hopefully, they will be secured in a crib so that you can prevent this from happening.

How do you sleep walk on purpose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The fact that most sleepwalking occurs within children is important and for this, there can be many reasons. One reason that's been proposed by some is that children's brains are simply too immature to understand the different phases of being awake and sleeping.

That basically means, most people sleepwalking are children. Howsoever, in some cases those kids grow up, still being sleepwalker. Basically most adults have been sleepwalkers since they were kids.

If an adult starts sleepwalking, and they've never done it before, it's usually a good idea to see a doctor. This can actually be a symptom of another disorder such as seizures, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.

What is lady Macbeth trying to do while sleepwalking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lady Macbeth does many weird things in her sleep. She keeps a candle near her at all times (as she wants to be rid of evil), and writes something down on a piece of paper before sealing it.

She also washes her hands for 15 minutes at a time, as she desperately attempts to clean her stained conscience. Finally, Lady Macbeth also rants in her sleep, by basically summarizing the evil doings of Macbeth (example: the killing of Banquo).

Can Prozac cause sleepwalking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer:

Trazadone reacts differently on different people, and in some, it acts as a strong sleeping aid. As with other sleep aids, such as Ambien, it can cause somnambulance- (walking or activity while you are asleep.) Usually, people don't remember unless someone tells them, or they find evidence of nighttime activity! Use caution and reduce dosage after consulting your primary care physician.

What are the main emotions that Lady Macbeth shows in her sleep walking scene?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She is reliving the scenes we have seen in the play and the emotions she felt at that time. She feels again her bossy dominating self, as she says, "Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeared?", "Wash your hands, put on your nightgown, look not so pale", "I tell you yet again, Banquo's buried." These are alternated with expressions of guilt: "Out damned spot", "Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?", "All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand."

What sleep stage to people sleepwalk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pretty much anything! I speak as a person who sleepwalked down a long corridor that we don't have in our house and woke up mid somersault as I fell down the stairs (broken bone in hand and broken little finger knuckle - I was lucky!). My brother has also seriously injured himself whilst sleepwalking. Ultimately, it depends on the dream you are having as to what you do while you sleepwalk. If you dream you are fighting then you'll fight anything in your sleep, if you dream there is a corridor where there is really a flight of stairs then you'll step off the top and tumble down...
