text: how do you deal with a sleep walker? i have a new boyfriend and he is wonderful in everyway.. except he sleep walks?!?! it really freaked me out at first! i havent pointed out to him that he sleep walks because i dont know him that well and dont want to embarrass him. the other night he urinated behind my cupboard and spat on the floor, i cleared it up so he wouldnt know. any suggestions on what i can do? the most important thing here is to not wake him up while he is sleep walking because if you wake a sleepwalker while at it, he may get a severe shock which can be very harmful. you should talk to him about this, a therapy is required to cure the habbit of slepwalking, and unless you talk to him about it, you cant do anything.you should not hesitate because this will be for his benefit also...
