Luckily, getting this one wrong isn't likely to cause much harm - beyond its potential to give children nightmares or exacerbate a person's thanatophobia, of course.

Myth 5: You should never wake a sleepwalker
误解五:你绝对不能叫醒一个梦游的人
Though about 7 percent of the population will sleepwalk at some point in their lives, no one knows for sure what causes somnambulism. What to do should you encounter a slumbering pedestrian is also a source of confusion thanks to a very old misconception.
尽管世界上大约7%的人口会在人生的某个时期梦游,但没人知道是什么原因导致了梦游症。正是因为这个古老的误解,人们搞不清在碰到一个正在梦游的行人时到底应该怎么做。
Mark Pressman, a psychologist and sleep specialist at Lankenau Hospital in Pennsylvania, told Live Science the belief that it's dangerous to wake a sleepwalker began in ancient times when people used to think your soul left your body while you slept.
美国宾夕法尼亚州蓝科纳医院睡眠专家、心理学家马克•普雷斯曼告诉生活科学网站说,认为叫醒梦游者很危险的观念源自于古代,古人认为在你睡觉的时候,你的灵魂会离开你的身体。
Waking a sleepwalker, therefore, would doom the sleeper to a soulless existence. The supposed consequences of waking a sleepwalker have since evolved - some say you could induce a heart attack, or send the sleeper into a permanent state of insanity.
