Sometimes, for no known reason, they may even inflict injury on others. In children, nightwalking is occasionally combined with night terrors.
Many families use extreme measures to safeguard nightwalkers form injury.
With NightOwl, families can now rest knowing the nighttime activity of their nightwalker is being monitored. The band can be worn around the walker's chest or waist. Whenever the walker stands or moves about, an alarm signal is sent to a remote receiver placed at the parent's bedside table. Like an invisible fence, a second alarm sounds if the walker would wander out of the house.
